New Apple iPod Touch Specifications and Features

September 10, 2008 · Filed Under iPod

Apple is on a roll with its new products like the New iPod Nano-Chromatic (8Gb and 16Gb), iPhone 3G and now, the iPod Touch. Specifications and features of these gadgets are really fantastic but not perfect. They have flaws too like the iPhone 3G’s vulnerability, among others. I just wish all of these gadgets are already available in the Philippines so I can avoid placing orders on Ebay for a New iPod Touch. The prices of New iPod Touch starts at $299. In the Philippines, that would cost around Php 13,200 minimum. But when it hits the stores in the Philippines, I suspect they would cost between Php 15000-20000.
