September iPod Event: Apple Unveils New iPod Touch With A4, Facetime, Retina Display

And here’s what many of us have been waiting for: Apple officially unveils the new iPod Touch. And as suspect, it takes more than a bit of a queue from the iPhone 4, with dual cameras, an A4 CPU and a Retina Display. But orget about 3G. It is a smidge thinner, though, if that’s a comfort.

“The iPod touch has been a remarkable product for us,” says Jobs. ” It has become the most popular product for us — it used to be the nano. A lot of people call it the iPhone without a phone. But it’s also an iPhone without the contract!”

So what’s new?

• A beautiful new Retina Display.

• Apple’s 1GHZ A4 CPU

• A 3-Axis Gyroscope

• iOS 4.1 With Game Center

• FaceTime with both front and back camera. Unlike the iPhone 4, there’s no flash.

• HD video recording capabilities.

And what about the price? $229 buys you 8GB, $299 buys you 32GB and $399 buys you 64GB.
