Dear% username% you probably heard that the well-known Iphone has a twin brother named Ipod touch , in this topic I’ll tell you why I liked the youngest one.

pps will be very happy to move this post to the thematic blog, while not enough karma

Introduction

Ipod touch has long become cramped within the concept of an mp3 player. Maybe due to the fact that it has a wonderful (by mobile standards) browser, email client, really high-quality games and many thousands of applications from the Appstore.

Differences

Externally, devices of the 2nd and 3rd generations are almost the same: the same 3.5-inch screen and 480x320 resolution. In addition to the touch screen, there are also 3 buttons:

1. volume
2. blocking
3. home button

External differences from the iPhone a bit:

1. Aluminum back cover
2. headphone jack location
3. lock button on the left
4. volume control tighter
5. no vibro mode switch
6. portable microphone
7. the camera window is closed with a cap

Internal differences are:

1. there is no camera
2. no gps
3. no compass
4. 2G \ 3G module

But at ipod volume can be adjusted directly from the headset :)

So why is he so good?

I'll start in order. I want to say that in the new hardware for Ipod \ Iphone, in addition to the increased memory capacity, the processor speed Apple added a full-fledged GPU for working with OpenGL. It really changed a lot, for example, the speed of launching and operation of games :) The quality of graphics in games was quite equal to the level of PSP. I noted with interest that games for Iphone besides Gameloft are really big brands - EA, Ubisoft etc. When you go for a few more hours, you do not want to read and the head does not perceive audio books. The toys really help pass the time.

Surprisingly, the fact that in almost every metro station you can find free hotspot . Ipod more than satisfies everything that is required from the Internet "on-the-go": look at the map in MAPS (cell ID of the wireless network also calculates the current position, quite a few places with beeline wifi in which you almost have GPS) use the Internet bank or the wonderful qiwi application in the iphone , read the mail, etc. Honestly, comparing this with the fact that the 3G coverage has not yet gone beyond the limits of the garden ring, I see less and less expediency in buying an iPhone.

About audiobooks and music, I think, speak unnecessarily. The status of the best mp3 player from Ipod so far no one could take away.

There are also great readers for books in PDF, DJVU, fb2 in the face of Goodreader, Easy DJVU reader and Stanza which are really convenient to read.

And besides, you can watch educational videos and all kinds of movies on it.

Total

Honestly, all the above described functionality for me pulls at least on a PDA and not on an “iphone without a phone” or “an expensive mp3 player”. For your money in the iPod, you can get everything that was previously required from the PDA + wonderful applications for each day + touch. All this in a wonderful light body. Well, the price is quite small for all these chips.

Tell me honestly%% username%, did you want to get a laptop in the subway? And ipod touch 3g is nice to get :)

ps Price ipod touch 3g 32 gb - 11000 rub
