Strike while it’s hot seems to be Apple’s motto because finally there is a miniature version of iPhone! But it’s not really a phone; it only looks like the iPhone…It is actually a new generation of the iPod music player, called the iPod Touch. Would you agree that in a big way Apple capitalizes on the iPhone’s popularity when they used its design on the Touch? Well, I think so.

Anyway, the iPod Touch is definitely a must-have gadget again. If you ask why, it’s because it has a 3.5in touchscreen feature, which is very much alike to the iPhone. It’s saying goodbye to conventional controls and hello to finger flickin’ delight with the iPod Touch. This screen allows user to play videos and video games in a widescreen format.

Another exciting feature is the Wi-Fi connectivity that means direct downloads from the Internet in no time. It’s the first among the iPod family so it’s really a great thing. Duration of use maters so iPod Touch’s batteries have been designed to hold 22 hours of audio play and 5 hours of video playback. This will be available this month as announced by Mr. Jobs. Watch out for 8GB model ($299) and 16GB version ($399).
