iPod touchĪs you may recall, Apple last year released its fourth generation iPod touch- see my review-which provided basically the same innards as the then-current iPhone 4, including the A4 processor, the 960 x 640 "Retina" display, a 3-axis gyroscope, and dual cameras (less capable than those in the iPhone 4). That said, one might argue that the iOS 5 software ( see my review) and iCloud services that power the iPhone 4S and iPod touch are a big deal, as is the Siri voice control software for the 4S. This time the products aren't even evolutionary, from a hardware perspective, since nothing has changed at all. Partially because of outgoing CEO Steve Jobs' declining health, perhaps, Apple skipped its September music event for the first time in recent memory and instead discussed its "new" iPods at an October event that also saw the launch of the iPhone 4S. Generally speaking, the new iPod revisions would range from dramatic to evolutionary, depending on the year and the iPod model in question, and the iTunes update would be purely evolutionary, regardless of the version number. For the past several years in a row, every September, Apple held a music event at which it unveiled new versions of its dominant iPod music players and iTunes jukebox software.
