Does the ipod touch 4th gen's screen have IPS like the iphone 4's?

So I heard somewhere that the ipod touch 4g's screen does NOT have IPS.
For those who don't know what IPS is, this is apples description of it:
"The iPhone 4 Retina display uses technology called IPS (in-plane switching) — the same technology used in the Apple LED Cinema Display and iPad — to achieve a wider viewing angle than on typical LCDs. Which means you can hold iPhone 4 almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture. That’s perfect when you’re sharing photos with a friend or moving your iPhone around while playing a driving or flying game. In addition, the Retina display offers four times the contrast ratio of previous models, so whites are brighter, blacks are darker, and everything is more beautiful."
Is this true? Because I also heard that the two main things people wanted from the ipod touch were the camera and the retina display. And those are the only two things that seemed to get cheaply upgraded. Does anybody know if the ipod touch 4g has IPS?

No need to double post! It has been said by Engadget that it is TN, but Apple has not to my knowledge released the specs. Only difference between TN and IPS is the viewing angle. A few hands on reviews that I seen said there was no distinguishable differences between their iPhone 4's and the iPod Touch 4 with the exception of the viewing angle.
I am amazed at how people will latch on to this stuff and make an issue about it, yet have never actually seen the freaking thing! LOL Just like no one has seen photos taking with the camera.
The iPod Touch 4 IS what it IS, folks will either buy it or not. I am booking that a lot that say they aren't going to buy it do anyway and of course this thing is going to be a big seller regardless of all these supposed poor upgrades.

    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.

    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why is the iPod Touch (4th Gen) missing the video setting for TV Out?

    Has anyone else noticed that in the iPod Touch (4th Gen) that there isn't a video setting for TV Out? It's not on the new iPhone either. I wanted to attach an AV Composite cord from my iPod to my TV. It won't work because of the missing video setting. You would think that since this is new technology, it would have that setting. After all, my iPod from 2005 has that feature and works just fine with the $39 AV Compostie cable from Apple. I was hoping to display what I have on my iPod Touch to my TV, but discovered that I couldn't. When I called Apple, they thought at first I had a defective cable. But later told me that i OS 5 left out the video out feature as if by mistake. Could anyone elaborate on this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

    I am well aware that setting was on the iPod before iOS 5! My question is why is it missing? Because right now, Apple is selling the AV Composite cable claiming it's compatible with the iPod Touch (4th Gen) and it's not. Thank you!
