Multi-Touch screen
The Multi-Touch screen displays a wealth of info, entertainment, and creativity, all at your
ngertips. A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch—are all you need to explore and
use iPod touch apps.
Buttons
Most of the buttons you use with iPod touch are virtual ones on the touchscreen. A few physical
buttons control basic functions, such as turning on iPod touch or adjusting the volume.

iPod touch, and receive FaceTime calls, text messages, alarms, notications, and other updates.
