Newsstand, Calendar, Contacts, Stocks, Notes, Weather, and Calculator. What, you thought iPod touch was all fun and games?
Newsstand
iOS 5 organizes your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions in Newsstand. It lets you access your favorite publications quickly and easily. Tap the Store button to shop for more. New purchases go directly to Newsstand. And when new issues become available, Newsstand automatically updates them in the background — complete with the latest covers.
Calendar
Between the team’s game schedule, school events, and your regular, everyday life, you have a lot going on. Calendar helps you keep track of it all. View the week ahead of you. Create new events with a tap. Or share them with friends and family with iCloud. iCloud also keeps your calendar in sync on your iOS 5 devices and Mac or PC.*
Contacts
Put names, email addresses, phone numbers, and more at your fingertips. Add new contacts to your iPod touch and iCloud makes sure they’re on all your other devices, too. Enter the name and number of the cute guy you met into Contacts on your iPod touch, and his info is automatically sent to your computer and your iPad.
Stocks
Lucky for you (and the budding broker within), iPod touch comes with a Stocks app. It shows you charts, financial details, and headline news for any stock you choose.
Notes
Forget pen and paper. Or worse, pen and the palm of your hand. Use Notes on iPod touch to write yourself a quick note and keep important information within reach. Send notes to yourself or others via email. With iCloud, you can create or edit a note on iPod touch, and it automatically updates on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
Weather
Shorts or jeans? Jacket or no jacket? Tap the Weather app to check the six-day forecast for your hometown. Or check the weather anywhere else in the world.
Calculator
Calculator on iPod touch does double duty. In portrait view, you can use Calculator for simple calculations. Rotate iPod touch to landscape, and it becomes a sophisticated scientific calculator.
