Product Review: IPod Touch

Before I dive into this article, let me start out by saying that I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the iPod touch. It couldn't arrive at a much better time. I own the previous iPod, but I still have had a problem of too many gadgets to carry around with me. Air travel became a hassle because I had to bring an MP3 player to listen to music, a DVD player to watch a movie, and my laptop in order to surf the internet. All this, plus my other luggage, made traveling extra stressful. The touch solves all this and more.
I decided to buy the iPod touch 16GB and I have to tell you, this thing is awesome! The amazing and innovative features that the new Apple touch has allows you to play your music, watch a video or movie and surf the internet with the press of a finger. Everything you need when you are on the go, whether traveling by plane, train, automobile, or on foot. The stress associated with carrying around multiple devices is a thing of the past.
Tunes on the iPod touch not only sound excellent, but it looks very appealing as well. You can browse through your music with the new feature called Coverflow. This feature makes navigating and managing a simple task, so that you don't have to waste a lot of time trying to find your favorite songs, movies, or TV shows.
The 3.5 inch viewing display makes it perfect for watching movies and videos. You can watch movies in the landscape mode, or watch in theatrical wide screen. The touch screen controls make watching videos on the iPod touch a true pleasure. No more squinting of the eyes to watch a video!
I think probably the best feature of the new Apple touch is the fact that you can surf the internet. With built in wi-fi and the safari web browser, you can view your favorite web pages, just like on your computer. Again, utilizing the touch screen, you can navigate the different web pages using bookmarks or the on-screen touch pad. You can also zoom in on a particular part of the page with just a touch of the finger. Plus, you can hook up with iTunes directly from the iPod touch, so that you can download music directly. This is a great time saver versus going over to your computer, downloading music, hooking up your iPod, and then uploading music.
Managing and viewing your photos couldn't be easier on the new iPod touch. Photos jump out on the bigger display. With a press of the finger, you can bring up images in full screen clicking and dragging your finger to move to the next picture or to zoom in. You can also set up a slide show with ease, adding music and transitions to make it really cool.
One would think that a device with all these features would be extremely difficult to use. But that is not the case with this iPod. Everything is straight forward and nicely laid out. So simple to use, you'll wonder how you got along with out it.
