Here the small comparison of two latest and currently available on market iPods. iPod 4 touch and iPod 5.
I hate when marketing departments of the companies try to heavily affect on every-bodies mind ensuring people that THIS device is “revolutionary super mega new stuff”. Extremely rotten approach which is the standard for our society. Anyway, they don’t what to do that, to give the clear and simple comparison with previous (already non-profitable products) somebody else like me will spend some time and dig-out this simple data for everybody. And this miserable comparison from Apple is not honest I know for sure that you saw pictures of the both, so I’ll paste only pure technical specifications.
