Apple's iPod touch has undergone a major upgrade. For starters the new iPod touch is thinner than before (7.2mm vs. 8.5mm). Apple has also added the Retina display that was so far exclusive to the iPhone 4. It has four times the resolution of the previous generation iPod touches. Apple has also put in their A4 processor, which first debuted on the iPad and then on the iPhone 4.
