It's fair to say that the iPod Touch might be the most amazing MP3 player ever released at this point in time. This incredible little device lets you listen to your music, watch videos and browse your photographs. You can also surf the internet, send and receive emails, play games, find your way with Google maps and organise yourself with the built-in calendar and contacts options.

The primary reason to own an iPod is for music and with the touch listening too and accessing your music has never been easier. You can browse your music by artist, album, genre and song. If you turn the iPod on its side you can browse your music by album art which is handy but also looks damn cool. Playlists are a big feature on the Touch and you can create your own on the fly lists as well as built-in lists such as 'recently added' or 'Top 25 most played'.

Did you know that the iPod Touch is a powerful gaming machine? There are hundreds of games available on the App Store. Once you are in a Wi-Fi area just tap the icon on screen and you can download anything from racing games to platform games. The Touch has lots of clever technology such as a built-in accelerometer which lets you use the iPod itself as a controller. Even if videogames aren't your thing there are also hundreds of applications you can download for your little wonder such as an internet radio application, Google Earth and much more.

Unlike other devices which promise to make surfing the internet portable and easy the iPod actually delivers on this promise. Load up webpages rich with content and zoom in for a close look. Surf YouTube, check the news headlines, pay your bills. You can even send and receive emails.
Many major email applications are supported and accessing your mail on the iPod touch is much like it is on computer. You can even view attachments. If someone sends you a photograph you like you can save it to your iPod or send it onto your friends. It's never been easier to keep in touch. When you are out and about the Touch will automatically look for Wi-Fi hotspots and connect you automatically if you so desire.

No other MP3 player makes it so easy to browse and view your photographs like the iPod touch. You can create albums for different occasions and even view slideshows. You can rotate the iPod to view an image in portrait or landscape modes. You can tap the image and it will zoom in. Pinch the photo to resize or tap a button and you can email it to friends or family.

When you are out and about and have access to a Wi-Fi connection you can load up Google Maps and get directions. The iPod finds your position using Wi-Fi hotspots. Just type in an address and the iPod will automatically show you the way to go. You can select a map view, a satellite view showing real photographs of the buildings and streets or a hybrid map of both.

Did you know that the iPod touch can also help you organise your life? It has a detailed calendar. You can add events, set custom alerts, write notes and even manage multiple colour coded calendars. You can view all upcoming events on a day to day basis, on a monthly basis or as one comprehensive list. There is even a seperate notepad that lets you take detailed notes which you can then email to friends and family. Want to check stocks or what the weather is going to be like for the next few days? Oh yes..... you can do that with the touch.
There is even a built-in calculator and when you turn the iPod to the side it becomes a scientific calculator.
You can build a contacts list with the iPod Touch. Build a contacts list on your PC or Mac and you can sync the information directly to the iPod using iTunes. You can even create individual contacts directly on the iPod itself. Add details such as email addresses, phone numbers, website details and even contact photos.
