Where did you find that it was a stainless steel back and not a chrome back! I searched the website but couldn't find anything on that.
Got a tip for us?

http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/design/ The second paragraph says stainless steel. Also, there is no plastic area on he back. That was needed when chrome was used.
They don't mention evrything on an advert page.
You agree that stainless steel would not scratch exactly like the old chrome ones yes?
Then why does it seem to be on this?

I'm going to assume that came from the event itself. If so, then I misunderstood what they meant. I was very hopeful for aluminum (or anything for that matter) rather than chrome.
That would cost Apple more money.
anyway, are there any good cases for ipod touch 4?
Anyone know when these newbies will be stocked in stores? I know they're shipping 'next week' but does that mean they'll be on display in Apple Stores on monday?
Go into an Apple store on Wednesday. Everything will be there then. And about the use of better parts to get better audio quality, we son't know until a teardown in a week or two.
Question about iOS 4.2 announced yesterday (Ipod Touch related)
Steve Jobs said yesterday that iOS 4.2 is going to be released in November for the iPad........... I have to imagine the update is going to be for the iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch - all 3 devices (not just the iPad) - correct?
The feature that got me excited was the wireless printing over Wi-Fi capability - is that going to be just strictly for the iPad, or will I be able to use it with the Touch as well? For instance, say I'm looking at a web-page on my iPod Touch (4G) and want to send it to my printer on my wireless network and print the page, - with iOS 4.2, would I be able to do that with my iPod Touch?

Everything should get the update. Not everything can use all of the features though.

It says 'stainless steel' on the site even in Belgium.. And I ordered mine today !
64 gb..I'll be checking the usual suspect's websites daily (Speck, Incase, etc). I really don't want to wait too long before I cover up my new Touch.
I can assure you that it takes pictures because if u go to apple.com and go to ipod touch 4 section wait for the slides to go by and watch.. the slide where there is a girl on a bike and someone is shooting her with an ipod touch4 u can clearly see that there is a slider which changes from video mode to picture mode
Alas, I think it actually is chrome. Watch a facetime preview from Apple's site. Watch when the girl turns it over. The back looks like chrome.
This. It has never been chrome, always stainless steel. Shiny steel /= chrome. Chrome is a plating, you could scratch it off.
Wait. So the acutual body is made of stainless steel, and the chrome is like.... Paint?
This is a shocker. I'm almost tempted to scratch it off. But I like silicone, so I will cover it and save myself the trouble.
Well a little more sophisticated than paint. A thin layer of metallic chrome is uniformly applied to the metal part using a bath of plating solution. I think the part might look better without the chrome plating. It would look like a stainless steel appliance (e.g. refrigerator). More resistant to scratching than with the chrome plating, but prone to finger prints.
