I am a great Music lover and this iPod has been one of my best friend. It's stunningly thin which has contoured enclosure made of polished stainless steel. Not only it let's you play your "you created playlist", it allows you to use Genius playlist which is even more powerful than the earlier versions. All you have to do is sync iPod touch to iTunes, and Genius automatically searches your library and finds songs that sound great together. Then it creates multiple mixes you'll love. These mixes are like channels programmed entirely with your music. Say you're listening to a song on your iPod touch that you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. Just tap the Genius icon. Genius automatically finds songs on your iPod touch that go great with your selected song and makes a Genius playlist for you. You listen to music, and now your music listens to you. Isn't it awesome!!!

Following are it's features

Music
Music on iPod touch not only sounds amazing, it looks amazing, too.

Touch Your Music
it's all Tap, Tap and Tap. Meaning...screen touch facility of this iPod Touch let's you play, pause, shuffle the music with one touch. Remember! you are just a flick away from playing your favorite songs from your iPod Touch.

A Musical Genius
Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The new Genius feature finds the songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn't have thought of yourself.

Fill It Up
Well, what i basically do with my iPod is FILL IT UP with audios and videos. It offers a considerable amount of storage and filling it up is the only choice you are left with. All you have to do is choose the playlists, videos, and other content you want to sync, and iTunes does the rest.

Movies and TV Shows
Movies and TV shows have never looked this good on a portable device.

Everything's a Must-see
Carry hours of video with you, and watch it on a crisp, clear 3.5-inch widescreen color display.

In Control
While watching your video, tap the display to bring up the onscreen controls. You can play/pause, view by chapter, and adjust the volume. You also can use the new volume controls on the left side of iPod touch. Want to switch between widescreen and full screen? Simply tap the display twice.

Sync and Go
With iTunes on your Mac or PC, you can sit at your computer and choose the movies and TV shows you want to sync to your iPod touch.

Games
With its groundbreaking technologies, iPod touch puts an amazing gaming experience in the palm of your hand. I do have "Chess", "Street Fighter IV", "Angry Birds", "Fruit Ninja" just some to mention in my iPod and i really enjoy playing them, especially when i am to escape the boring lectures in college.

Fingertip Control
Many games for iPod touch use Multi-Touch to give you precise, fingertip control over game elements. It's really fun use fingers to drag the pieces around the board in chess or dice games or pinch to enlarge or shrink the view, rotate the character left or right, or just tap to make a selection.

Tilt, Turn, and Go
The built-in accelerometer actually responds to your movements, so you can tilt and turn your iPod touch to control the action. It's perfect for racing games like "Need for Speed", "Asphalt"--where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel--and for tap-and-tilt games like "Super Monkey Ball" in which your character rolls to your movements.

The App Store
Even if games aren't your thing, there's an iPod touch application for you. Thousands of applications in almost every category--entertainment, social networking, sports, photography, reference, and travel--are a tap away at the App Store.
