Mp3 Players and Ipod Reviews

When looking at the iPod touch, you have a choice: you can either see it as an evolutionary leap for iPod, or a slight downgrade from iPhone. You gain a thinner shell, up to 16GB of storage, but lose a bunch of apps, the phone, and some other surprising things. In our opinion, it’s both the leap and the downgrade, and therein lies the rub.

The touch is a thing of beauty. It’s much skinnier than the iPhone (which, for those who haven’t held one, is the same depth as the old 30GB iPod Video), and it’s also a bit shorter and a hair wider, with dimensions of 4.3 by 2.4 by 0.3 inches. The touch weighs a manageable 4.2 ounces (compared with the iPhone’s 4.8 ounces). Are you going to slip this thing into your pocket? Depends. Cargo pants? Sure. Skinny jeans? No. The 3.5-inch multitouch widescreen has a resolution of 480-by-320, with 163 pixels per inch—identical to the iPhone’s

Adding Wi-Fi, remember this is like the iPhone but without the phone, you get to surf your favourite website, hopefully Pocket-lint, as well other sites out there all at the touch of a button and of course a Wi-Fi hotspot. The interface, identical to the iPhone, features the ability to zoom in and out of images with a pinch movement and in our brief play it was very easy to use and informative.

Apple Ipod Touch Review by SegaReviews “The iPod touch has only one dedicated button at its disposal, just as the iPhone, with one function to return to the main menu or in case screen deactivation is on, to activate the screen of the Apple iPod in combination with a sliding movement on the touch screen. The touch screen works flawless and fast. The main menu shows eleven icons, four of which are displayed for playing music, videos, pictures and iTunes. The remaining seven icons are for the Safari web browser, YouTube videos, agenda, contacts, clock, calculator and general settings. Furthermore the battery indicator is shown on the screen in the main menu.

Apple Ipod Touch Review by pocket int “It’s little surprise that Apple’s much touted, but thus far underwhelming, Cover Flow feature, finally makes sense to us now that we’ve seen it in action on the Touch. Go into the Touch’s music section, flip the device over on its side and — thanks to the built-in accelerometer — you’ll be presented with a selection of album covers, which you thumb through. The effect is ruined if most of your music is running around without album art but, such is sheer pull of Cover Flow, we spent hour upon hour updating our music library with the album art.
