Looking for Apple iPod touch 16 GB
I got my iPod Touch the day before they Skype app came out, and I want to be clear that I would not get one before I knew there was a Skype app, and I bought it to use as my Skype phone way from home.
If you are looking for a great PDA, portable game station, or Skype phone - look no further. They Skype app works great, but it is still new, 1.0.1, so all the features of Skype are not there. I can make calls, but I can't receive them. Skype logs you out when you go to do anything else. So at this point, don't let that be the only reason, like I did.
The touch makes a great PDA. I am able to make appointments, check my gmail account and take notes. The keypad is really good. It does not sync up with Thunderbird. That is a pain, as it has my Google calender, so I have to pick one or update both.
If you are buying this to use a an MP3 player, I give it 2 stars, and the MP3 player is why I only gave this product 4 starts. If the MP3 player were as good as my Creative Zen, I would have given the iPod touch 5 stars - no question.
My Zen can play more video types, or at least it re-codes them to be Zen capable. None of my videos play on my Touch, or at least I do not know how to re-code them to work on it. Zen's program just does it for me. iTunes tells my they won't play on my Touch.
The Zen has the ability to add an SD card, so I can take my kids movies or music with me for them (they are all 4 and under) without messing up my stuff (selfish, I know). With the iPod Touch, I take up my hard drive space and the time to make a play list etc...
With the Zen I can delete songs/videos/pics I do not want from the card or the hard drive without connecting to the computer. If I want to upload songs/videos/pics from the card I can do so. If I am at a friends and forget my USB cable I can use a SD card to add stuff to my Zen.
To do anything, other than play music or videos, in the Touch I have to plug in to iTunes. That is annoying. I do not buy songs from the iStore, as i can get the same music for a fraction of the price ($2.99 for an album compared to $0.99 per song) elsewhere, or even better, Creative Commons music from Jamendo.com for free (legally).
I also find the Zen more intuitive. I picked it up, and knew how it worked because it worked the way I have always thought an MP3 player should. That is a me thing though.
The iPod Touch does not play oggs, I do not like that, but I already re-coded my library for my Zen so that is not a big deal at this point.
I think the bottom line for me is that I can do more of what I want to do on the Zen with my music than I can with the iPod. The Zen also came with better headphones, tho both are lower quality.
I also want to point out again that I love my iPod Touch, I just do not see it as an MP3 player with extra stuff, I see it as a PDA/etc... with a generic MP3 player. If not for the Skype app, I never would have bought one. Maybe they should call it SkyPod now ;)Get more detail about Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) NEWEST MODEL.
