Yesterday Steve Jobs has introduced the highly anticipated touch-sensitive iPod after months of rumors has been circulating. Dubbed as iPod Touch, it has the same look with Apple iPhone from the outside with a large, 3.5-inch widescreen and a customary ‘home’ button at the bottom. As for the screen itself, it is able to display images just like the iPhone and adopts the company’s “pinch-to-zoom” technique. It also supports the customary slide for unlocking the device. Steve Jobs said:

It features our revolutionary multi-touch interface that you’ve come to know and love on the iPhone. If you’ve used an iPhone you’ll feel at home, it’s exactly the same.

The new apps specific to iPod Touch and the iPhone was also been unveiled, the iTunes WiFi music store which enables users to preview and download songs through WiFi. Furthermore, it utilizes Safari Web browser and supports YouTube. Other features, include CoverFlow technology, 802.11 b/g support and a WiFi meter (for monitoring signal strength).

The upcoming iPod Touch offers 22 hours of playing music or 5 hours of playing video and will be available in 8GB and 16GB models (priced at $300 and $400 respectively). Both models are expected to launch “in just a few weeks”, probably before the end of September.
