time for a much requested unboxing the iPod Touch now I have a couple of them here because we bought various versions for various torture tests and I have to point out right away that I'm kind of in love with how the packaging has a little colored Apple depending on what color you buy like we got a red one and a green one and there's a blue one somewhere I think we already broke it but we're gonna unbox the black one the 32 gig model now the iPod Touch I wasn't that into it when it was announced but we got so much mail from you guys wanting to know if we would unbox it and specifically torture it I think because it's such a popular kids device that I went ahead turns out one of our producers is already in love with it even though I thought if you have an iPhone or an iPad why would you want it okay yeah I was wrong simple packaging of course just comes right open there's a sticker here I think the black is probably also called slate whatever it's actually really pretty it's kind of more of like a charcoal that's nice it has the matte back which makes the bezel look even smaller on the black one that's actually pretty fancy let's have a look at what's in the box pretty straightforward just your little Lightning charging cable no brick here no power brick just the cable and then of course your ear pods and then and I think this is wise and I think you'll see why when we do our torture test it comes with a little wrist strap right here and then watch this there's this like clever little thing on the back you pop it out like that slide your wrist strap on and give it to your kid cute all right let's go through the specs on this little guy the bad news about the iPod Touch I think is that it starts at $299 for the 32 gig model it's 399 for the 64 gig model which is kind of what everyone wants since this is basically a media player it runs iOS 6 it weighs 3 point 10 ounces it's just basically really small and light there's a 4 inch Retina display just like on the iPhone 5 it is an 11 36 by 640 pixel resolution it has Wi-Fi only no built in LTE because that would make it a phone it has bluetooth 4.0 there's that Lightning dock connector like I mentioned the touch loop there's a five megapixel rear facing camera that takes HD video and a front-facing HD camera that takes 1.2 megapixel photos performance wise it gets a dual-core a5 processor that replaces the last versions a4 so it should be plenty speedy for playing games which is another selling point for those who want this for their kids now no question the iPod Touch is a super nice device the screen is beautiful the size is wonderful it's just such a weird placement now it's $30 cheaper than the iPad Mini and it's not a phone like the iPhone but apparently I am wrong about these concerns because people are buying iPod Touches in droves I do admit it's a lot lighter and easier to carry than a tablet and the battery life is really good too so alright maybe you guys are right about this one
