If you think a £110 premium is a fair price to pay for a bigger screen and App Store downloads, you'll love the touch. If not, turn to the classic and bag yourself an extra 96GB.

An improvement over its predecessor and while it's great to use every day, it isn't quite perfect.

When this itouch works,it's ok,BUT if you live in a humid area,Like i do in Tennessee, or have a ipod base that you listen to in a shower or bath, they have a strip that turns pink if the humidity is high and they WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRENTY!

Now that the iPod touch is in its fourth generation, Apple finds itself at interesting crossroads. The company simply doesn't have any competition right now in the high-end portable media player market.

Fast A4 processor; Sharp Retina Display; Superb gameplay gets social with Game Time; 720p video recording; FaceTime calling capability

Low-resolution still camera; Narrower viewing angles than iPhone 4; Pricier than predecessor

There's a joke widely told among tech nerds ending with a punch line that goes something like, "I loved my first gen iPod Touch when it could make calls and was called an iPhone." The iPod Touch may constitute 40 percent of iOS sales, but the general consensus among gadget hounds is why ?

Feels impossibly thin-we literally lost the Touch in our own pockets; Looks so sharp you could nearly shave with it; Runner? You're in luck; Touch supports Nike plus; 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi support; The display is beautiful, brilliant and mesmerizing; All glory to the hypno-screen

Rubbish camera; No FM radio or GPS; Reliance on iTunes
