Can anyone tell me what music was used in the video? It's extremely pretty piano music.
Yes it's beautiful isn't it! The song is Perpetuum Mobile by The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.
Got a tip for us?

Love that song too. It's called Perpetuum Mobile by Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Here's a link to the full song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E3znZoFnN8
Edit: Gahhh, just beaten to it!

New Tred in Apple Products
I think Apple is testing the idea of further distinguishing between its entry level and higher storage models.
Before, you had no choice but to pay $100 extra for more storage. But now, with the iCloud push and other third party storage solutions, I think Apple will start shaving off actual features from the 16 GB models, not just storage, to push people towards more expensive 32 and 64 GB models (their margins are much higher on those). I could be mistaken though.

Which has far less meaning to a iPod which is Wi-Fi and not Cell based. To use the cloud you need to be mindful of your Wi-Fi access.
Personally no camera = no sale. Also 16 GB is too small if your into audio books and like to keep most of them on hand instead of constantly re-syncing with a computer.
barkmonster has a point, for 70 bucks the functionality is (in Apple's world) is far better. You don't understand the lack of an outward facing camera until you don't have one.
Then why doesn't the iPod touch with the camera have one of these?
EDIT: Never mind, it does!
Quite possibly a 'test' product to gage market reaction before releasing the low-cost iPhone in a similar formfactor/color scheme, in addition to the before mentioned possible iOS7 compatibility issues. And judging by most of the above posts, a definite success!
I know, APPLE isn't known for doing market research to find out what people like, but as they have become the company they are now, they must have at least some worries about releasing products that turn out to be less than popular. Just good business sense.

He's right. It is the WiFi antenna and the iPod Touch with the Camera DOES have one. Just hit check out at the Apple Online Store.
I doubt it'll be this thin unless they sacrifice a lot of battery life or new battery tech develops. It could happen unexpectedly.
Would the iPhone also look more elegant without the "camera sticking out the back" ?

I would rather say minimalistic like in architecture instead of simplistic as it can be interpreted the wrong way. if someONE is simple, it means he/she has a disability. although you say it is beautiful and classic..
If you are on facebook, I'd imagine you are at least approaching the market for a phone. I"m talking younger.
One thing I don't like about iPhone/iPod touch designs is the thick bezel! If Apple would come up with edge to edge on a design like that it would be awsome!! But the home button takes too much space...
Thats exactly what I was thinking as I watched the video.
I want Apple to keep making products that are simple and beautiful. I'm not a big fan of the two-tone iPhone 5 design and I hope they revert to something more simple for the next iPhone.
Also, they need to get rid of the current iPod nano and make a much nicer product.
I wonder if the lower-cost iPhone will also serve as a replacement for the iPod touch line, then this iPod touch would simply be marketed as an iPod.
I was thinking the same thing. I like those volume buttons much better as well. I can never really adjust the volume by touch when the phone is in a case.
You are abolutely right. I recently surveyed 200 kids of all ages and they were all exactly the same.
I've said it before. One day I'll dump my iPhone then get one of these things and just velcro it to the backside of a crappy $19.99 Samsung no-contract cell phone. I'll then take the data plan savings and apply it to a beach house in Jamaica.
Kids do take a lot of Selfies though and the front side cam allows that.
Nice looking device. It really evokes the iPad Mini look.
