Apple iPod Touch Screen 16 GB Review

If you're a gadget gizmo freak, and you must have it all, the Apple

iPod Touch 16 GB is a must get. Here's why: Apple has just

offered you a second generation version that gives more

value for your money. Simply put, it's a great iPhone, but

doesn't come with "phone" part, but has everything else that

you will get on an iPhone and for a very favourable price.

It's fair to say that it's very much like its predecessor -

the 3.5 inch touch screen is still the same and many of the

internal functions haven't changed, but it comes with

several subtle improvements that differentiate it,

especially to the iPod enthusiast. The most obvious is the

new volume buttons on side of the touch screen, and even

more notable, an external speaker to make sure that you get

better sound quality. It weighs negligibly less than the

predecessor (.15 of an ounce), but the looks are definitely

different - it slimmer and feels easier to on the hand.

Get ready to load the iTunes V8 right away - without it, you

cannot communicate with the touch.

You can use web based tools with the Apple

iPod Touch 16 GB because its internet enabled. You can

connect to any wireless network. You'll Be able to check

mail and surf.

It has a funky new gadget called an ambient light

sensor that will sense the light intensity in the room when

the iPod is switched on and then adjust the

brightness/contrast and image accordingly. This means that

you battery will go for longer.

If you enable iTunes V8, you can enjoy using the

Genius to create your play lists and navigate through your

music.

Much requested on a newer model was the Nike+iPod

software and the Apple iPod Touch 16 GB has it. It will now

capture vital data as you work out, and at no extra cost

like previous models. All you need to do is attach the

sensor to your shoe.

Though it's hard to point out just what Apple

changed, it looks like a much sturdier phone than previous

models.

Performance

You get much better audio output with the additional

speaker. The speaker is conveniently located just where your

fingers can reach it, although hard to locate on the touch.

Don't be looking to compare the sound quality with the

iPhone though. If you want the best sound quality that Apple

has to offer though, you're better off looking at the iPhone.

The battery life is far longer then in previous

models - when it's fully charged, you get a playback time of

36 hours. This is not bad considering how much it can do -

most multi-functional touch screen phones have a battery

life that's less than impressive.

The Long and short...

Like we said, it's an iPhone minus the phone (and maybe

great audio quality), but you are getting the best value you

can for money really - you'll be able to do everything that

an iPhone can do except call. For an MP3 player that plays

more than just music, you're definitely getting yourself a

great deal.
