Even with 10 apps, make sure none of them is containing lots of documents (e.g., an eBook or comic book reader).

Or download iExplorer (free for file system access) and browse through the content of your device.

Also, you can try this:

  • Connect your device to the computer.
  • Open iTunes and select it.
  • Go to the Applications tab.
  • Scroll down to the Share Files section and.
  • Select every app one by one and see what documents can be transferred to your computer (you'll be able to check its size).

I don't think it's a good idea to use iExplorer to delete files. It doesn't try to be a Clean My Mac for iOS devices. I mentioned iExplorer so that you can browse and see what is taking a lot of space. Do it via your iPod Touch. If it's not possible, then it's probably a system file you shouldn't delete. – msoler Dec 1 '12 at 17:25

See this and this. And go to your device Settings->General->Information and see if it shows a different amount of available space compared to what it shows in iTunes. – msoler Dec 1 '12 at 17:34
