The new 4th generation Apple iPod touch 8 GB is Apple's latest iPod and comes with many new features and capabilities. It also has a 15% larger battery which allows you to listen to 40 hours of music or watch 7 hours of video on a single charge. Here are some of the top features and apps for you to enjoy:

Music

One of the best features is the Genius mixes and playlists. Through Genius, you can choose a song you like and Genius will select a playlist from your library that complements your original choice.

You can listen to your playlist, save it for later or have Genius select another playlist based on that song.
Another cool feature is the Shake to Shuffle, which lets you switch to a new song in your library by simply shaking your iPod.

This allows for quick and easy shuffling between songs.

You can also buy and download iTunes songs from any Wi-Fi enabled location, and use iTunes Ping to follow your friend's music choices to get ideas for great new music.

Photos and Video

The new iPod comes with not one, but two cameras, one in the front for close up shots and one in the back for more distant wide angle pics.

It lets you record and edit videos, add music or still pictures to your videos and upload your movies directly to YouTube, Facebook or your own personal website.

Games

You can play social games on your iPod by signing up for the new Game Center app.

This allows you to sign in with your Apple ID and assign your email addresses to the Game Center under one nickname and compete with your friends at different games, or bring them onboard as partners for multi-player and quest games.

Movies

You can download movies or TV shows to watch in HD on the 3.5 inch color widescreen Retina display. You can play, pause, or switch to different scenes with a tap of the display.

You can buy movies and TV shows through iTunes or even rent them for a minimal fee.

With the iPod touch 8GB (4th generation), you have your own personal entertainment center, with music, videos or games at your fingertips.
