iPod touch 5G hands on review
iPod Touch 5G – design and build
The new iPod Touch 5G is – surprise surprise – the thinnest and lightest iPod Touch to have exited the gates of Cupertino so far. Its gorgeously sleek anodised aluminium body is a joy to hold and takes a page out of the Nokia Lumia 920's book, arriving in a cavalcade of bright colours. All of them look tasty enough to lick (though we sadly didn't indulge ourselves).
You won't need super-vision to notice that Apple's new Lightning dock connector (which also graces the iPhone 5 and iPod Nano 7G) is present and accounted for at the bottom of the iPod Touch 5G as well. And as for that odd disc on the bottom left...
Read our in depth iPhone 5 review.
iPod Touch 5G – iPod Touch Loop
Pressing in the mysterious circle will pop up a little disc that lets you connect the colour-coded Loop accessory. This handy little lanyard will enable klutzy iPod Touch 5G users to trip, wobble and dance their way throughout the day without having to worry about dropping their shiny slab of metal. It's a rather odd and surprising feature that some people might find handy when taking pictures with the in-built 5MP iSight camera.
iPod Touch 5G – screen
The new iPod Touch 5G shares the same impressive 4in Retina Display as the iPhone 5, treating our eyes to the same crystal clear icons and punchier colours. The extra real estate is very welcome and will compliment A5-powered games and the new Siri rather nicely.
Stay tuned for a full Stuff review of the new iPod Touch 5G – and check out out our iPhone 5 hands on review.

"and takes a page out of the Nokia Lumia 920's book, arriving in a cavalcade of bright colours."
You think? Apple made iPods in myriad colours MANY years before Nokia even thought of the Lumia, so I doubt it was inspired by Nokia; you could say that it was inspired by Vauxhall, who make cars in different colours, or inspired by skittles, who make MANY colours of their sickly sweets! :-P
It's more likely to be that this is simply a logical progression... and one that I kinda hoped would be the case with this generation! :D
God bless you, thanks :)

Although I don’t buy products I don’t need because of their color, the orange is my favorite of them all. I however do need a new iPod since mine is a 3G and I can’t get iOS 6. Siri and maps would be an added benefit to me. My DISH coworker has a new iPod 5G, which got me thinking about getting a new one. The increased processing power on the 5G model would be great for when I use my DISH Remote Access App for watching TV too. It’s sweet because I have my shows recorded on my DVR and use my DISH Sling Adapter to send the shows to my iPod so I can watch whenever I want to, like when I take the light rail to work.
