Overview

iPod touch. It has fun written all over it.

Messages with iMessage
Free text messaging. Yep, free.
Now you can send text messages from iPod touch to any other iOS 5 device over Wi-Fi. Text a little. Text a lot. Text as much as your thumbs can handle. It’s unlimited. And it’s free.

Camera with HD Video Recording
Ready, and action.
The next great Internet meme could be yours. iPod touch and its HD video camera go with you everywhere, so you can capture every “What the?” moment that comes your way.

Get your game face on.
The App Store features over 500,000 apps, many of which are free. That includes over 100,000 game and entertainment titles — more than any other platform. And you can go head-to-head with millions of other gamers on Game Center. No wonder iPod touch is the world’s most popular portable game player. You’ll wish you had more fingers.

iOS 5
Included with iPod touch.
With over 200 new software features, the world's most advanced mobile operating system is now even further ahead of anything else.

iCloud
Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud stores your music, photos, documents and more, and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. Automatic and seamless - it just works. And it's free with iOS 5.

Note: some black iPod touch models may require iOS 5 to be downloaded from iTunes
