iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. The multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers.

Is this the official spiel from Apple? Just can't help but wonder when I used anything else other than my fingers to control my mp3 players.

I THINK IT MEANS NO BUTTONS (EXCEPT ON) JUST TOUCH SCREEN

Yep, google it up and that phrase appears on the Apple site for the iPhone and the iPod. Does sound kinda daft now that you've pointed it out.

I'll wait for the iFoot edition.

Appears it is Apple's doing: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html#touch

Thinking about it, the wording is VERY Apple, they take something completely uninteresting and minor and make it sound completely epic. Like the adverts... Ugh.

Now that would be sweet. My only worry, with all these video capable screens, is that it would suddenly start showing dirty, dirty porn while I'm listening to some tunes on the bus :/

I think it's supposed to make sure people don't think they need a stylus? And of course to reiterate that there are no buttons. Of course there's web browsing etc, etc too, it's so much more than an MP3 player and quite a few things it can do would leave people expecting keys somewhere - so I guess it's to stop people thinking it has a hidden keypad somewhere. Feels great, and although the interface is a bit unusual to get used to, it's really easy to use once you use it a bit.

The iPod Touch can browse the web? So it is basically an iPhone that can't make calls...?

 

[kitten_caboodle]

yep. That's it in a nutshell basically. It all the features and bits and bobs of the iphone but without tying people into a big contract (which is what seemed to be turning lots of people off) - Think they're going for the 'i want a seperate PDA to my phone' market, as well as the phone market.

Don't be daft. If you could do that Apple wouldn't be able to screw people for the iPhone.
