Continuing the grand tradition of the iPhone guided tours, Apple has posted an iPod Touch Guided Tour. Get an eyeful of the new snazzy user interface without leaving your desk!To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

If they had just put video out and Bluetooth in this. Well I don’t know if it has video out or not, I can’t find the information for it or the new nano. This would have been hacked so fast to be the new TV appliance.

Bluetooth would be nice, but video out sounds nice, but not really practical for what the device is. Besides, isn't that what 3rd-party peripherals are for?

The apple store is selling the Ipod dock for it and the new nano, and it states "Video out". It would just be nice to say download a new file video, or audio (HEY what about a podcast) from the new iTunes wi-fi from the couch. Something i wish my apple TV did. and watch via TV. I know its the portable kinda player, but apple is so close to whole house audio and video distribution that I think a developer could tie them all together (MAC, apple TV, Ipod, airport express, talking to each other independently)

I gotta know if there is going to be some enterprising genius that will figure out how to get Skype or Gizmo Project working on the iPod Touch if you simply add a headset that has a mic on it!! Can you imagine how cool that would be? $30 a year to get unlimited Skype out in North America and no cellular contract - just awesome. All you have to do is have a wifi connection - and they're getting more ubiquitous all the time!

Don't know if anyone else saw/tried this, but the guided tour video provided an Apple ID and password for the iTMS. I just tried it, but it didn't work. Always worth a try, to see if someone was asleep.

Hey, notice that the iPod Touch only has 7 GB available to use! (you can see it in the video while syncing)

Woe is me. I want the same CoverFlow implementation in OSX's iTunes, i.e. click an album and it flips around to show the songs contained within. That way I can have just CoverFlow showing instead of a CoverFlow window and list window.

What i want to know is whether you will have the ability to edit and add events and contacts on the go. I think that Apple is missing a selling point by not emphasizing these features more. I would love to have access to that from my iPod. Also, no student pricing on the new Classic or the Touch. That is incredibly irritating. Whats the point of having an educational discount if you arent going to honor it on the most popular products. Thank goodness for the Walt Disney Company corporate discount. And last but not least, I have some concerns over the speed of the 16GB model. My roommate worked for Hitachi on their hard drive division (he also knows about flash) and said that the 16GB flash memory is significantly slower than smaller capacities. I hope he is wrong. He also mentioned that they are at a size barrier. Makes me think it could be a long while before we see a larger Touch capacity. Just a couple things to think about. Would love to hear others thoughts.

I think the big question is how similar is the system on the iPod Touch to the iPhone? I have no way to buy an iPhone that can actually use the phone (England, innit with no desire to open things up) so am interested in getting this. Could be quite fun to use some of the homebrew stuff like the NES emulator straight away on release. I'm hoping it literally is an iPhone without the phone. But the tech specs page for the iPod Touch don't have the "OS" section.

Nooo! They forgot the volume button on the side!!

Have they even announced a remote for this iPodtouch yet? You know how much a pain in the ass (pardon my french) it's going to be to even MUTE the volume on this damn thing?
1) Take it out of your back pocket, bag, jacket, wherever you stuffed it
2) unlock it
3) open the music app / now playing screen
4) adjust the volume
this is pretty retarded. Heck, even the iphone had buttons on the side you could do some basic things with.
I'm almost red with rage that there was no mention of this at all in the keynote. It's another fine example of form over function with Apple products (and believe me, I'm one of the biggest Apple supporters and defenders out there, but this just boils my blood).

The rewind/fast forward seems to work MUCH better (ie. faster when you touch the button longer) on iPod touch (same in iPhone?) than in OS X Quicktime Player: it continues to drive me nuts how SLOW rew/ff is in Quicktime Player.
Maybe Leo Quicktime Player can learn seomthing from little iPod touch.
iPod touch guy will be intern in the next Grey's Anatomy season, or something. He's so cute.

It appears that the iPod Touch DOES have BLUETOOTH!
On the US page the picture of the ipod touch playing a BMX video in the top right hand corner is the Bluetooth logo!!!

Do you think there will be a price drop in the iPod touch in the next 2 months?
