Customer Review: iPod Touch: A gift from the future.
Summary: 5 Stars
I hold this thing in my hands and just wonder how on earth this thing is here, now, and not stuck in some episode of Star Trek TNG. This thing, in contrast to previous attempts at "touch" media players, not only blows them out of the water, but blows the water around them to steam. And alot of people want to know whether to get this or the iPhone. Now, I have nothing against the iPhone, at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the second one comes with a transporter or food replicator or something, but there are those who want all the cool features of the iPhone, without the 300 page phone bill, and constantly having to pay through the nose just to keep that awesome gadget activated. Well, for those who want the iPhone, without the phone, but pretty much everything else, including internet, and wi-fi, then the iPod touch is so perfect, it's amazing. How amazing? Well at the moment I'm scanning over google maps to make sure that Apple doesn't have a Time Portal or Aliens running around their lots.
The interface of the iPod touch is essentially a slightly stripped down iPhone. But I imagine that was the idea. Sadly, they did strip down the nice clouded finish on the back which I loved so much on the iPhone, but apart from that and the obvious cosmetic differences between iPod and Phone, the multi-touch interface that everyone lusted over, is present and better than ever, and in this form, and I hate to say this, but I can finally say the iPod touch has blown Zune's brains out in a display of pure superiority. Sorry Microsoft, but as of now, you've lost the Portable Music/Video player war. Of course, you lost it a year ago, but I guess the iPod touch can be regarded as the final word on the subject. Game Over. Apple wins. iPod wins.
After exploring around the iPt a little bit, i noticed that this thing can truly be called a Pocket Computer.
Essentially, you get everything you need. Music, Videos, Internet, Youtube, and even potential for some games. When the 2G iPod Touch comes out, we'll probably treated to even more. But this is a great start.
The overall look of the touch is very sleek, and appealing. It's got the perfect balance of looks. Black, thin, shiny, and a screen that just won't get scratched. This ain't your 5G's polycarbonite "scratchfest" screen. This screen, not unlike the iPhone, can withstand quite a regiment of punishment. I personally haven't tried anything outside of the usual pocket/daily use regiment, but I've seen youtube videos where people run saftey pins, keys, even razor blades across it, with no noticable effect.I truly think the only thing that could put a dent in this thing is a Diamond or something. Maybe the screens made of Diamond....that would explain why this thing is so darn expensive! I jest, of course, but this screen is very scratchproof. Apple finally got that right.
Now, for those that are unfirmilliar with Apple's iPhone or the "Touch" generation of iPods, this iPod can play music and videos in 2 modes. Due to a motion sensor inside of it, it can detect whether it is straight up, or in landscape mode, and will adjust it's screen accordingly. This is perfect for movies.
Also, it comes in 2 "sizes"
8GB (This one) $299-- is the model for the person on a budget. The cheaper model, but thankfully, no feature is omitted. You can just put less on it. And the battery life seems shorter than the more high-end model.
16GB $399-- is the high end iPod touch with maximum storage and battery life in the "touch" series. whether the extra $100 is worth it, is up to you to decide. However, either way, you're getting one great media device!
Cover Flow, the ability to look at your album art, from the songs you purchase off of iTunes, is also available, as with all Next-Gen iPod models for 2007.
Goodies you get in the box are:
Cable to connect it to computer
Clear Plastic (little) Stand
Earphones
Cleaning Cloth
Booklets and Warranty
Dock Adapter
The iPod touch is a thing of beauty. If you can afford it, don't waste any more time dreaming about it. Buy it!
