The new Apple iPod Touch will probably sell like hot pancakes because of its new features such as: FaceTime, retina display, HD video recording, and the Game Center. It also makes use of the Apple A4 chip. This is the same chip that’s being used in the iPhone 4. These new features remind me of the iPhone 4. Thus, the new Apple iPod Touch is like an Apple iPhone 4 minus the phone features. However, taking photos with it are said to be not as good as the iPhone 4. According to CrunchGear, it can only take photos at a 960×720 resolution which is weird because it can take HD videos at 720p.
