No GPS
Poorquality earbuds
Expensive
IPhone screen is better
Non-expandable / replaceable
Glossy screen reflects lots of ambient light
Not the same IPS panel as the new iPhone
Screen AND body is a FINGERPRINT magnet
Requires iTunes to load media on to it
Low resolution cameras
Storage is not upgradeable
Not compatible with 3rd gen cases
802.11n is only 2.4Ghz
Not 5Ghz support
Battery is not easily end user replaceable
Short warranty
Increased price over past model...
The still camera is a terrific addition
But not at only 960-by-720 quality
How small is too small when it comes to edge-mounted buttons
It is not specifically for movies
We wish it was compatible with more movie formats.
Low-resolution still camera
Narrower viewing angles than iPhone 4
Pricier than predecessor
The fifth-generation iPod Touch offers a larger screen
Faster processor
And superior photo and camcorder quality
Poor quality still pictures
No GPS receiver
No 16GB option
Rear-facing camera produces mediocre results
No camera flash
So-so still photos
Body prone to smudges
Scratches
Quite expensive. Limited storage. Lousy earbuds.
No FM radio
No numerical battery
Low resolution and low quality still photography
Quite expensive
Lousy earbuds
Low-res camera
New screen and cameras fall noticeably short of iPhone 4 performance levels. Weak still camera performance is a particular issue on all models
Lowest-end model has jumped $30 in price while remaining stuck at an increasingly objectionable 8GB/6.5GB o
Metallic finish collects more fingerprints than the NSA. Higherend models are fairly costly. No flash on the browser or the camera. Video recording and stillimage capture could be a touch (ha!) better
Below-average file support
Low-res rear camera
Smudgy mirror finish
Back camera quality is lowNeeds a GPS chipScreen is lacking IPS technology
Display is sensational, the App Store, user interface, versatility, build quality
Price, camera offering a little lacklustre, new design isn't as comfortable as the last version, limited format support
It sounds great when listening to music, looks great when watching video and it is a real pleasure to use. Easily pocketable to take on the move and with excellent fast rendering of websites and connected apps for when you are in a friendly network, yo...
Calling it wafer thin would be an insult, not a compliment. Screen is gorgeous
The camera is not the same as the iPhone 4's, no GPS
Hi-fi purists will still scoff, but for most, this is once again the best PMP in the world by a very, very long way...

Extremely versatile device, addition of FaceTime video calling, much improved clear and bright display, HD video recording, better gaming potential, powered by Apple's A4 chip.
Still camera poor compared to iPhone 4, no GPS hardware.
Great HD video. Print quality screen. Wi-Fi video calling. Three-axis gyro for improved gaming control
Lo-res stills capture. Not much AirPlay-compatible kit available at launch. Viewing angle not as good as iPhone 4. Bundled buds are bin bound
Excels as a music player, games machine, videocamera and so much more. The best iPod yet ...

New color; new price; feature-packed OS; performs tasks such as music playback, recording HD video and playing games better than its competitors.
Photo quality doesn't hold up to the iPhone 4's; no GPS; no option for 3G data service.
The iPod touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill. ...

The fourth generation of Apple's iPod touch offers nothing but improvements, including an HD camcorder, front-facing camera, integrated microphone, FaceTime video calling, Retina Display, gyroscope sensor, and a slimmer, lighter design.
Photo quality doesn't hold up to the iPhone 4's; there's no GPS, and no option for 3G data service.
High resolution display, HD video recording, Excellent media playback, App support, Good connectivity
Average battery life for gaming, Premium price
The new iPod Touch ( 4th Generation) is one of the most power-packed PMP available today. It has super-sharp screen and cameras with one being HD-recording capable. It has excellent media playback quality, thousands of applications and download-able f...
Superb screen and CPU, Good battery life, Incredibly versatile, FaceTime video chatting
Cameras are crippled, Slightly expensive, Easily smudged and scratched
More importantly, the iPod Touch can now take advantage of the multitude of apps that require a built-in microphone and/or camera. The mic is inconveniently placed right next to the rear camera, but at least you no longer have to plug in a separate hea...
