The player can also be used specifically for MP3’s and WMA’s, and offers song title, artist, and album information. As far as storage capacity, the GoGear ViBE offers 4 GB of NAND Flash, for roughly around 900 tracks of music.

The iPod Touch got a serious hardware upgrade, as Apple looks to be drooling over the mobile gaming pie.

The Touch is now faster and supports OpenGL|ES, which should improve game performance.

Two new features are voice-controlled music playback and voice memos; the earphones have been updated with a microphone.

There is no video camera for the iPod Touch, perhaps because this would create competition with the iPhone.

Overview of Features

  • Control music playback with spoken commands.
  • Audio recorder
  • Genius Mixes
  • Buy or rent movies and TV shows
  • App Store
  • Shop on iTunes
  • Safari Web Browser, Mail, Maps and YouTube
  • Nike+ support
