Abstract
Apple’s iPod Touch is a personal digital device, essentially a version of the popular iPhone, but without telephone capabilities. Although not designed expressly for education, software has been developed for the device for mathematical and educational purposes, while some of its other capabilities (such as those for podcasts, videos and the Internet) can be used for mathematics education. This paper provides an analysis and evaluation of some of these various opportunities for 21st century mathematics education. While some elements of the iPod Touch offer attractions for mathematics education, some educational limitations are also identified.
