Apple iPod touch fifth-gen in official photos

Apple has just finished telling us all about its new revision of the iPod touch, so we thought we'd do the only good thing and show you all the shiny official pictures.

The new iPod touch may not look any different to the previous version, but it's what's underneath the covers that counts. It's running iOS 5 -- the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system that brings over-the-air updates, advanced camera features and a handy notification centre to easily see new messages and app alerts.

Twitter integration has been built into the user interface across several apps so you can tweet a photo or video directly from your camera album or YouTube without having to manually attach it to a tweet in the Twitter App.

It also offers iMessage, a free messaging service for chatting to friends and family who also have an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad. It still packs the pin-sharp retina display so pictures, videos and apps will all look stunning.

Sadly, Apple hasn't updgraded the camera to an 8-megapixel sensor with 1080p movie capture as it has with the iPhone 4S, but it will still do the job for some family snaps and for FaceTiming -- that's video calling -- your mates.

It's available now in black or white from the Apple store in 8GB, 32GB and new 64GB capacities for £169, £249 and £329 respectively.

I placed the order for the new iPod touch white color. Apple sent me the confirmation email order, and it said iPod touch white (4th Gen)
There is no fifth generation for iPod touch. Many websites had failed to report the iPod touch. new color doesn’t mean that is new generation

Who cares if it's barely an updated version? It has iOS 5 BUILT IN, so you don't have to manually update it. And it comes in white. Just ordered the 64GB version. Well worth my $300.
