HD video recording
iPod touch features a second camera on the back, which lets you shoot amazing 720p HD video.

Retina display
There are lots of reasons you won't want to take your eyes off iPod touch. The 960x640 backlit LCD display, for one. It packs 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution iPod screen ever. Text is remarkably sharp and graphics are incredibly vivid.

AirPlay
Stream music and photos wirelessly to an HDTV and speakers. A feature called AirPlay makes it happen. It works with AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network.
