Apple slims down iPod Touch

Apple iPod TouchToday, Apple revamped its iPod Touch devices. The new line is thinner, adds the 960 x 640 ultra-sharp Retina Display found on the iPhone 4, and includes front and back cameras. Basically, it’s an iPhone4 without the phone part.

Like the iPhone 4, the new iPod Touch line can now take advantage of Apple’s FaceTime video communication application (wi-fi only), shoot HD video, and edit video via the iMovie app (sold separately).

Three capacities are available: 8 Gb ($229.00), 32 Gb ($299.00), and 64 Gb ($399.00).

The players can be pre-ordered immediately with units expected to ship next week.
