The iPod 5 is a stunning new piece of technology currently priced at $229 for a 16 gigabyte model. The iPod 5 is amazingly fast and has a 4 inch retina display. There is 5 different color options pink, blue, gray, yellow, and black. This iPod touch is the thinnest and has the biggest screen of all iPod touch generations. It is charged by the new lightning adapter. It runs on the A5 chip and has the 5 megapixel iSight camera. One of the newer features that no IOS device has had before is the iPod touch loop which is a little disk that clicks in and out which you can put a little loop through that connects to a bracelet that you wear so if you drop it, it won't fall. My opinion is if you have the money and just want a IOS device to play around on go ahead and get this device. It's smart, colorful and worth the money.
