Apple announce the new iPod Touch
It looks like an iPhone, acts like an iPhone but it is definitely not an iPhone. The new iPod Touch has been updated with an all new design and now running on the iPhone 3.1 software.
The main functionality, which is the traditional iPod, is still setting the pace in terms of media playing devices. With wireless capabilities built-in we now have the ability to do so much more including browsing the Apple iStore to find the latest music, movies or TV shows, all of which can be viewed on the iPod Touch.
The cool factor of the iPod Touch is that because it runs on the iPhone 3.1 software it has access to a lot of the applications found on the App Store. It also features a state of the art web browser. Then if you bored of all that work then get a game in the App Store and have a little fun playing either with the built in accelerometer, allowing you to tilt and turn to control the game, or just play in multi-touch enabled games.
It features some cool new innovations as well such as the Retina display which is supposedly way ahead of its time. It displays over 326 pixels per inch which is so dense it is not even distinguishable by the human eye. It also featured an HD video recorder with an extra front facing camera to use FaceTime for video calls.
You can actually look at this as a mini iPad but who is name calling here. There is a 32GB and a 64GB version going at around R2999 and R4299 respectively. Maybe go for the iPad if you want a big screen but if you want portability with functionality, the iPod Touch will blow your mind.
