The first iPod touch went on general sale on September 14, 2007, nine days after Steve Jobs unveiled it at Apple’s « The Beat Goes On » media event. The device brought the iPhone’s multi-touch interface, Wi-Fi, and Safari browser to the iPod lineup for the first time, but it lacked cellular phone functionality and a camera.

iPod touch launched at $299 for 8GB and $399 for 16GB, and was pitched as a pocket-sized way to browse the web and buy music wirelessly through the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. It went on to see seven generations, before Apple discontinued it in 2022.
