iPod Touch
The iPod Touch (stylized and marketed as lowercase iPod touch; also colloquially referred to as the iTouch, by analogy to the iPhone)
is a portable media player, personal digital assistant, handheld game console, and Wi-Fi mobile platform designed and marketed by Apple.
The iPod Touch adds the multi-touch graphical user interface to the iPod line. It is the first iPod with wireless access to the iTunes
Store, and also has access to Apple's App Store, enabling content to be purchased and downloaded directly on the device. As of March 2011,
Apple has sold over 60 million iPod Touch units.
The iPod Touch runs iOS. The first major update after the initial release was iPhone OS 2.0. This update introduced the App Store,
which allowed third-party applications for the first time. iPhone OS 2.0 debuted June 29, 2008. iPhone users received the update for
free, while iPod Touch users had to pay for the update. The second major update to the operating system, iPhone OS 3.0, was released
June 17, 2009. iPhone OS 3.0 added features such as cut, copy, and paste; data tethering; and push notification support. As with the
previous major release, iPhone users received the update for free, while iPod Touch users had to pay for the update. iOS 4.0 was made
available to the public on June 21, 2010. It was the first major iOS release to drop support for some devices; the first generation
iPod Touch and original iPhone are not supported in iOS 4.0. The iPhone 3G and second generation iPod Touch had limited functionality
under iOS 4.0, while the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, third generation iPod Touch, and fourth generation iPod Touch had full functionality
under iOS 4.0. The major features introduced in iOS 4.0 included iBooks, FaceTime, and multitasking. iOS 5.0 was previewed to the
public on June 6, 2011, and is expected to be released in the fall of 2011.
