Apple iPod Touch (5th generation, 32GB, black)

 

Editors' note, October 15, 2012: Updated with final battery life results and screen-testing observations.

The 2012 fifth-generation iPod Touch has an excellent set of features: better front and back cameras, 1080p video recording, iOS 6, and a 4-inch Retina Display just like on the iPhone 5, in a design even thinner than the iPhone.

The iPhone 5 still beats it on performance. The Touch lacks any phone functions, and there are tablet competitors that beat the $299 Touch on price and screen size.

The latest iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, and as close to a phoneless iPhone 5 as you can get -- but its high price makes it a tough call versus cheaper tablets with larger screens.

"The mix of iPhone 4, 4S and 5 and without a phone"

 

For me is a good device, I recommend it to people that doesnt care for the camera, phone, and performance. I'm an Apple fan but I think Apple could make better and even better with Steve Jobs.

Good 4" Retina Display

Has the A5 Chip, not the A6 as the

"Everything I expected plus more"

 

I love this new touch. I was never a touch gamer but I am now. The processor has plenty of zing and flipping through pages and apps is seamless. This thing is so light that you will forget that you even have it on you. The metal finish is sexy and...

Added MO+ app which turn the itouch into a awesome internet phone(free), and will soon bee picking up FreedomPop which gives me 3/4G data for FREE. Retina display is VERY crisp. Great in gaming, super light,sturdy,leather strap,750,000 apps

Price is high for me but u get what you pay for.

"As close to the I-phone 5 without the phone!"

 

This is what you want to get if you are wanting to have the i-phone without the phone and contract. Although pricey, however for the quality of product and features you get it is reasonable compared to getting an i-phone with contract.

All the benefits of the i-phone (less phone, faster processor, and better camera) without a contract.

the price of $299 for 32GB is not cheap.
