With a music player from the stable of Apple, one in sure to expect a stylish device coupled with excellent audio quality. And goes without saying, the swank new iPod Touch with Dolby Digital Sound promises to be an object of owner's pride and borrower's delight. However, as far as the pocket is concerned, it will take some time for gizmo lovers to get in 'touch' with reality.

iPhone prefix

The product has been designed on the lines of the much-awaited iPhone, which tops the wishlist of most tech lovers. It gives a fair idea of the look and music capabilities of the high-end mobile set. The feather touch player is much smaller than the iPhone though it uses the same screen as that of the phone. Minus the phone specific features, most of the others remain intact in the media player. The multi-touch navigation makes the handling of the phone easier. Built-in wireless capability gives you access to iTunes, where you can buy songs at a click.

Oomphy look

The phone is quite a head turner, too. It comes with the signature iPod chrome logo on the back. However, the flipside of the piece is that it's quite prone to scratches.

Powerpacked

The portable appliance has a battery backup of 22 hours playback for audio, five hours for video and more than four hours of web browsing via WiFi. It can store upto 25,000 photos, which can be edited using several inbuilt softwares. You can even play slideshows and add music and transitions to it.
