Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards, then turn off Show Lowercase Keys.
Type on a larger onscreen keyboard
Rotate iPod touch to landscape orientation to use a larger keyboard for typing in many apps, including Mail, Safari, Messages, Notes, and Contacts.
For information about other ways to adjust the onscreen keyboard, see Set typing options.
Control iPod touch with an external keyboard
If you have difficulty using the touchscreen, you can control your iPod touch using shortcuts on Magic Keyboard (sold separately).
