iPod::
The iPod Touch (stylized, trademarked, and marketed as lowercase iPod touch, commonly known as the iTouch[9]) is a portable media player, personal digital assistant, and Wi-Fi mobile platform designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The iPod Touch adds the multi-touch graphical user interface to the iPod line. It is the first iPod with wireless access to the iTunes Store, and also has access to Apple's App Store, enabling content to be purchased and downloaded directly on the device. Apple Inc. has sold over 45 million iPod Touch units as of September 2009. The operating system that runs all iPhones and iPod Touches is called iOS (iPhone Operating System.) Since iOS 1.0 the operating system has received a major update each year at roughly around the same time. The first major update to the iOS was iOS 2.0. This version of the iOS introduced the App Store which allowed 3rd party applications to be run on iPhones and iPod touches. iOS 2.0 debuted June 29, 2008. iPhone users received the update for free while iPod touch users had to pay. The second major update to the operating system, iOS 3.0 was released June 17, 2009. iOS 3.0 added features such as cut, copy and paste, data tethering and push notification support. As with the previous major release iPhone users got the update for free while iPod Touch users had to pay. iOS 4 was made available to the public on June 21, 2010. This is the first major iOS release to drop support for some devices. The iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2nd generation have limited features, while the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3rd generation & iPod Touch 4th generation have all features enabled. The iPod Touch first generation and original iPhone are not supported in this release. The major features included in this release are iBooks, FaceTime and multitasking.
Apple has received criticism for charging iPod Touch owners for major updates of iOS that iPhone owners can obtain at no charge, as well as excluding certain features from the iPod Touch software that are included in the iPhone.[12][13] Apple has said that they can add features for free to the iPhone because the revenue from it is accounted for on a subscription basis under accounting rules, rather than as a one time payment.[14] At WWDC in June 2010, Jobs announced that Apple had "found a way" to make subsequent OS upgrades available free to iPod Touch owners. However, iOS 4.0 and onwards isn't available for the first generation iPod touch and some features are only available for the 32GB and 64GB third generation iPod touches released in September 2009 and the fourth generation iPod touches in 2010. The iPod Touch has a slim rectangular shape with rounded edges, with a glass multi-touch display covering most of the top surface and a physical home button off the touchscreen. The display functions similarly to the multi-touch trackpad as implemented in Apple's current line of laptop computers. It is also very similar to the iPad interface and the Apple Magic Trackpad. The touch and gesture features of the iPod Touch are based on technology originally developed by FingerWorks
