Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Apple introduced iPod touch with a Multi-Touch interface, widescreen music and video playback, Cover Flow, photos, Safari, YouTube, and the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. Wi-Fi networking supplied its internet connection; this 1.1 branch was not an iPhone update.[1][2]

Apple’s announcement said the device would arrive later in September rather than naming a day. A contemporaneous TechCrunch report documents retail stock appearing on September 14, which matches the local Public milestone; that exact date therefore rests on observed availability, not a surviving Apple release-day statement.[3][4]
