1. Meet the iPod: Out of the Box and Int... > Finger Moves for the iPod Touch
UNTIL THE TOUCH ARRIVED on the scene, iPods were controlled by a click wheel or control ring on the front of the player. The Nano has a limited version of the touch-sensitive screen, and the Shuffle and the Classic still use the circular dashboard. But with an iPod Touch, you don’t need a steering wheel to get around the iPod—you just tap the onscreen icons and menus to navigate.

Tap. Lightly touch a song title, app icon, or picture thumbnail on the screen with your fingertip. The Touch isn’t a crusty old calculator, so you don’t have to push down hard; a gentle tap on the glass starts a song, launches an app, or pops a picture into view.
