Firstly, as previously reported the iPod Touch is now $199 for 8GB and $299 for 32GB model. A new 64GB model has been revealed with the $399 price tag, which sports the speed of the iPhone 3GS and OpenGL ES. The Apple show focused particularly on the iPod Touch' sales; over 20 million since it was launched, making it the faster growing MP3 player. It's gaming features also got considerable attention today, with announcements of Madden NFL 2010 and Assassin's Creed 2 headed to the platform via the App Store.
Apple also took the time to make a bit of noise for the gaming industry, comparing the total number of games available for the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS and for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It touted that the PSP has 607 games available, the NDS has 3,680 games available, and the prices of the games for both platforms are easily higher than games sold at App Store. It then went on to point out that technically, 21,178 games are now available from the App Store.
The 64GB model is being advertised as being capable of storing 14,000 songs, 80 hours of video and 90,000 photos with a battery that can provide up to 30 hours of music listening or 6 hours of video viewing. All iPod touch models have Nike+iPod support built-in, are WiFi-capable and Bluetooth-equipped. iPod Touch 3.1 software is also now available.
