News: i-Pod Touch 5th Generation

Okay well, I was skimming through i-Pod touch's when I found out that they are realeasing a new generation.

Well, lets start with going over some new features:

Siri
Aluminum Color Backing
New Earphones (Ear Pods)
Thinner
Lighter
4 Inch Retina Display
iOS 6
Loop Handgrip

Well, I guess I'll go over the color. The i-Pod nano (Review coming soon) has had colors since the 3rd Generation (2007), and the i-Pod Shuffle since 2nd Generation (2006), yet the i-Touch didn't get colors (except black and white) until now. The color is only shown on the back (except for the black color, which is all black) and white on the front around the screen. The i-Touch now comes with Siri, which used to be featured on only the i-Phone 4S (and upgraded i-Phone 4). The i-Touch 5G also seems to have a thinner appearance and is said to feel really light. This new version also has iOS 6.
The 5G also has a 4 in. retina display, which has a perfect widescreen fit for HD Movies and TV Shows without letterboxing.

Accessories:
Well, every i-Pod comes with some nice stuff included with it. For instance, the i-Pod has always come with earphones and a USB cable. Well, as they always have, this i-Pod Touch 5G comes with earphones. But now, these earphones have had a little makeover. Apple has made the EarPods.

Weird looking, huh? Apple took a group of a few hundred people and examined their ears in order to make a better fitting earphone. That little speaker to the left of the L in the picture above has the music go right intgo your ear canal for better sound.

The i-Pod Touch also now features a loop handgrip, so that your i-Pod won't fall and break.
