iPods are encased in a white cocoon. It's like a musical burrito.

The touch had a sticker of the interface attached to it. Which is odd considering it's wrapped in a white shroud. Expect the sticker to appear in various Mac|Life pics in the future. Andy Ihnatko already found the perfect use for the sticker.

All the usual iPod condiments, including a rolled-up black cleaning cloth. 

Usual call for syncing. Can't wait to get our run on.

Prepare yourself for a full review of the new iPod touch on MacLife.com

Update: The touch is being synced right now. Once it's done, I'll post images of the interface.
