What makes the iPod Touch 4G so Great ? What can I use it For?Is it worth it ?
As everyone knows , its not about the Specs on paper , but what you can use the device for . You can review the main features using the comparison table above.In previous generations you could find phones with the same and even more features , since the ipod touch came without basic features such as a camera. However , with this fourth generation release , the iPod Touch really blows the competition out of the water both in terms of specs on paper as well as use-ability. But by far ... the MAIN reason most people buy an iPod Touch has always been the revolutionary apps and games which are really second to none.These are made possible by the following things :
- the 3D Gyroscope which allows the iTouch to sense tilt in all angles and planes which allows you to use amazingly realistic and immersive apps and games
- The Multi touch pad which can detect location, force of each finger used on the screen.
- The new Retina Display 960 x 640 display which gives the iPod Touch the highest resolution of any device in its class allowing extremely crisp video , pictures and graphics
- The New extremely fast A4 processor which allows even the most high resolution , graphics intensive games and apps to run flawlessly
In addition ,the Apple App store contains over 200,000 apps and games as well as the limitless supply of eager iOS 4 Programmers writing 3rd party games and apps which you can use if you jailbreak your ipod touch.This is really at the heart of why , even with phones and other alternatives such as the Zune HD , Galaxy , Blackberry etc that may look similar (having touch screen and similar look) you will never get the functionality of the iPhone.The apps on other touch screen model Phones and pocket devices lack the immersive-ness of the iPod Touch apps and games since they lack the gyroscope and hardware capabilities as well as the IOS4 operating system and cadre of programmers. The phrase '"There is an App for that " is probably close to the truth ... there is an app for just about anything you can imagine...finding it out of the 200,000 other apps out there can be challenging however. So If you're wondering what exactly you could use the iPod Touch for , below are some of the most common uses and a few other ideas.
