Ipod lovers will be pleased to hear that another iPod is being added to Apple’s group of popular music players and like the iPhone it will sport a touch screen. Not only that but the sleek and nifty gadget will actually have wi-fi and a web browser built in so that you can even buy music whilst on the go.

The iPod touch was unveiled at a press conference where Apple’s Steve Jobs demonstrated the features of the new device. Like the iPhone, it has a clear and efficient touch-screen and contains an in-built Safari browser, with easy access to sites such as YouTube and Google as well as iTunes. Owners will be able to use the wi-fi in places such as Starbucks; Apple has in fact made a deal with the coffee chain which enables free wi-fi access using the iPod in any of the cafes. As Steve Jobs exclaims proudly:

“It’s one of the seven wonders of the world - it’s just incredible.”

The iPod will come in two versions - 8GB and 16GB of memory - with the larger costing $399 in the US and the smaller $299. It will initially be released in anticipation of the holiday season by the end of September in the US and will be available in Europe shortly after. Prices in Europe have not yet been announced.
