Same screen as iPhone 5. Camera is much improved. Crazy light. We like the wrist strap and Lightning port. Colors look great.
Battery life the same as the last version. iSight camera isn’t exactly flush with the back of the iPod. An iPad-like, no-contract 4G version would be incredible.
If I were the type to carry a Mi-Fi around (or I weren’t so addicted to streaming music), I would try to ditch my iPhone 5 and just carry an iPod touch. It’s that much fun to use. Product iPod touch Company Apple Contact www.apple.com Price Price...
