The iPod family gained a new member on Wednesday during Apple's "The Beat Goes On" media event. The newest iPod, called iPod touch, looks like the iPhone and sports many of the same features including Wi-Fi wireless networking.
The iPod touch is 8mm thick, includes a multi-touch interface, a 3.5-inch wide-screen display, and 802.11b/g wireless networking built in. It also includes Calendar and Contacts applications, World Clock, Calculator, and the Safari Web browser. iPod touch also includes Google Search and Yahoo! oneSearch.

Thanks to its Wi-Fi support, iPod touch can take advantage of Apple's new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store to download music when away from your computer. When in range of a Starbucks coffee shop, a new icon will automatically appear that lets users purchase the song that is currently playing in the store along with the ten most recently played songs.
