1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
2. Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content.
3. Photo capacity is based on iPod-viewable photos transferred from iTunes.
4. Video capacity based on H.264 1.5-Mbps video at 640-by-480 resolution combined with 128-Kbps audio; actual capacity varies by content.
5. Internet access required; broadband recommended; fees may apply.
6. For iPod touch with Maps, the Maps application provides your approximate location using information based on your proximity to known Wi-Fi networks (when on and available). The more accurate the available information, the smaller the circle identifying your position on the map.  The feature is not available in all areas.  Known Wi-Fi networks are predominantly in urban areas.  In order to provide your location, data is collected in a form that does not personally identify you.  If you do not want such data collected, do not enable the feature. Not enabling the feature will not impact the functionality of your iPod touch.
7. iPod and iTunes are for legal or rightholder-authorized copying only. Don’t steal music.
8. Testing conducted by Apple in January 2008 using preproduction hardware and software. The playlist contained 358 unique audio tracks consisting of content imported from CDs using iTunes (128-Kbps AAC) and content purchased from the iTunes Store (128-Kbps AAC); all settings were default except that Ask to Join Networks was turned off. Video content was purchased from the iTunes Store; all settings were default except that Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off. Battery tests are conducted with specific iPod units; actual results may vary. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced (see www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/battery). Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.
