Most everybody has heard of the iPod Touch, but not everybody knows exactly what the Touch can do. Many people mistakenly believe that the Touch is merely an iPod with a touch screen, but this could not be further from the truth. In fact, the iPod Touch is as close as consumers can get to a notebook computer that fits in their pocket. And the best part of this is that the Touch costs significantly less than a notebook computer. So for people who always want to have Internet connection, the iPod Touch might be just the device. The following discussion centers on the functions of an iPod Touch that make it similar to a computer.
The new iPod Touch is faster than older generations. The new Touch is available with up to 64GB. And in addition to having a large storage capacity, the new Touch is nearly 50 percent faster than older Touches. This means that it is quicker at opening applications and Web browsing. Much quicker than most smart phones, the Touch gives users unparalleled quickness.
The iPod Touch has amazing wireless capabilities. Anywhere that wireless networks are available, the Touch is able to pick up the Web. And the Touch is smart enough to remember passwords, so users will only have to enter passwords for each network one time.
The iPod Touch comes equipped with Safari. Safari is the same Web browser that is used by Mac and PC computers.

Web designs and Web pages will appear just as they do on computers when viewed on the Touch. Users must only connect to the Internet, and they will instantly be familiar with how to navigate the Web on their Touch.

The Touch automatically configures popular email account types, such as gmail, so set up is never a problem. Moreover, it recognizes all types of attachments so users will be able to open just about anything they receive in their inbox. Additionally, email appears just like it does on a computer when viewed on a Touch.
