Apple Reinvents Cool All Over Again with the iPod Touch...

page0_blog_entry79_1 Apple unveiled the latest update to their hit digital music player and it's called iPod Touch and it's gorgeous as it's a slightly smaller version of the iPhone so it contains features first seen in Apple's hit cellular phone, the iPhone. One of the coolest features, in my opinion is finally has WI-FI which allow you to purchase via WIWI-FI from Apple's new WI-FI iTunes music store directly to your iPod Touch. I've been waiting for WI-FI to come to the iPod Touch and it's pretty cool now that it's here plus the deal with Starbucks is brilliant for Apple and Starbucks. When you enter a Starbucks with WI-FI your iPod sees the network and you're allowed onto the network at no charge (in other words, no fees to T-mobile to access the WI-FI hotspot). This is of course to facilitate the ability of visitors to purchase music they're hearing in Starbucks in that very moment; purchase it via the Wi-Fi iTunes store as they sell Starbucks music already. Cool beans. The new iPod Touch comes in 8GB and 16GB models beginning at $299.00. As I learn more I'll update this post and include a full review once I've used it. Check out the video demo. at apple.com to see the new iPod Touch. So cool, so Apple.
