Not a compliment. Screen is gorgeous
This is simply the best-looking iPod
Indeed the best-looking MP3 player we've ever laid eyes on. The Touch 4G is even thinner than its predecessors – any bulges have been eradicated to leave a sheer
Smooth device.The new Retina Display that it shares with the iPhone 4 is just as stunning with its crisp
Clear 960×640 display – perfect for album artwork or the new Games Centre capabilities.Indee

The camera comes without a flash
TN screen
Not IPS like on the iPhone 4
Low resolution on the screen
Headphones need replacing
Facetime is a mess
No GPS
Camera quality not great
Scratches easily
No Siri voice-control
It’s still no iPhone
Still need to use iTunes
Can't play common file formats
Specs looking out of date
Back attracts fingerprints & scratches
It's not an iPhone
Rubbish camera
No FM radio or GPS
Reliance on iTunes
The camera is not the same as the iPhone 4's
The camera on the new iPod touch is still a touch disappointing. Stills top out at a maximum of 960×720
So you won't be replacing your cam with these just yet. And the fixed focus doesn’t help matters.The maximum capacity is a mere 64GB
So this is not for audiophiles. And the lack of FLAC support may put them off too. But then
This isn't a device designed for the audiophile market.
No FM radio
Still camera poor compared to iPhone 4
No GPS hardware.
Top end model is a lot of money
No Flash video support
FaceTime
Though excellent
Is of limited use
Lo-res stills capture. Not much AirPlay-compatible kit available at launch. Viewing angle not as good as iPhone 4. Bundled buds are bin bound
Rather expensive entrylevel model
Lightning connector compatibility issues
Price
Camera offering a little lacklustre
New design isn't as comfortable as the last version

Retina display provides sharp images and text; FaceTime; built-in mic and speaker make VoIP easier; improved Bluetooth support; includes majority of non-phone iPhone features

Abstract: The in late 2007, in the aftermath of a summer of sheer iPhone frenzy, was anticlimactic. The new device was hobbled by its hardware (no speaker or volume controls) and its software (Apple originally omitted Notes, Mail, Stocks, Maps, and Weather). It...

Superb screen and CPU, Good battery life, Incredibly versatile, FaceTime video chatting
Cameras are crippled, Slightly expensive, Easily smudged and scratched
More importantly, the iPod Touch can now take advantage of the multitude of apps that require a built-in microphone and/or camera. The mic is inconveniently placed right next to the rear camera, but at least you no longer have to plug in a separate hea...
