But if it has safari and WiFi, you CAN get mail on your iPod Touch!
Since you can access the 'entire internet" on the iPod touch, you can log on to any e-mail client on the web and get your e-mail. This is especially good for those with a work e-mail on a Microsoft Exchange Server who will be able to log in and receive and respond to mail! Any comments?
iPhoneAtlas compiled a list of differences between the new iPod Touch and the current iPhone.
Amongst the differences:
- No Email, Maps, Stocks, Weather, or Camera in the iPod Touch
- Double tapping the iPod Touch's Home button twice when it is sleeping brings up touch controls to control your music
- iPod Touch has separate Contacts app and separate Video app. On the iPhone, Contacts is built into the Phone function and Video built into the iPod function.
- No Microphone or Speaker on the iPod Touch
- Headphone jack on bottom of iPod Touch and is not recessed (unlike the iPhone)
Apple has posted a guided tour video detailing the functions of the iPod Touch.
Apple is expected to release an iPhone update to add Wi-Fi iTunes song purchases to the iPhone. The "double tap" Home button functionality detailed above could also easily be added in software to a future iPhone update.
