An Evaluation Of The iPod Touch
February 21st, 2009 Filed Under Ipod Touch
iPod Touch: Evaluation
At First Glance:
You cannot help but experience a strong sense of anticipation when you first pick up an iPod touch. You know that this thin and light hand-held device can give you hour after hour of varied entertainment. What’s more, it can do this with multi-youch controls that look as though they’re going to be a pleasure to use.
Features:
Apple has designed the iPod touch as a mobile entertainment center that incorporates as many up-to-the-minute features as it can possibly squeeze into a unit that’s just 4.3 inches high, 2.4 inches wide, and 0.33 inch deep. All that’s missing is a phone and a camera (for these extras, see the iPhone). Consequently, you get a lot for your money with the iPod touch. To begin with, everything you expect from a modern iPod is here. There’s Genius, the feature that acts as your personal DJ by providing playlists based on your favourite songs; the accelerometer, which allows you to tilt and shake the iPod touch to control games; and support for Nike+ iPod, allowing you to monitor your running and workouts when you put a Nike+ iPod sensor in one of your trainers.
There are also plenty of bonuses:
You have the best available iPod screen, in portrait and landscape format, for viewing menus, videos, films, TV shows, and photos; you have 3D graphics and 3D positional sound for games and applications; and you have the benefit of an extremely useful on-screen keyboard.
To top off these features, there’s Wi-Fi wireless capability and all that this can offer. You can surf the web with Apple’s Safari browser, for example, and send and receive email. Once you connect to a wireless network, you can even buy your latest iPod content from the App Store and the iTunes Music Store. You can also use the shortcut icons on your iPod touch to check the weather, or view the latest YouTube online videos.
Technology:
The three iPod touch models have 8GB, 16GB or 32GB flash drives. These capacities allow each touch to contain up to 1,750, 3,500 or 7,000 songs respectively in 128Kbps AAC format. Such figures assume average song duration of four minutes.
Video storage comes in at around 10, 20 and 40 hours. This is an average based on H.264 1.5Mbps video at 640 x 480 pixel resolution combined with 128Kbps audio. Even on an 8GB touch, you can comfortably fit five standard length films.
As with the iPod nano and classic, one further use of the storage on the iPod touch is to hold digital photos. In fact, the touch is the best of the iPods for displaying your photos thanks to its three and a half inch screen with 480 x 320 resolution. Capacity is 10,000, 20,000 or 25,000 "iPod viewable" pictures transferred from .
The built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) wireless connection of the iPod touch picks up available wireless networks at home, work, and hotspots around the globe. It works in the same way as a laptop’s wireless feature, and requires passwords where necessary. Supporting the iPod touch’s Wi-Fi is Apple’s upgraded 2.1 software. The technology includes a map location-based service that uses local Wi-Fi networks to establish your location.
Finally, to use your iPod touch with a computer, you need a Mac with a USB 2.0 port; Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later; and iTunes 8.0 or later. PC users require a USB 2.0 port; Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later; and iTunes 8.0 or later.
Performance:
It’s hard to fault the performance of the iPod touch. Certainly, the internal speaker doesn’t match the sound quality you experience over the earphones or an attached external audio system; but realistically, would you expect it to? Instead, if you think of the internal speaker as a handy feature for games, and for previews of music and podcasts, you can appreciate the purpose and benefit of it.
Also, tests show that getting six hours of video playback on a full battery charge, as claimed by Apple, may be optimistic. Nonetheless, you’re likely to achieve more than 40 hours of audio playback (rather than the official 36) without needing to boost the battery.
Internal speaker quality and video playback time are minor niggles, however. The overall performance of the iPod touch is superb, particularly as Apple has answered some of the problems raised by owners of the first generation model.
First generation software, for example, is often tortoise-like in syncing, and downloading applications using Wi-Fi. The updates Apple has introduced for the second generation software provide much faster response times and compare extremely well.
Other second generation iPod touch improvements further enhance performance and ease of use. The new controls on the left-hand edge allow you to adjust volume without pulling the iPod touch from your bag or pocket and using the Multi-Touch screen. There are additional features such as a choice of alarm sounds the same as the iPhone’s ringtones. You also have larger icons and text on the Podcast and Video screens, plus better details attached to each podcast episode. Finally, the Music screen provides more information about your songs.
Of course, anyone familiar with Apple’s development of iPods expects modifications with a new generation model. Of all these adjustments, what may cause surprise is the different tint Apple has given the Multi-Touch screen. It is definitely yellower than the first generation model. Frankly, though, the only people likely to notice this are those who update from the first to second generation. Even then, the change in screen tone doesn’t affect enjoyment of the games, films, TV shows, and videos you can broadcast (although do remember to clean your finger marks off the screen with the enclosed polishing cloth before settling down to watch something).
Pros:
- Multi-Touch, three and a half inch screen
- Web browsing
- Ability to send/receive emails
- Internal 1ff8 speaker
- Useful volume controls
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Video playback may not reach six hours
- Internal speaker will not suit audiophiles
Conclusions:
The touch has everything that makes an iPod desirable to own plus a fun-to-use screen and the advantages of Wi-Fi connectivity.

