MrH2o Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 So, I was in a store today and touched (ha ha) the new Ipod touch, I fell in love with it in 0,34milliseconds and I'm strongly thinking of buying it. Now i wonder if you guys have it /tried it, Im especially interested in the web browser (flash support? any cons?) I'm more into the machine as a showcase for my photos and surfing then for the music but sure, I listen to music most of my train trip so it will be good I want your thought on it! Quote
-HP- Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Here's a nice review if you haven't read it already: http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/22/ipod-touch-review/ I thought of buying this one also, but I won't for two reasons, first Is the price, secondly you can't change musics neither you can increase or decrease the volume of the music, while the ipod touch is in you'r pocket, I mean, the idea of not having any buttons is nice, but all the input you make on it, you obviously have to be looking to the screen, I don't imagine myself having to look to the screen every single time I want to increase the volume or change the track! Nevertheless, it's still a kick ass and revolutionary MP3/MP4 player! Quote
Thrik Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Yeah, I think the whole touch screen thing is good for a phone (remember that the iPod Touch is basically an iPhone with some of the applications removed), but I also don't really look at my player much while using it and so would find the touch screen thing kind of counter-intuitive. If it's just the non-music aspect that intrigues you, hold on for a while. Lots of other companies are racing to get their own touch screen devices out, and Nokia's in particular showed a lot of promise when it was unveiled a short while ago. LG also has a good one coming out imminently, which has a 5-megapixel camera with proper flash (good for a phone). I'd say it's a little overpriced for what it actually is. But then, that's what Apple do best -- they sell style. If you can justify that, it's entirely up to you. Quote
Grinwhrl Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 I read a review on it, forgot who reviewed it, but everything was greatly reviewed except for one minor feature that was disliked. A Starbucks feature that allows you to buy songs that are played in Starbucks, lol. Other than that it was greatly reviewed and I hope to get one some day as well. Quote

MrH2o Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Posted October 19, 2007 So here I'am sitting and writing on my newly purchased ipod touch I'm more then happy the little I have played with it, but I realise that I wont be writing any long messages again Quote
Bic-B@ll Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 bleh. apple just keeps pumping out new shit Quote

Chunks Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 To add fuel to the fire, I just got a zune. It was only like 100 bucks, I coulnd't pass it up. Quote
Mazy Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Hated it when they first announced it (Since its basically an iPhone minus some of the really cool stuff), but after a while I kinda started looking a bit more positive on it. However now I'm sure I'm just gonna get an iPod Classic. Some people at work have got some and they're really slick, and although it might not be the huge change I was looking for, since I already got an iPod Photo, then its a lot thinner and 20gb more. And then I can get an iPhone without feeling too much like a fool Also aye HP, the entire situation with scrolling music and especially turning the volume up and down, without taking it out going through the entire unlock procedure, is a big minus as well. You'd probably need a remote if you wanna use it as an MP3 player Quote
Pongles Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 "The two most abundant phthalates in the headphone cables of both the iPhone and the iPod are those classified in Europe as 'toxic to reproduction: category 2,' as a result of their ability to interfere with the sexual development in mammals, especially in males," Quote
Duff-e Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 as an owner of an iphone and a friend of someone with an ipod touch do yourself a favor and get the iphone. the only phone that remotely comes near the iphone is the blackberry in terms of functionality and options Quote
Rick_D Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 the iphone isn't all that great if you compare features with other phones. Quote
Skjalg Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 ahahaha I love Duffy and his sarcasm Quote
