8 GB of storage for $299
16 GB of storage for $399
The iPod touch is much more than just an iPod
The Official Release of IPod Touch
September 07, 2007 (Computerworld) -- More Newton than iPod, more tablet than music player, the new Apple Inc. iPod touch unveiled this week by CEO Steve Jobs breaks into a new hardware category that should scare the ultramobile PC/Nokia Tablet world.
Apple's much-anticipated launch of the iPod touch this week heralds a new era for Apple's wildly popular line of music and video players. The iPod, which emerged first as nothing more than a portable music player -- albeit one dripping in cool -- grew up to become a music and video device in adolescence and is now a semi-full-featured Internet tablet device.
Sure, the iPhone launched last June opened the floodgates in this area, and most of the iPod touch's technology is leveraged from the iPhone. But the iPhone came with a special surprise inside: You had to sign up with AT&T for two years. (You also had to pay a fairly steep price for the hardware, a point Apple attempted to fix with its decision to drop the low-end iPhone and cut the price on the other model by $200 -- a near public relations disaster rectified at the last minute by the offer of a $100 credit to early-iPhone-adopters.)
Unlike the U.S.-only iPhone, the new iPod touch is a true mass market device with international appeal. Every high school kid from Tokyo to Paris to Albuquerque -- and a lot of their parents -- will decide they absolutely "need" one. Presidents use them, grandmothers use them, soccer moms and NASCAR dads use them. All have used iPods for listening to music, looking at photos and watching videos. Now for $299 and $399, depending on whether you're drooling over the 8GB model or the 16GB model, this device can also take a bigger bite of the workload from the world's laptops and TVs.
