iPod Touch: made to impress!

Released in September 2007, two months after iPhone was launched, the iPod Touch has succeeded to impress the fans and the critics as being the first iPod to have a 3.5 multi – touch screen. As the “training wheels for iPhone”, iPod Touch takes much of its internal features and the external ones from its bigger brother – the iPhone. So, the discrepancies between the Touch and a classical iPod are quite noticeable.

Made to impress, the Touch has a width of 8 mm, which makes it to be, still the thinnest iPod ever. Another  important improvement for the iPod fans is the built – in WI – FI which along with the Safari Web Browser offers a greater and easier connectivity. Moreover the iPod Touch can be used to see videos and to see and share photos.

Now on the market is also available the second generation (2 G) of iPod Touch, which was released in September, 2008 and brought about more interesting and fun features. One of these features is the built in Apps Store which offers a multitude of games and a multitude of entertainment possibilities. Even Electronic Art has released a version of the popular game - NFS (Need for Speed) which can be played on the iPod Touch.

Even more, the users of the 2G can benefit from the built in speakers and the available accelerometer. Also, the partnership with Nike was maintained, offering the passionate runners the possibility to find out information about the distance, time and even the calories they have burned, while running, thanks to a pair of Nike shoes and a sensor which transmits this kind of information to the iPod.

Even if the Touch takes a lot after the iPhone, in one department it succeeds to be better and to surpass its bigger brother. So, if the iPhone has a maximum memory capacity of 16 MB, iPod Touch can have a flash memory of 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB.

Although, the iPod Touch does not resemble much with a classical iPod, neither in design nor in features and it may be too similar with an iPhone, it still offers an alternative to the usual music player and it must be regarded as a technological progress.
