Today, millions of people who can not afford to buy an iPhone turn to the iPod Touch to get a similar experience. The fourth generation iPod Touch introduces front and rear-facing cameras, a Retina display, a thinner design, and iOS 4.1. Does Apple's music player stack up to the Android competition of today?
