Looking for Apple iPod touch 16 GB
This is my first ipod. All over, it is a well done product. A lot of cool apps to keep you from boredom. But this ipod as a media player...it's just average or even below average in some cases.
My other MP3 player are the Sony Ericsson i750 & Sonly Clie TJ37, they blow this ipod away when it comes to the sound quality. It's hard to believe there's no EQ for ipod Touch, sound quality is flat as the result of all genres play on one flat EQ setting. iTunes 8 is extremely slow on Windows XP doesn't help much neither.
Video is cool, instant access to youtube. Once again, lack of video controls. It only has brightness control, no contrast (I might be wrong on this)
Pro:
- Near perfection integration between iPod & iTune, very easy to use
- Display lyrics on screen (if lyric is loaded on iTune)
- Superb user interface
- Accelerometer really brings fun out of the games, kinda like Wii.
- Supports microphone, which enables to use VOIP such as Skype over wifi
- A tone of cool apps and a tone of junk apps
Cons:
- Too large and fragile to be an everyday portable MP3 player, unless you have a man bag. lol. One drop, it is gone. I've dropped my i750 many times and it still rocks.
- Average sound quality with no EQ support. What is Apple thinking?
- Turtle speed with iTune 8 on Windows XP
- Average earphone
- expensive accessory. $15.00-30.00 for a piece of thin silicon skin that is made in China?
If you want a solid and durable MP3 player, this is not the one for you. But if you want an average MP3 player with lots apps to keep you entertained, then this is a great gadget for you!
Update 3/08:
Good news, it does have an EQ. Bad news, it is buried in the Setting->Music->EQ.The difference between the EQ settings is barely noticeable, it's better than none.
It also a bug, its clock will go crazy when it connects with the PC where iTunes 8 is already running. You have to make sure iTunes 8 is not running on the PC before plug in the USB, otherwise you have to set the clock each time.
Apple, iTunes movie rental is a great idea. But $3.99 for 24 hours on a tiny screen? Hmmm...you should have a 0.99 rental for iphone/ipod touch category.
