brighthand‘s review Edit Like Unlike

If you don't already have an iPod Touch and can't stand the thought of signing a contract with AT&T in order to get the iPhone, the new iPod Touch is a great all-around entertainment and productivity device. I find myself reaching for it constantly at the office, at home, and on the go, and the latest iPod Touch is likely to be on plenty of Christmas wish lists this year.

Everything is held together by the operating system and iOS4 software. Navigating your way round the device is as easy as ever – the Apple’s touchscreen makes rival devices seem cumbersome. Add into the equation user-friendly iTunes software and all the arsenal of music, videos, and apps it brings to your disposal and you don’t really need to look elsewhere. This is a first-class portable media player.

Despite its flaws the new iPod Touch is great. It's a good music and video player and it's useful for lots more. There's not much point if you already own an iPhone but anyone who wants the best bits of an iPhone without having to pay for a phone contract will find it excellent.

The iPod Touch is wildly popular for good reason. It's an extremely versatile device--media player; pocket gaming machine; productivity tool; Internet communication device; and, with this latest update, pocket camcorder, still camera, handheld recorder, and FaceTime video phone. While its cameras fail to produce results as good as the iPhone 4, they make FaceTime possible, which allows us to more easily forgive their less-than-pristine images and movies. Despite the cameras' weaknesses, this is a very good iPod Touch. If you have a third-generation Touch and lack an iPhone 4, this iPod's FaceTime capabilities may tempt you to upgrade.

With this fourth iteration of the iPod Touch, Apple brings sweeping upgrades, but not sweeping changes to their acclaimed media device. Those upgrades are fantastic: a powerful processor, more memory, a vastly better screen, all while maintaining excellent battery life. The few changes – the inclusion of two cameras – are a start in the right direction, but not the leap we’ve seen Apple take so many times before.

The new iPod Touch has improved music playback quality and the revised battery should deliver 40 hours of music or seven hours of video. You need to use iTunes to handle your media and that's not a fun experience but the hardware is a joy to use and the iOS 4.1 software is superb. We also love the new Retina display with its epic screen resolution. The biggest obstacle to buying a 4G iPod Touch is that you might instead buy an iPhone 4, provided you can stomach the hefty price tag and high monthly tariff. If you don't want to sign up for that sort of expenditure, or you wish to prevent your teenage offspring from running up a huge bill, then it's an iPod Touch for you.

The fourth-generation iPod touch undeniably represents a significant upgrade from my first-generation model. Whether or not the new features like the camera with video capture and the new Retina display make it a worthy upgrade from a second- or third-generation device is a more difficult question to answer at this point, and depends a great deal on your budget. If you don't already have an iPod touch and can't stand the thought of signing a contract with AT&T in order to get the iPhone, the new model is a great all-around entertainment and productivity device.

The new iPod Touch is the best dedicated music player that Apple has released to date. The 'Retina' display, iOS4 and the faster processor mean that listening to music, playing games and surfing the Web are easier and more enjoyable than with its predecessors.

The addition on the iPhone 4's A4 processor and Retina Display, alongside 720p video recording, FaceTime support and the lacklustre Game Center bring the iPod touch up to par with its call-making alternative. We'd like to see cheaper pricing, especially a more attractive entry-level model, but if you can afford it an iPod touch remains the best device in a category of one.

So is the iPod touch worth it? Relative to the iPod nano, it's a no brainer if you can stump up the extra cash. With the 8GB nano coming in at £129 and the 16GB model £159, the huge number of extra features you get with the touch makes it totally worth the extra money. Comparing it to the iPhone is more complicated, and ultimately, your choice will depend on what you want to use the device for. Remember that just because the iPod touch can't connect to mobile networks itself doesn't mean it can't be used as a phone or to browse the web when you're not within range of your Wi-Fi network. Certainly for occasional use, an iPod touch and a PAYG MiFi is far cheaper than buying the bottom-end iPhone 4 on PAYG. So comparing the touch to the other products in Apple's range, it offers remarkably good value for the incredible set of features you get with it.

The fourth-generation Touch makes an attractive upgrade from earlier versions, especially the first two editions that are not supported by some of the latest games and apps. The cameras and 960x640 display even offer a considerable incentive to jump from the faster third-generation model. Apple has kept the 8GB version alive, with the same $229 entry price to the world of iOS and the best iPod hardware. Jumping up to a reasonable capacity, 32GB, brings the cost up to $299, while the 64GB model fetches $399.

If you're looking to download new music or videos, there's a direct link to the iTunes storefront on the home screen of the iPod Touch, offering everything from albums and podcasts, to TV shows and movie rentals. The same storefront can be found inside the iTunes software on your computer (though the app version is much faster to load), and any purchases made either on the device or using the software all ultimately sync up back to your computer.

The already superb iPod touch gets its most significant update in years, adding photo and video capture, along with FaceTime video chat and an ultra-high-res display.

Our first impressions of the new iPod touch are extremely positive. It remains to be seen whether the camera deliver the performance we saw on the iPhone, and if they don't, is it an acceptable middle ground?
