iPod touch customers already have the most advanced mobile web browser in the world with Safari, claims Apple and now the company is adding five more new mobile applications—Mail, Maps, Stocks, Weather and Notes. The iPod touch software upgrade also includes new features such as Web Clips, a customizable home screen and beginning today, the ability to watch iTunes Movie Rentals.
"These amazing new mobile applications make iPod touch not only the best iPod, but the best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "With its revolutionary touch interface and software, plus its stunning 3.5 inch screen, iPod touch is evolving into the first mainstream Wi-Fi mobile platform of the 21st century."
