Before I get into this hands on review, let me start out by stating that I have been on my seat patiently waiting for the launch of the iPod touch. Arrive it has, and not a moment too soon. I own a prior version of an iPod product, but I still have a dilemma of more gadgets to carry around with me than I wish for. The touch solves all this and a whole lot more.
I purchased the iPod touch 16GB and, I have to state, this thing is exceptional! The exciting and innovative features with the new Apple touch permits you to watch a video, listen to music, and browse the internet with the gliding of a finger. Everything you need when you are on the road. The stress of lugging around several gadgets is a task of the past.
Tunes on the iPod touch not only sound excellent, but it looks very snazzy as well. You can navigate through your music with the new feature called Coverflow. This option makes browsing simple so that you don't have to waste a lot of time attempting to locate your top songs, movies, or TV programs.
The 3.5 inch screen makes it excellent for viewing movies and videos. You can view movies in the landscape mode, or watch in wide screen. The touch screen makes watching videos on the iPod touch a true pleasure. No more working your eyes to death to watch a video!
Probably the top feature of the new Apple iPod touch is that you can browse the internet. With built in wi-fi and the safari web browser, you can surf your favorite web sites, just like you would on your computer. Again, utilizing the touch screen, you can navigate the different web pages using bookmarks or the on-screen touch pad. You can also zoom in on a specific part of the page with just a touch of the finger.
Managing and viewing your photos couldn't be easier on the new iPod touch. Photos jump out on the bigger display. With a touch of the finger, you can bring up images in full screen clicking and dragging your finger to move to the next picture or to zoom in. You can also set up a slide show with ease, adding music and transitions to make it really cool.
One would think that a device with all these features would be extremely difficult to use. But that is not the case with this iPod. Everything is straight forward and nicely laid out. So simple to use, you'll wonder how you got along without it.
