Apple iPod Touch Review

The Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation) is the latest in the line of famous touch screen iPod MP3 players.

iPod Classic Vs iPod Touch

According to Apple, the iPod touch is more than an MP3 music player - it is a portable computer and games player rolled into one. This is what sets the Touch apart from the traditional iPod. The Touch also brings users into contact with a huge variety of ‘Apps’ that can perform pretty much any function under the sun. They include games, educational apps, lifestyle and more!

Pros of the Apple iPod Touch

The 3rd generation iPod touch is designed with faster performance in mind. As with any other of the iPod models, it comes in a fantastic sleek and trendy design, with a high quality screen and good sound quality that will support a wide variety of formats.

When compared to previous incarnations of the iPod, this model features a much larger RAM, loads faster, includes larger storage for a similar price, and comes with new earphones that include a remote and microphone in-built.

Voice control is particularly useful for people who like to use their iPod when they’re busy doing other things, as it allows you to control the music with your voice alone. Simple commands such as ‘shuffle’ will make sure the player does exactly what you need.

Cons of the Apple iPod Touch

For users who already have the second generation iPod touch, they may not experience a noticeable enough difference to justify the added expense of buying a new version. For this reason, it is not generally worth upgrading unless you use a number of intensive applications that would particularly benefit from the faster loading time.

The iPod Touch is also more costly than the iPod classic, but can be more cost effective for those who have a need for a more all-encompassing solution with its variety of apps.

Lastly, the third generation was widely expected to have a camera but did not deliver.

Conclusion

For those who have never owned an iPod before, you really can’t beat the design and features included in the iPod Touch. Some may opt for the smaller version - iPod Nano - though truthfully the Touch is sleek enough to carry around wherever you want.
