Looking for Apple iPod touch 16 GB
I was introduced to the iPod Touch/iPhone interface last summer when the iPhone 3G was released. My wife purchased and iPhone with a new cell phone contract through AT&T and I had my chance to play around with the device. The little I did play with it I absolutely enjoyed.
For the longest time, I've had multiple media devices all for doing different functions. Every time I would travel over night, I'd have to pack my:
- iPod Video for music and movies.
- Sony PSP for games.
- Blackberry Curve for my email.
- Laptop for internet access.
What a hassle. Last month I figured that I had had enough of the multiple-device life and sold my PSP and gave a family member my iPod Video. I used the money from the Sony PSP to purchase the iPod Touch 16 GB. And I've never regretted the decision.
For Gaming:
I'm not a huge gamer, but I do like to "button mash" a decent platformer or play some video poker when I'm sitting in a hotel room or on a plane. With the Sony PSP (or even the Nintendo DS in this case), any time I wanted to play a new game, I'd have to get in my car, drive to a game or retail store, purchase a disc, take it home, insert it and play the game. With the iPod Touch, I simply need a network connection, I surf the App store, I pay for whichever game I'd like to play, it downloads and automatically installs onto the device. Once I've beaten the game, I can erase it off the device and install it at a later time should I decide to play again. Goodbye Sony DMDs. And the game variety is surprisingly ample and of decent quality.
A few games that I have found to be exceptional:
- Hero of Sparta
- Firemint's Real Racing
- Gameloft's Assasin's Creed
- The New York Time's Crossword Puzzles.
- Rolando
- 2XL Games Supercross
For Other Media:
Obviously playing music isn't an issue on the iPod Touch. The sound quality is good, and I like the multiple viewing options available for viewing albums. Video is also much better than on the iPod Video. The screen is brighter, larger and more crisp.
I'm also a big fan of the Amazon Kindle software for the iPod Touch. Granted that I would not like to read an entire book on the small LCD iPod screen, it's sufficient enough to read a few chapters of whatever novel I'm reading in between meetings or on lunch break.
I also highly recommend:
- Apple Software's Remote
- Air Mouse
The Good:
- Apple's App Store.
- The screen (clean, clear and crisp).
- WiFi enabled.
- Slim and portable form factor.
The Bad:
- The battery (seems to not work as long as advertised).
- No GPS functionality (although Google Maps is sufficient).
- No Bluetooth.
The Ugly:
- Nothing.
All in all, the iPod Touch exceeds my expectations. The release of the 3.0 OS will be a nice addition (regardless of the cost to iPod Touch users). Boy, for an all inclusive package, Apple has done a phenomenal job.
