The iPod touch has always been shockingly skinny
And now at just 6.1mm it’s more anaemic than ever. Yet despite its wafer thin profile and bright coloured back panel
It’s tough as old boots
With the same glorious
Hard-to-scratch four-inch display as the iPhone 4It’s packing the same A5 processor as the iPhone 4S
Which is to say it’s blindingly fast
With a solid battery life to match it

The editors didn't like
Is there a market for iPods when so many people own iPhones
An unlocked iPhone 4 might be an alternative option worth considering
Lacks rear-facing camera
Smallest capacity
Very pricey
IOS still problematic
If there’s a problem
It’s more with the timing than anything else. More than half the UK population is now rocking a smartphone in their pocket
And even if it’s not an iPhone in yours
There’s a good chance it’s a touchscreen smartie with most of the same skills - and screen size. Why carry two gadgets that jump online
Let you play games
Listen to music and watch video on the go?To make matte
Expensive
Still reliant on the Apple-verse
Dock connector will annoy some
EQ settings aren't great
Apple Maps!
Lightning port is a reset
You still need iTunes
Supports very few audio & video file formats
Lowquality earphones
Increasingly viable small tablets are the biggest rival in both screen size and price
Entry price a little high
Loop lanyard feels gimmicky
Less affordable entry point than previous iPod touch
Slightly lighter than the 32GB model, Tremendous number of apps, Faster than previous budget iPod touch, Bigger screen than previous budget iPod
16GB storage could be tight for some, No rear, facing camera
If you have a good smartphone, you probably don't need an iPod touch, and if you just want a music player, you can save £70 and go with the £129 iPod nano. This gadget's real purpose is as a gateway to thousands of iOS apps for people who can't otherwise...

Great design, app choice, cheapest iPod
Lacks rear-facing camera, smallest capacity
If you enjoy taking photos with your mobile device the 16GB iPod touch is probably not for you. It remains a wonderful media and games player, although with a limited capacity compared to its bigger brothers. An extra £50 for the 32GB iPod touch – twice t...
Display, Impeccable sound quality, Processing power, Lots of functions
Supports very few audio & video file formats, Lowquality earphones
The iPod Touch has pretty much all the features the iPhone has, except for the phone function and 3G. It's an excellent product with flawless sound quality, but the logic behind it is a bit hard to pin down. Given the price, most people will probably opt ...

Abstract: The fifth-generation model of the Apple iPod Touch music player finally fixes a long standing problem that plagued previous versions. The shiny, reflective but easily scuffed and scratched metal rear has finally been replaced with a far more scratch-re...

Lightest, slimmest iPod Touch yet, excellent screen, improved camera, great range of apps,
Less affordable entry point than previous iPod touch
It's a shame the cheaper versions have gone, but despite its considerable price tag, the latest iPod touch still offers good value for money, with a terrific screen, excellent syncing possibilities through iTunes and an unsurpassed range of available a...

Apple Maps!, Lightning port is a reset, You still need iTunes
We'd say the iPod touch 5th Generation makes a pretty convincing argument for small form factor devices, especially for kids who might find larger devices cumbersome to hold. Even for adults, 7-inch and larger tablets are too big to pop into your pocket...

As a dedicated media player for your music, games, videos, and web browsing, the new Touch is clearly ahead of the previous generation.However, the market has changed in the years since the iPod Touch was first introduced. Already a somewhat niche product...
