If You Want an iPod, a Pocket Computer, and a Portable Game Player,The Third-Generation iPodTouch is the Best Choice.
The third-generation
iPod touch (released September 2009) is the flagship of the iPod line, and things keep getting better. Last time around, Apple packed in a number of improvements over the first generation (released September 2007), giving the second generation (released September 2008) a built-in speaker and side volume controls, and a thinner, more contoured enclosure. Apple also pumped up the touch's battery life, giving you up to 30 hours of audio and 6 hours of video on a single charge.
The newest iPod touch adds plenty to the already-appetizing entertainment menu. The new
32 GB and
64 GB models boast a big performance boost--up to 50% faster than the previous models. They also come out of the box with the new iPhone 3.1 software, which instantly gives you access to features such as Genius Mixes, Genius recommendations for apps, Voice Memos, Peer-To-Peer Gaming, Spotlight Search, Cut/Copy/Paste, stereo audio over Bluetooth, Shake to Shuffle, Parental Controls, and the ability to purchase movies, TV shows, and audiobooks from the iTunes Store app. The 32 GB and 64 GB models both include earphones with a Remote and Mic for Voice Control. The
8 GB model doesn't give you voice control, but those seeking a cheaper alternative will appreciate the lowered price.
Like any member of the iPod family, the touch is great for music and media. The
8 GB model holds 1,750 songs; 10,000 photos; or 10 hours of video. The
32 GB model gives you up to 7,000 songs; 40,000 photos; or 40 hours of video. And with the
64 GB model, you can carry a whopping 14,000 songs; 90,000 photos; or 80 hours of video along with you.
But the iPod touch is something more--a pocket computer. Built-in Wi-Fi means you can quickly and easily surf the web, send email, update your Facebook status, and use an ever-growing collection of applications--all on a device that fits in your pocket.
Also, the iPod touch is a great portable game player, designed to make playing games a great experience. New games are added to the App Store every day, and with Genius recommendations for apps, the App Store even suggests new ones based on what you've already downloaded. The touch is now a gaming platform in its own right, with more and more games taking advantage of the touch's unique features, such as its motion-sensing accelerometer, real-time 3D graphics, and 3D positional sound. And games are only a part of the thousands of apps you can enjoy on iPod touch.
