The iPod Touch is actually the world's most popular portable gaming device and it's also arguably the most gorgeous. It flaunts a so-called Retina display, similar to iPhone 4's, which packs 326 pixels per inch -- so dense that the human eye is unable to pinpoint individual pixels when the gadget is held at normal distance. But as much as its gorgeous, it's also powerful. The new Apple A4 chip provides the 4th Generation iPod Touch with exceptional processing power and graphics performance along with an extended battery life. This remarkably power-efficient and fast chip, combined with 3-axis gyro and the Retina display, makes iPod Touch an excellent multimedia device.
