That would be awesome! Even with the finger print prone....ness. Better than scratch prone.
I wanna see how it would look without the chrome.... Layer.

There is no chrome layer. Only polished steel. That is why it scratches so easily.
EDIT: "Looks can be amazing.
iPod touch has an all-new design that makes it the thinnest, lightest, most amazing iPod touch ever. Holding one is all the proof you need. With its curved design, iPod touch is now a mere 7.2 millimeters thin. Its engineered glass front and stainless steel back feel sleek and smooth in your hand. Turn it on, and you're instantly blown away by the brilliant Retina display. iPod touch is the perfect combination of stunning design and revolutionary technology — brilliant from the outside in."

I'm so confused!
Steel appliances have the "brushed steel" finish, while the iPod's back is polished (probably by hand) un cotton wheels until it shines. There is no need for chrome to make it shiny.
And moreover, my iPod's back produces reflections that are slightly darker than the chrome on my father's '69 Volvo (which has real chrome, I'm 100% sure, it was common back then).
iPhone 4 case for the iPod touch 4? Would it fit?
I would've loved an iPhone 4 look too, it feels good when you hold it.Oh wait.. lewis82 already mentioned it.Apple said:
Ok, ok. I wasn't sure because almost everybody is stating that they use chrome.
The back is chrome. I got my ipod a couple days ago and since there is no cases out for it yet (iphone cases are too big for it), I already some smudges and a few small scratches on the back of it and I've been taking REALLY good care of it! It is definitely just like the third, second, and first gen's back.
The first, second, and third gen backs were NOT, I repeat, NOT chrome.
Shiny is not necessarily chrome. It has always been polished steel.
The backs WERE, I repeat, WERE chrome.
The backs are stainless steel but they are chrome-plated. So they essentially ARE chrome because thats what is on the outside. People don't care what's on the inside, unless it it's properties are on the outside.
This is a really old thread.
Plus, this thread went up to right around the release, and probably started a few months before.
I was just reviewing the new iPhone's innovations. I think a lot of these iPhone innovations definetly rub off on the Ipod Touch 4G. Such as:
Camera, definetly
Maybe facetime
Multi Tasking
Better Res, maybe not HD, but better
App Folders
Ability to change your springboard
Reintroduction of 16gb storage capacity
Just Maybe
Back Camera might get an upgrade...
FaceTime camera is the same for the iPod Touch 4 and iPhone 4
Both can multitask
Both have app folders
Both can change the springboard (wallpaper behind apps)
Reintroduction may or may not happened (iPod Touch gets 2 flash sticks, iPhone only gets 1)
Resolution is the same, but without IPS. Perhaps they might add IPS.
