Apple presents its new iPod Touch

San Francisco (dpa) - Apple has released the latest version of the iPod, the Touch. The Touch comes with multiple new features, including a touch-sensitive widescreen.
Other new features include a web browser and wireless internet access (WLAN). There's also a new mobile version of Apple's online music shop, the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, that allows users to download songs directly onto their iPod Touch without a computer.
During the presentation of the iPod Touch in San Francisco, Apple chief Steve Jobs said the new iPod will be released in 20 countries when it hits markets in September, just like its predecessors.
The iPod Touch comes with 8 gigabytes of memory and will cost 299 euros (418 dollars) and the 16 GB version comes at a price of 399 euros. To make the WLAN access more attractive, the Touch comes bundled with access to Google, Yahoo and YouTube.
Apple has also fine tuned its Nano and iPod Video, now dubbed the iPod Classic. The new Nanos are even smaller, but come with a larger display. The new Nano also plays videos.
Jobs also announced that the 8 GB iPhone, released in the United States in July, will be reduced by about one-third to 399 dollars. A smaller version will be discontinued. There is still no set date for the iPhone's release in Germany.
