The iPod touch

The iPod touch, like the iPhone, lets you access the Web over a Wi-Fi Internet connection. With the iPod touch, you can use the built-in Safari Web browser to interact with Web services and applications, and the YouTube application to play videos on the Web. The iPod touch offers an on-screen keyboard for typing login entries, passwords, and text of any kind, including numbers and punctuation symbols. The innovative touch-sensitive display provides a rich set of navigation controls and menus controlled by software. You can use the Cover Browser with your finger to browse your music and video collection. You can even access the iTunes Store directly from your iPod touch and purchase content.
