Messages with iMessage

Free text messaging.
Yep, free.

Now you can send text messages from iPod touch to any other iOS 5 device over Wi-Fi. Text a little. Text a lot. Text as much as your thumbs can handle. It's unlimited. And it's free.

Unlimited texts means no detail spared.

You and your best friend text each other all the time. Even when she's sitting right next to you. With the Messages app on iPod touch, you can text any iOS 5 device using iMessage. It's free and unlimited. You can even send photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Everything happens over Wi-Fi. Your messages are securely encrypted. And if you have more than one iOS device, iMessage keeps the conversation going across all of them.

Just between you and me. And them.

Text one-on-one or send one for all. Group messages let you keep multiple friends in the loop. Give your study group a heads-up about where you're sitting in the library, tell the family you're running late, or plan a meet-up with your blogging circle. Just add multiple recipients in the To field and let the chatter begin.

Get the message?

It can be nerve-racking not knowing if your text was read or even received. Happily, that's a nonissue with iMessage. It lets you know if your text went through. And if your friend has read receipts enabled, you'll see that your message was read. No matter how heavy or light the conversation is, you'll always know when your friend is in the middle of a reply because iMessage shows you. That's comforting for all you impatient types.

Camera with HD Video Recording

Ready, and action.

The next great Internet meme could be yours. iPod touch and its HD video camera go with you everywhere, so you can capture every "What the?" moment that comes your way.

Trim a little off the ends. Or the middle.

No need to wait until you're back at your computer to edit video. With basic editing built into iPod touch, you can get right down to business. Just drag to select start and end points on a filmstrip. Keep only the parts of the video you want, and turn it into something you and your friends will watch again and again.

Special guest star: iMovie.

You're on an epic road trip, and you want to create a video postcard of everything you've seen and done. Just use the iMovie app - pick it up on the App Store for just $4.99. Built for Multi-Touch, iMovie lets you combine and edit video clips, give them that extra something with dynamic themes, add music and photos, and share your finished movies with the world.

This is so going on YouTube.

Maybe you're in the middle of texting a friend or browsing the web when you look up and suddenly see something that words just can't describe. Launch the camera and record on the fly. Then upload your HD movie directly to YouTube. Or select some video from the Camera Roll and attach it to a new email message, ready to send. Posting to your Facebook page or blog is also just a tap away.

Two cameras. Countless photo ops.

A really cool piece of graffiti art. A cupcake too cute to eat. Your cat camouflaged by stuffed animals. If you want to take a quick photo to post on Twitter, either camera on iPod touch can also capture stills. Use grid lines, pinch-to-zoom gestures, and single-tap exposure lock to compose the perfect shot. Then tap to tweet at will.
