(CNN) -- After tweaking the iPod media-player line last year, Apple is completely reworking the devices this year in what CEO Steve Jobs called their most thorough-ever overhaul.
"This year, we've gone wild," Jobs said at the company's annual music-heavy event in San Francisco, California. "It's the biggest change in the iPod lineup ever".
Topping the list of changes is the iPod Touch, which, based on Jobs' description, will be remarkably close to an iPhone 4 with no phone.
The new Touch will be thinner, with the same high-definition retina display as the iPhone 4, a front-facing camera that allows FaceTime video calling and a rear-mounted camera with HD video recording.
"It's also an iPhone without a contract," Jobs joked.
The Touch has become the most popular iPod and is also the world's most popular mobile video game device, he said.
The Touch will be available for $229 for an 8-gigabyte version, $299 for 32 gigabytes and $399 for the 64-gig model.
Jobs also unveiled a smaller version of the micro-sized iPod Shuffle, which combines several previous models to include control buttons and a voiceover tool to let users select playlists.
