iPod touch 4th Gen (2010)

With a faster CPU, Retina display and FaceTime, what's not to like?

Good range of features ; Impressive performance ; Crisp sound quality

Slow connection speed ; Poor photo quality ; Disappointing Game Center

The addition on the iPhone 4's A4 processor and Retina Display, alongside 720p video recording, FaceTime support and the lacklustre Game Center bring the iPod touch up to par with its call-making alternative. We'd like to see cheaper pricing,...

iPod touch 4th Generation review

The iPod touch looks even better in white

It's white ; iOS 5 software rocks ; Thinner than an iPhone ; Retina Display ; iCloud integration

Still need to use iTunes ; Can't play common file formats ; Specs looking out of date ; Back attracts fingerprints & scratches ; It's not an iPhone

The most amazing thing about Apple's latest iPod touch is its colour.

Apple iPod Touch

Retina display, LED backlighting and improved battery life make the 4th generation Touch an even more enti

Retina display is stunning; fine picture quality; clear, detailed and expressive sound

No FM radio

Upgrade the headphones Use something suitable such as the Award-winning Beyerdynamic DTX-80s and you'll hear that the Touch is now capable of extracting an ounce or two of extra detail. The overall presentation is a little sharper and more precise.

First Look: Apple iPod touch 4G

We knew it was coming and it didn't take a genius to figure out what was in store for the fourth generation of the Apple iPod touch. Having seen the changes to the iPhone 4, it was only natural to assume that the iPod touch would be getting the pick of...

High resolution display, noticeably faster than last generation, HD video capture and playback, access to App Store

Price, we suspect the still image capture isn't going to be great

Apple iPod Touch (4th generation) review

If you're buying an iPod Touch for someone, this is not the iPod he or she wants. Trust me, people will want to open the box and see a shiny, colorful new fifth-generation iPod Touch . Your loved one will know the difference. The fifth generation has a...

The fourth-generation Apple iPod Touch , winner of CNET's 2011 Editors' Choice Award for portable media players, has been upgraded with new software and a boost in capacity.

The fifth-generation iPod Touch offers a larger screen, faster processor, and superior photo and camcorder quality.

The fourth-gen iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1.

Apple iPod touch (2011) review

Music is, of course, still central to the iPod touch. Album art is displayed by default. Fingertip control of the volume – Apple has sensibly stuck with a large blob on a slider for this – and playlist creation is a breeze. You can delete items from a...

We’re smitten with the latest version of the iPod touch on almost every level. Additions such as Photostream and the editable playlists really enhance the player’s usability while iCloud addresses some of the ‘tied to iTunes’ concerns we’ve raised in...

Apple iPod Touch (4th generation) review

Apple's iPod touch has had a radical makeover, with the fourth-generation Touch coming in the wake of the widely praised iPhone 4 and offering some of the same features. It is Apple's best iPod to date and can be considered a triple threat: a gaming...

The new iPod Touch is the best dedicated music player that Apple has released to date. The 'Retina' display, iOS4 and the faster processor mean that listening to music, playing games and surfing the Web are easier and more enjoyable than with its...
