First look on iPod Touch

She surfs my body, her slim body slims down to my pants in an instant. Her skin is so cold and she always give me a tingle when her body touches me. My fingers always pinch her body and she will respond it super well. She obeys my command and when i command her to play, she plays. When i command her to surf, she surfs with so much ease.

It's none other than my wife, my iPod Touch. (THAT ONE LA, WHAT DO U THINK?) Chey!


It's already 4 days old and she's my real beauty baby. She checks my email, facebook and my blog in the go. I need not have to wait for my laptop to load it's Operating System. By the time my laptop loads everything, I've already checked my email, my blog and surfed at least 5 websites on my iPod Touch.

Her sound system has a significant boost from my previous iPod Video, there is a noticeable bass difference as the sound processor is handling audio clips in a better way.

Not only to that, this are her specifications of her battery life though i didn't get the chance to let it run my entire songs library till the battery drains out. But one significant boost is that even my Wi-fi antenna is operating non stop, the battery life still has it's capacity to last.


A noticeable difference between the 5th generation ipods and iPod Touch is the new connector for the 6th Gen iPods.


You can immediately pull off the connector without pressing the sides and it has slimmed down quite a fair bit.


This is my dearest iPod touch. I heard from forums that many hackers has successfully installed third party softwares such as reading .pdf files, viewing google maps on the iPod touch and it will be very interesting to learn all this amazing hacks. One significant hack will be iJailBreak where a 13 year old boy has broken the brick of the stripped down Mac Operating System of the iPod Touch.

The main menu of iTouch.

When it syncs with my laptop, it also shows the capacity of the battery in large detail.

My Wallpaper.

Wireless / Safari Web Browser:
One significant advancement for iPod is that there is wireless intergration in it, thus there is Safari browser installed and it's able to view almost all websites but there is some limitations due to the processor speed and etc. Thus, Safari on iPod Touch is unable to decode

• window.showModalDialog()
• Mouse-over events
• Hover styles
• Tool tips
• Java applets
• Flash
• Plug-in installation
• Custom x.509 certificates

That means that you can't simply log into imeem and hear songs on the fly because there is no flash player to support imeem player.

My blog displays exactly the same as my laptop does.

When tilted horizontally, the GUI rendering is so powerful, it rotates the entire display with full frame rates. I didn't see noticeable frames dropping despite a heavy graphical user interface on my blog.

In the process of tilting.

HOWEVER, there is another great integration of YouTube browser and to tell you the fact, the interface of the youtube on iPod touch is so much user friendly than the website itself.

I could find our group, Bondevia videos on the fly and play them.

Clicking on the light blue small button, it shows the full description of the video!

Buffering videos can never be so fast in iPod Touch.


And you're off! Watching millions of youtube videos on the net!


As a facebook lover, iPod touch never fails me to simplify my task. A simple user interface that is optimize soley for iPod Touch and iPhone.

Music:

This is the interface when you're hearing songs, a large display of the cover art is smacked behind all the buttons.

When tilted again, the interface shows the cover flow of all your albums.

Viewing Pictures:

Viewing pictures can never be so easy.

Can't see the picture properly because it's too small?

PINCH IT!

And if u still need to view it in greater detail, iPod touch lets you pinch closer!

I simply LOVE pinching those photos because it has the smoothest transition of zooming photos.

iTunes Store:

iTunes store is also intergrated into the iPod and i love iTunes store because i can preview songs on the fly. Right now, i can preview those new songs on my iPod Touch with the help of a wireless connection. Darn easy!

There are many applications and one significant programme that i like is CALCULATOR.

It just look like a calculator, until someone shouted, HEY! THAT'S AN IPOD!

Say bygones to my 30GB iPod Video.


And welcome my 8Gb iPod Touch.


The iPod Touch is much thinner than the iPod Video but compromisable because iPod Video is worth 30GB.

The screen:
This is a real baby. The screen is scratch resistant to every material except diamonds. The surface of the iPod is made of a special glass (not cheap plastic) thus, I CAN SAVE MONEY ON SCREEN PROTECTOR!

See the video of the man tries to use penknife/needle/keys and scratch the screen of the iPod as hard as he can.


Flaws:
The only flaw that iPod touch has is when a heavy Html coded website is being viewed, iPod touch shuts down your music so as to reserve more CPU and memory spaces to load the particular website.

iPod wireless doesn't support ad-hocs and encrypted 802.1x technology thus it's a disappoint for those who wants to access Campus or Company network, be disappointed or petition to Apple inc. to have a 802.1x support firmware.

To sum things up, iPod has really revolutionalize the way i hear my music and work. There are some other features such as iCal and the calender is synchronizing strictly from my Outlook. Therefore, i got a strong Calender of events because my Laptop, iPod Touch and my k800i synchronize the calender as one. Thus, where ever i go, i got my calender ready in my iPod or handphone!
