iPod Touch 4G Review

In a world with many music players, one company introduced a device that  has changed the way we think about music devices. ladies and gentlemen,  Apple has updated one of their revolutionary products in September of 2010, called the iPod Touch 4G. Today we will be going over the internal and external parts of the device. We will also look at some of the great features of the iPod.

Inside the hood, there is a blazing fast 1GHz Apple A4 Processor and 256MB of ram. You can buy the 8GB, 32GB or 64 GB sizes. It has 2 Cameras, a rear and  front facing. The front facing camera is 0.3 MP, and it records video at 480p. The rear facing camera is 0.8 MP,  and it will record video at 720p HD. The Mic is in there top too, and it has fairly good sound quality, but not the best. There is, of course, a battery in this device which will give you 40 hours for music, and 7 hours for video, games and browsing the Internet. Last, but not least, one of the most revolutionary parts of the device is the screen. The screen has a resolution of 960-by-640, and it is 3.5 inches. Apple calls this the Retina Display. It is one of the best looking displays out in the market, as of January 2011. The bad part of the screen is that it is not IPS, which means from some angles the screen looks a little washed out. The iPhone 4,   however, has an IPS display so its screen does not look washed out from any angle. That was basically the inside of the device.

The internal parts of the device were amazing, but what about the external design? The front of the magnificent device holds an excellent glass panel, which protects the display. It is not Gorilla Glass, but it is still very good.  The front facing camera is there too. On the left side of the device, you see the volume rocker, which is fairly easy to use. On the devices back, you see your rear facing camera and mic. On the right side of the device, you see nothing but chrome. Without the bottom, this would be a useless device, because the bottom has your speaker, dock connector, and headphone jack. The top of the device has a really useful button and that button is called the sleep/wake button. That was the external design of the device. Next stop is features so hold on for the ride.

Now, what are some amazing things that an iPod Touch 4G, can actually do? I guess it is time to find out. One feature that it has uses the front facing camera and it is called FaceTime. FaceTime lets you video chat with other iPod Touch 4G users, iPhone 4 users and of course Mac users. If you like watching videos, you'll love this app: YouTube. It lets you watch your favorite YouTube videos, straight from your iPod. Of course, you can search for anything, view the featured content, and login to your own account. If you like to game with other people, you'll enjoy this app: Game Center. Game Center lets you challenge other people around the world, to see who is better at a game. You can also browse the Internet,  and check your Email with this device. If you like Music, TV Shows, and Movies, you should know that you can rent or purchase them straight from your iPod, with the iTunes application. One feature everyone loves about the iPod Touch is the App Store, which lets you get hundreds of thousands of apps. They could be free, or paid applications. Let’s say you were playing a game and you got an email? You would have to close your app and check your email,  right? Now, with the iPod Touch 4G, you can check your email without closing the game. The feature that will let you do that is called multitasking. Those were some of the main and exciting features about the iPod Touch 4G.

We have talked about a lot of great things that are in the iPod Touch 4G. We talked about the internal parts of the device, the external design of the device, and about the main features of the device. One thing you might be thinking about asking, is do I recommend this iPod? The solid answer is, yes, I do, because it offers so many features for such a sleek looking, portable device. It also lets you explore an ever changing world of apps.  This would be a great device for anyone because of it's features, and it would especially be great for a pre-teen or a teen, because it would let them talk to their friends face to face. This is an amazing device and I highly recommend everyone go out and buy it.

iPhone 5 Launch Temporized?

Now, most of my articles rattle off with a bitter skepticism, putter away to a degree of cynicism, and driven by intentions to put my readers in a trance-pensive state, I try to emboss the endings by disposing of all my berserk, and somewhat of blue-chip, arguments that I style out for their entertainment. Not today. Indeed, various sources have dabbed on this information, until it was billed and cooed by people as a valid claim. And yet a small proportion of people who have dug their hills in, runs afoul with this accomplished fact. And if there’s any liability of plausibility and justice in this world, these disagreers should move in together with sophists, the Grand Wizard, and George Romero in a Texas cage match. Then again, I need to renege on my disclaimer up there because I will prove to them why iPhone 5 will be temporized until 2012, and willfully guard my bastion of reasons. 

