The iPod Touch is the latest generation in Apple’s iPod line which was first launched in 2001 (Pymm & Crispin, 2009). The design of the iPod Touch is radically different from other iPod models (Auchincloss & McIntyre, 2008). There are not any physical buttons and the screen is a touch sensitive video display (Auchincloss & McIntyre, 2008). This handheld computer is able to play and record audio, images, and video (Banister, 2010). The iPod Touch is similar to the iPhone in its operation and function but less powerful (Ricci, 2011).
The iPod is a popular mobile learning technology (Pymm & Crispin, 2009). Mobile learning provides students and teachers with new innovative methods for learning and teaching (Crompton & Keane, 2012). Min, Cesar, and Wivagg (2014) described the importance of Mobile technology like iPods, ``Emerging mobile technology is having a transformative impact on how people live, learn, work, and play`` (p.115).
One unique credit to the iPod is its ability to appeal to both genders (Pymm & Crispin, 2009). The iPod has become an icon of popular culture (Pymm & Crispin, 2009).
