Apple iPod Touch

After all the glorious years of producing MP3 players around the corner, Apple came up with the brilliant black machine (as black as the latest Creative Zen). Introducing the new Ipod Touch (I will refer it as Touch) gives the MP3/4 fans a the biggest joy and anticipation with the new Wi-Fi and Safari internet browser. If these two do not make a big hit in your shopping list, experience the real indulgence of the 3.5” inch Multi-Touch screen with resolution up to 480 x 326 pixels. After all this while many MP4 players are launched with the screen size that never go beyond 1 or 2” would never cater the needs of the music fans that prefer watching their favourite video clips whenever they go traveling in bus, trains, walk or even in their sleep. Touch is something new in the sense of the capacity, which offers 8 GB and 16 GB respectively. It is very normal for HDD-based portable players, but we are talking about flash-based now and this is an eye-opener for every one of us. The wireless technology is according to 802.11 b/g wireless connection and thus allowing the music files to be downloaded or transferred from another portable mp4 player in short time. This MP4 player is the next big thing as not only the screen size is big but the screen is also capable of producing high-detailed and crisp picture quality compared to the other MP4 players. Furthermore, viewing the entire photo album using Touch will seriously help to reduce the feelings of loneliness for the family member who went overseas to further their studies or expand their business.

In the release of its first batch, minor negative critics are directed towards Touch as there are some bugs that affect the system when the user is using the Safari browser while listening to music files. Plus, Touch is not quite “friendly” with the attachment of many in-ear headphones. However, these are the minor defects that will never stop the crazy fans from grabbing Touch in the nearest Apple store. Future fixes are foreseeable and firmware might be released to cope with the bugs.

I never see Touch in person but I would be very pleased to have the chance of listening to the sound quality of it when it is paired up together with a noise-canceling headphone. Noise-canceling headphones had started to draw the crowd around the corner as most of the students or working people are turned back when they planned of listening music on their MP3 players in a bus, LRT, airplane or even an evening walk. This is because even though the previous headphones are built solid and improved in ambient noise from the surroundings, the distortion or noise are still lingering in the ears of the music fans. So, noise-canceling headphones are invented and there is a chipset implemented inside the headphone and powered using li-thium batteries that can withstand long hours.

Each time before we try to get something for us or for our loved ones, we will usually seek the best warranty and service for that particular product. So, iTunes is here and be at their best service for the users to subscribe the latest mp3 and download it around the clock. This means, the iTunes is operating 24 hours in 365 days. This is absolutely convenient for the people who are working late shifts to be able to get their hands-on the latest songs and be the first one to rate it!

iPod Touch is also very user-friendly and offers more interactivity compared to the 1^st and 2^nd generation of the Ipod Nano. Browsing the music, video and photo album is learnable at your fingertips. As usual, the Touch came together with the software and standard earphones I guess but it is recommended that getting the best earphone/headphone to be paired with the jukebox will give you the promising quality that u will never expect. Oops! Did I miss out something? Yeah, just want to say that Touch can play 22 hours of audio and 5 hours of video.

Speaking of the artistic design, full black and with the dimension of 0.3” thickness, many of us will never expect the storage capacity can go 8 and even 16 GB. It is totally amazing and with the built-in Wi-Fi support, everyone can get the latest mp3 songs wirelessly when it comes to music. I wish I can have one of these glorious portable audio players. Thank you. (0.0)
