The Review:
The iPod Touch is without a doubt the best iPod yet. With the iPod Touch you can not only listen to your music, but also browse the internet as long as you are connected to a wireless network while listening to your music. The multi-touch screen is absolutely amazing.
Whatever you would like to do simply tap the icon with your finger and you are on your way. If you are in the music section and turn the iPod Touch horizontally it will completely change how you are used to browsing your music. You will be taken from the typical sort by song, artist or album into coverflow which allows you to flip through all your music by the covers of each album. Once you find an album you want to see the songs for tap the album and it will flip over and display the tracks and tap a track to begin playing that song or tap the cover again to return to browsing.
Watching videos is very enjoyable on the iPod Touch as the screen is 3.5 inches so it is quite a bit bigger than those of the traditional iPods and has a higher resolution. You browse your videos in the vertical position and once you select a video it will start playing horizontally on the screen. The same holds true for watching videos from YouTube. Except that you will go into the YouTube option rather than the Video.
You may also sync Photos to your iPod Touch for your viewing pleasure or to just change up your wallpaper once in a while. The iPod Touch will sync with iCal. Though you can not add or edit events on the iPod Touch for the Calendar. The iPod Touch also allows you to sync with your Address Book. Unlike the Calendar application you can edit and add new contacts on the iPod Touch and they will sync to your computer the next time you connect the iPod Touch.
The iPod Touch also introduces a new way to add songs to your collection without having to be at your computer. The iTunes Wireless Store allows you to browse, preview and download new music to your iPod Touch and then the next time you connect to your computer the newly downloaded songs will be added to your library on your computer. This is a great way to pick up new songs as you can do it anywhere you can pick up a wireless network.
Overall the iPod Touch is an amazing device which will surely revolutionize the MP3 player market. There are a few drawbacks to the iPod Touch however, the fact that the Mail application that is on the iPhone was not included and you can not add or edit events in the Calendar. Both would round out the already great use and functionality of the iPod Touch. I have also come across a few instances where I was listening to music while browsing the internet and the music would just cut out at times. For more information or to purchase the iPod Touch please visit the link below. The iPod Touch comes in two configurations 8GB for $299 or 16GB for $399. Both prices are reasonable due to how functional the iPod Touch is.
