Apple co-founder, CEO and man-who-can-do-no-wrong-for-the-moment Steve Jobs has introduced new versions of every product in the company's iPod music and video line, including a new iPhone-like touchscreen music and video player that has a full Internet browser and the capacity to download music.
At 8 millimeters thick, the touchscreen iPod is thinner than the iPhone but has a similar set of controls that allow consumers to use the heat of their fingers to flip through songs or albums to choose what to play. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi wireless capability that could be used to download music.

The iPod touchscreen also adds a Safari Web browser connection that allows users to connect to the Internet. Google and Yahoo search services, plus YouTube videos, are built in to the Web browser. The new iPod touch is scheduled to be available later this month and comes with an RRP of $419 for the 8GB iPod touch model and $549 for the 16GB iPod model.
