After a long time I got my hands on my own iPod touch and I finally got to know why people over the world are crazy about
the iPod. The touchscreen feature is really amazing as it results in only one button present on the ipod which isn''t on the screen. The sensors present in it are amazing and leave the present technology light years behind. This helps in the viewing the pictures in either landscape or portrait form. One can switch the photos just by moving our finger over the screen. For
zooming one can either double click or just keep two fingers close and move them apart on the screen.Now coming to its amazing sound quality. The amplifiers in the ear-phones is out of this world. It amplifies the sound to such an extent that I advise anybody who doesn''t want to spoil their ears to hear the music at half the volume max. The video quality also is quite good and the sound quality is again just out of this world.Not only can one listen to music and see videos i.e movies, one can even browse the net using Safari after buying an attachment( unfortunately I couldn''t get one as the hole in my pocket was already quite big) but, only in a Wifi hotspot.One can also see videos on Youtube but one requires an Internet connection first.The clock feature is also good as we can modify it to see the time of about 15 different cities at once. Apart from this you can store a ton of info about your loved ones in contact from their phone numbers to their birthdays, anniversaries, email ids etc.Now for the cons, firstly if you remove the Internet features then the iPod doesn''t have much features. Secondly, you can''t increase the space for e.g-my iPod touch has 16 GB space, now I can''t increase it to say 30 GB.Thirdly, if the screen cracks even a bit then, the device becomes unusable till it is repaired by Apple. Fourthly, the videos you might be having need to be first converted into .mp4 format only then can you watch the videos on the iPod. But the biggest and I really mean the biggest problem is that you need iTunes to put any data on the ipod. You need the latest version of the iTunes which is a 56 MB file available for download from the net. So for those of you not having broadband available home it is going to be difficult for you to synchronize the iPod. There are some other minor hitches too but they can be ignored.Just because there is such a long list of cons don''t think that the iPod touch is a bad buy. It is a priceless buy if you have Wifi connectivity and even without it, the iPod has some great features which are way ahead of the other products in its field.Just one word of caution actually two. First, choose the amount of space you want in the iPod carefully. Second take care of it as the apple of your eye and don''t let it''s screen get scratched.Hope you have fun after buying this gizmo.
