The new model is as close to "an iPhone without the phone" as we've seen, gaining a Retina display, the microphone, two cameras--one on front and one on the back--and a few other features we'll get to below. It's a little bit sleeker than the last generation, measuring 4.4 inches tall, 2.3 inches wide, and 0.28 inches thick (compared to 4.3, 2.4, and 0.3 inches, respectively, for the previous model). It's also a little bit lighter: 3.6 ounces compared to 4.1.

As with the front-facing camera on the iPhone 4, the iPod touch's front camera promises "VGA quality"--that means a resolution of 640 by 480. The rear camera shoots 720p video up to 30 frames per second and captures still photos at the same resolution (960 by 720, or seven-tenths of a megapixel), far lower than that offered by the 5-megapixel rear camera on the iPhone 4.

Sorry, no.
