Apple's hotly anticipated event covered a wide range of new products and, as we predicted here at Pocket-lint, not only did Steve Jobs take to the stage wearing his black crew neck and New Balance footwear combo, but Apple also announced an updated version of the iPod touch.
But, is it worthy of your hand-earned cash? And if you've already got an iPod touch, is it worth upgrading? Read on to find out.
The rear facing camera is not much of a stills operator though. While you can use it record a very impressive 720p HD video at 30fps, the stills only come in at 960x640 which is equivalent to 0.6 megapixels. You're probably best off extracting the shots from video in post production. The front facing glasswear is up to VGA levels for both FaceTime chats and single snaps.

Conclusion
Well, there's no two ways about it, there's barely even one - the iPod touch 4th generation is just much, much better than the 3rd generation unit. Despite still being a decent device in its own right, it just looks like an old duffer next to the younger model. The 4G is thinner, lighter, more powerful, it has a far, far better screen and it's now become a camera and camcorder as well. Just stop reading and start saving your money. Sorry but that's just a year in technology for you.By Libby Plummer
