Everything USB posted a review on the iPod touch 4



In the Personal Media Player arena, one company certainly has quite the enviable reputation: Apple. Whether or not you drink the Apple flavored (and branded and trademarked) Kool-aid or not, they do have a tendency to produce highly polished user EXPERIENCES; and wrap them in some of the prettiest packages going. Is the all new Apple iPod touch 4 a continuation on the venerable iPod name or is it nothing but hype? Let's find out!

The Verdict:
The new iPod touch is a worthy successor to the third generation model. It is faster, lighter, more responsive and all round better than its predecessor! Highly recommended if you are a simple, intuitive touch based device, even if it comes with garbage headphones.

The Good:
+ Small & lightweight
+ Extremely responsive
+ Razor sharp screen
+ Intuitive interface
+ Dual cameras including front facing camera
+ Great gaming
+ Excellent battery life
+ Good WiFi performance
+ Wifi + mic + Skype app = "poor mans" iPhone without a contract!

The Bad:
- Glossy screen reflects lots of ambient light
- Not the same IPS panel as the new iPhone
- Screen AND body is a FINGERPRINT magnet
- Requires iTunes to load media on to it
- Low resolution cameras
- Storage is not upgradeable
- Not compatible with 3rd gen cases
- Battery is not easily end user replaceable
- Short warranty
- Increased price over past model