“Two is better than one” is somewhat of a throwaway howler, but nonetheless an endorsed tag line that has been spewed out of Apple’s advertising vent. (“Two are better than one” is a correct usage because the “two” is a byword for two carriers: Verizon, and AT&T) iPhone 4 went on sale on 24th of June 2010 under the auspice of AT&T. Three-score years later, its CDMA counterpart was released on 10th of February 2011 under Verizon. There’s about an 8 month hiatus amidst the two product launches. If Apple were to release the iPhone 5 June or July of this year, a chic product-cycle, Verizon customers would be fuming with wry, feeling they were exploited by built-in obsolescence; they bought their iPhones only 4 months prior to the launch. Then again, AT&T customers would be glowering at Apple and speak out with an expedited drawl like a throng of clods, sitting on top of backhoes, while jabbering to each other how the society is ruled by bluebloods and glitzy half-asses. Then, they would go back to their ramshackle cabins, pay visits to loan sharks and ask them for incidentals, big enough to buy Apple’s latest and greatest wastrel. I need to catch my breath here. 

Apple doesn’t want to be ironmongers. Neither does Apple want to sip a hemlock of capitulation, nor does it want to lose its unlettered customers, who mould their views and coagulate an utterance of gratification at everything Apple reeks off. Now, Apple is an unstinting company, and I don’t say this with a churlish manner. Its MacBook, iPod, and iPhone franchises have shown to be highly successful, and susceptible to warm approvals. Apple winnows out the best of the best, and its HQ at Cupertino does not leave a cubbyhole for failures that sag against the floor. In fact, Apple is so fetching. Its reputation is that of a reveler, a conduit of grace that its followers want to elope with. It envisions through the spectacles of a pallid, and furrowed, yet illustrious, visionary, and weaves away the corners of a paisley until it barges into the planks of pantheon, whereby the Pillars of Hercules stand stalwart to guard against minions of decrepit crooks until they chafe off. In a similar fashion, Apple is a patron of superlative touches, and skeptics of knavish outcomes. Given the fact that it dotes on the niceties and overhanging grandeur, Apple would not make things out of wigs in the backwoods. Subpoena me before the court, and buttonhole me to question this axiom I am possessed with. Evoke a hard-nosed barrister and sue me for what I think. Meanwhile I’d be resting on perches, and twiddling my thumbs because there is no lingering doubt in my mind that Apple is not a rustic fare on top of the table. It’s a pool of acute minds that know what they are doing. Apple might have hemmed and hawed with its iPhone 3GS. People inveighed against it, and labeled it as an unworthy upgrade, or rather an ungainly spinoff of its precursor. But this time around, Apple would not let that happen again. iPhone 5 would not be a rehash, but an apostate.

Let me shift my wayward tone once more. We are aware that Apple is not a waif at a pandemonium of some congested rebels. It frisks briskly and despite The Trend that muzzles corporations from acting out of their will, Apple creates that trend and savors it with the very sauce and flavor it uses to cook iPods, iPhones, and MacBooks. But when the King of Chefs is in no hurry, or of need to add the extra cherry on a frozen parfait, he waits. Right now, Apple’s iPhone is incontrovertibly the best phone in the market - that is out of earshot of greenhorn Android fanatics who neutralize anything meritorious, the plus, Apple musters up. Heck, iPhone 3GS is even-steven with 99% of the phones in the market. And that one percent is studded by iPhone 4. In short, Apple doesn’t need to be a prig and bill for another line of iPhone, because its precursors have not yet been exhumed as troglodyte skeletons, and their mojos have not worn off yet. 

Of course I cannot palm you off, as usual. My strident views and commentaries might sound like behests that Sam Cayhall objects to. But if you can’t bear the brunt of my bedraggled and bristling axes, treat yourself a book about causal determinism. There, you’d find 500 reasons how you have ended up reading the entire draft of my article, and the benefits of my foisting on you. Then, you find yourself divested of reasons and come to acknowledge my view. Once more, iPhone 5 will be temporized for 2012 on very valid grounds.

The 2011 MacBook Pro's

Today, I went to PC World intending to take a look at the new iPad 2's and the 2011 MacBook Pro's and compare the speed to the speed of the previous generation. As I walked in, I was imediately greeted with MacBook Pro's.

Speed

Luckily enough, there were two 13-inch MacBook Pro's on display - one was the new 2011 model with FaceTime HD camera and ThunderBolt, and the other was the previous, 2010 model.

I closed all running applications on both MacBook Pro's, and loaded up Safari on both at precisely the same time. Both loaded up instantly. Infact, it wasn't until loading roughly four applications that the 2011 MacBook Pro started to shine.

Camera

The new 2011 MacBook Pro boasts a FaceTime HD camera. Unfortunately, neither laptops had internet access so I couldnt exactly test out FaceTime, but you can see a difference in quality when snapping some pictures in PhotoBooth.

I will definately be buying the new 2011 MacBook Pro soon.
