OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA
You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was
on it when it crashed.
I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they
do not make the black nanos anymore.
I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the
problem.
Thank you.

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And
thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in
summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not
unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent
quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao

The new iPod touch looks like an iPhone but plays like an iPod. It has a touch screen interface similar to that of the iPhone. Like the iPhone, it includes a physical home button separate from the touch screen.
The home screen includes a list of buttons corresponding to the available applications: Safari, YouTube, Calendar, Contacts, Clock, Calculator, and Settings are at the top. Music, Videos, Photos, and iTunes on the bottom of the screen.
It has a 3.5in multi-touch display; cover flow music navigation; and accelerometer that automatically detects its position and orients the screen accordingly.
To listen to music, tap 'Music' and you will see options like 'Playlists', 'Artists', 'Songs', 'Videos' and 'More' buttons at the bottom of the screen. The 'More' button includes 'Albums', 'Audiobooks', 'Compilations', 'Composers', 'Genres', and 'Podcasts'.
When turned on its side you can browse your music in Cover Flow view by flicking your finger to move through your collection of albums. When an album cover is tapped, the cover flips around to reveal the contents of the album. To play a track, you just tap the track name.
Within the 'Keyboard Settings' menu options, you'll find an international 'Keyboards' button that allows you to select a keyboard layout for the country you live in. Instead of having to switch to the numeric keyboard to insert a full stop, you can simply double-tap the keyboard's space bar to insert a full stop and a following space.
Video playback works much the same way as the iPhone, except some notable options not currently found on the iPhone. To watch videos, go to the 'Settings' application, tap Video, and your video will start playing.
The best thing I like about the video playback on the new iPod touch is it allows you to choose between starting from the beginning or resuming from where your video was last played on the iPod or iTunes.
There are also Closed Captioning (On/Off) options as well as Widescreen and TV Signal TV Out options. Widescreen is an On/Off toggle and TV Signal lets you select NTSC or PAL.
The 8GB new iPod touch (1,750 songs) model sells for $299 and the 16GB (3,500 songs) sells for $399. It plays up to 22 hours of audio or 5 hours of video playback. It includes the same Apple earbuds as in other iPods and uses a standard 3.5mm headset jack, which means you can use other headphones of your choice.
At 8mm thick, the new iPod touch is lighter and thinner than the iPhone and a bit shorter at 110 — 61 — 7.9mm. With dimensions of 110 x 61.8 x 8 mm you'll have no worries putting it in your pocket.

The biggest low down of the iPod touch is the capacity. Best of all is you can browse the internet if you can access a free Wi-Fi connection and all comes at no extra cost. Treat yourself to a brand new iPod touch.
