Definition:

1st Generation iPod touch - The first generation iPod touch is best described as an iPhone without the phone features. It has the same basic design, includes a large touchscreen, offers WiFi Internet connectivity, and iPod features including music and video playback, wireless music purchases from the iTunes Store, and CoverFlow browsing.

Its chief differences from the iPhone are the lack of phone features, digital camera, and GPS, and a smaller, lighter body.
