It has a touch interface and the same panoramic screen seen on the iPhone, not to mention a WiFi Internet connection.

The iPod touch also has WiFi connectivity so you can instantly access to Google, Yahoo! Search, and the millions of free videos available onYouTube. Unbelievably slim at just 8mm thick, the iPod touch is fixed with a superb 3.5? panoramic screen that is perfect for watching films or TV programmes and for displaying photos and album covers.The iPod touch is also equipped with an accelerometer that recognises the player?s orientation in space. When the iPod is in music mode, the Cover Flow function automatically displays album covers so you can flip through your music library quickly and easily. The iPod touch also has a built-in low-light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the environment. The iPod touch offers up to 22 hours of audio play time and up to 5 hours in video mode.Some might describe the iPod touch as one the new Seven Wonders of the World. Whether or not this is true, the iPod touch is certainly revolutionising the world of digital music players!
Manufacturer's Description:
 Touch Comes to iPod.
Music, video, photos, and websites in 8GB and 16GB models
 Multi-touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, entering calendar events, or adding new contacts.
 Ambient Light Sensor
The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.
 Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.
Touchscreen iPod  Music
If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod touch, you can flick through your music to find the album you want to hear. And when you do, a quick tap of the cover flips it over to display a track list. Another tap starts the music.
 Video
The 3.5-inch display gives you video like nothing you’ve seen before on a portable device. Watch your favorite movie. Catch up on television shows, anywhere. Enjoy video podcasts. Play music videos. All using multi-to uch technology that lets you bring up onscreen controls and go widescreen (or back to full screen) with a tap.
 Photos
iPod touch holds up to 20,000 photos you sync via iTunes. Flick to scroll through thumbnails. Tap to view full screen. Rotate for landscape format. Or perform some sleight of hand by opening two fingers to zoom in. You can even play slideshows, complete with music and transitions. Set any photo as your wallpaper to personalize your iPod touch...with a touch.
Wi-Fi Web Browser  Safari
With Apple’s Safari browser built in, iPod touch is the only iPod that gives you wireless access to the web, everywhere you go. See websites the way they were designed to be seen. Sync your bookmarks or add a few as you go. Search the web using the touchscreen keyboard. Zoom in and out by tapping the multi-touch display.
 YouTube
Got a bit of a YouTube addiction? iPod touch feeds it from anywhere with a special YouTube player built right in. Watch featured videos, check out the most viewed, search for something specific, then bookmark your favorites for future reference. It’s all the fun of YouTube — pocket-size.
 iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store
With iPod touch, you can discover new music anywhere. Built-in wireless capability gives you access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, where you can buy songs with a tap. Browse New Releases, What’s Hot, and Just Added lists. Or find exactly what you’re looking for with a quick search. Tap a song to preview it or tap Buy to purchase it. From anywhere.

I actually think the ipod touch is a fabulous piece of technology, but, I've judged on the weakest link, vista compliance. All other generations of ipod are compliant so why not the touch? I've tried every possible option but end up with the message that it's a camera and no drivers are available.

at first I was worried at the price of the touch ipod and was sceptible that it wasn't 'that' good. how I was wrong! So many functions and it looks amazing as well!

I got the 8GB iPod touch for christmas and keep discovering more great things as I use it.
The music player is the least important function for me. I really like the way it displays photos, I am using the calendar (which incidentally does allow you to key in new appointments with a touch screen Qwerty keyboard that's easy to use)and I'm transferring all my contact information to Outlook so that I can sync it with the ipod and have a great address book at hand. The clock functions are brilliant too.
Downsides...
Chargers and car adapters etc are ridiculously expensive
8Gb is too small as I have exceeded this capacity in music alone and have to hand select songs.... shame it is not expandable.

This is such an amazing product, in every aspect. It's almost like something from the future. This slim, sleek gadget does so much, and so much so well: music, videos, Internet surfing. But it'd say the genius with it is how well it does all these things. In fact, I've actually typed and submited this review using my iPod touch!
By the way, Amazon currently has its own iPhone/iPod touch-friendly website that automatically loads when you go to Amazon using an iPod touch. Although you can also access the usual Amazon site fine if you want.
