White iPod Touch 2011 Price, Complete Specs, Availability

There are practically only two things that make this year's iPod Touch refresh different from last year's release:

1. It runs iOS 5 right out of the box.
2. It comes in White.

So I hope you understand if I tell you that I'm not all that comfortable calling it a 'next generation' device. I mean, come on. It's practically the same iPod Touch that The Late Great Steve Jobs introduced last year. (TP Friends, if you remember, I was so amazed with iPod Touch 4G and Steve Jobs' Keynote last year, I actually got one from Power Mac Center. I know. How time flies.)

Anyway, I still think the device looks amazing - it's very thin but it's made of glass and metal making it quite durable - and specs are OK too. (Scroll down to see the full technical specifications table.)

Quoting Steve Jobs himself, "iPod Touch is an iPhone without the phone." So if you're on a tight budget and you want to experience some of the benefits of owning an iPhone, then you might want to start with an iPod Touch.
