How to Transfer Itouch Apps
The iPod Touch doesn't have the storage capacity of the iPod Classic -- 8GB, 32GB and 64GB versus 160GB -- and it isn't as compact as the iPod Nano -- 4.3 inches long, 2.4 inches wide and .33 inches deep versus 3.6 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and .24 inches deep. But what makes the Touch stand out from those iPod models are the apps that it can run -- at the touch of a finger you can access recipes, stock quotes and virtually anything else you can imagine. Those apps can be downloaded through iTunes on a computer or on the iPod Touch itself and then be transferred between computer and iPod Touch.