Watch Movies On Your iPod
With the advent of the ipod touch, there are many questions on the newest MP3 and MP4 players of today and how all of this technology works and how everything fits together.
Today’s generation has a knack for new technology that seems to get away from the older population. This however does not stop everyone from trying to enjoy the newest generation of technology. In years past, everyone had a beta or vhs vcr player that had a flashing 12:00 time blinking away. Those were the days. The movies were of analog quality and the mechanical devices they were played on constantly ripped up the tapes.
Today’s technology has taken a huge step forward with the ipod touch movie player. You can now have cinema quality films play right inthe palm of your hands. No more rentals, and no more late fees. You can now download movies directly into your player with the right know how. It is easy to do and best of all with this product, you can do it anywhere you have access to a wi-fi connection.
The iphone had a great launch in the summer of 2007 and Apple soon realized that much of the public wanted everything the iphone had except the phone. Apple then had a great idea to spin the iphone and make the next generation of ipod’s. This was how the ipod touch was born.
The birth of the ipod touch symbolizes several firsts in public viewing possibilities. You can get instant entertainment events downloaded straight to your device. Network television can be viewed when you want it and not when they broadcast. No longer are you stuck watching a show on tv and having the cable or satellite companies control when you watch. You can now download tv shows and movies in stereo from wherever you like.
Electronics have come a long way and mankind has always had great inventions that will always baffle the masses, all of them met with the same exclamation: Wow that was a great idea! The iTouch falls into this category and truly is jus t a glimpse of a lot more great things to come.

Add Videos to Your IPod Touch

Add Videos To Your IPod Touch
The iPod Touch has been in the market for over a year now ever since Steve Jobs introduced it at the ‘The Beat Goes On’ event. A hit with Apple fans, it has revolutionized the portable music player industry.
Described as being an iPhone without the phone, the iPod Touch is based on a Wi-Fi mobile platform and is included with Apple’s Safari web browser. Although similar to the iPhone in many ways, right down to the multi-touch graphical user interface and the sleek design, it lacks many features that are found on the iPhone.
For instance, the iPod Touch has no Bluetooth capability, a microphone, a camera and a GPS receiver. Aside from that, both gadgets look almost alike to each other. The line which differentiates them is further blurred when the second generation of iPod Touch sports an external speaker and external volume controls.
As a portable media player, you can also watch iPod Touch movies. This function has had users lamenting on the complicated and somewhat strict procedures in transferring a video into the gadget. For one thing, you can only upload videos in the mpg4 format. Fortunately, converters are easily found over the internet, and the most of them are free.
1)After downloading and running a free iPod video converter, open a file you want to convert to from the ‘choose file’ option. The files could either be from your hard drive or a DVD. If you want to convert a DVD, a number of files will appear on your converter’s display. Choose the file with largest size and start the conversion.
2) You can alter any aspects of the video on the converter itself, such as its size and quality.
3) Next, is the transfer of files from the computer to your iPod Touch. For that, you’ll need the latest version of iTunes, which is available at Apple’s website.
4) Run iTunes and connect your iPod using the cable provided. An icon should appear on the bottom left of the iTunes application and your iPod should display a warning about disconnecting before removing the cable.
5)Choose the ‘Movies’ tab and click the video you want to sync with. Click ‘apply’ and after a few minutes, depending on the size of your video, it will become an iPod Touch movie
There you have it! What you just read is a perfectly foolproof way to convert and transfer iPod Touch movies. Have fun!

Finding A Cheap iPod Touch
February 21st, 2009 Filed Under Ipod Touch
Where can one find the iPod Touch Cheap?
You can shop your normal brick and mortar stores and find a brand spanking new iPod Touch or you can go online and shop directly from the official Apple iPod(TM) store but, will you get the best deal?
But, first let me give a little bit of info about the this neat portable media player and why it has become so popular.
Well, thankfully Apple in all it’s wisdom decided that they could develop a media player with as many excellent functions as the iPhone. The iPod Touch shares all the same audio, video and photo apps as it’s grown up brother. Especially since, many of us love the Apple mobile media interface every bit as much as the iPhone. The search is fast, sampling tracks and downloading is easy and syncing the tracks back to your computer are effortless. But, the built in Wi-Fi ensures quality connections over the internet.
The media player comes in 8, 16 and now the new 32 gigabyte version, which is very powerful and as for us, stands heads and shoulders above the rest of the new media players.
The question now is, "Where does one find the iPod Touch cheap?"
We spent many hours searching online and comparing prices to find ours. Of course, our desire was to find the media player at discount prices for brand new players that came with warranties and had not been tampered with in any way.
We searched various online retailers that offer all the latest electronic gadgets. We found that most well known online stores offered the player at somewhat similar prices. There were however, some very big differences in some of the pricing between the newer version of the media player. The iPod Touch we have found, especially the newer 32 gig model, is starting to garner a bigger following that most expected. But, with it’s larger capacity and ease of use makes this new media player a very nice addition to your collection.
Several websites that were offering the media player were monitored for several weeks to check the availability and prices and found that they consistently offered what we were looking for. Great prices, well respected and well known with a very large community of satisfied buyers searching to acquire a iPod Touch cheap.
So if your still thinking about either upgrading your player to a larger capacity model or searching to find a brand new one. Just do some research and compare prices. Be patient and you will find one that you want at an very affordable price.
