The Apple’s Ipod Touch – a new experience in user interface and mobile application interface.

Apple’s new iPod Touch seems to be falling between two categories of electronics devices. It looks like an iPhone, but it does not include a phone and do not have several of the other iPhone features, such as a camera and Bluetooth. But similarly the iPod Touch neither looks nor acts like a traditional iPod, and offers only a fraction the memory capacity of a similar-sized iPod Classic, but it performs iPod functions.

The iPod Touch’s wireless feature is somewhat confusing. It is obviously meant for selling iTunes content. Up till January 2008, the WiFi incidentally provides Web access via a special version of Safari and a YouTube application, but email was absent. This is however been upgraded as of January 2008 (see below statement).

So we look at a hybrid device which can not replace the integrated combinations found in the iPhone, such as camera, phone and media player. It can not replace an iPod Nano as the small music player or an iPod Classic holding 160 GB of material. We find it serves as an introduction to Apple’s new “multi-touch” user interface.

This introduction will cost you $299, for the 8GB model, or $399 for the 16GB version.

Apple announced a major software upgrade for the iPod Touch, making iPod into even more than previously, namely the top of the line Wi-Fi mobile device. iPod Touch have the an advanced mobile web browser with Safari, and now Apple adds five more great mobile applications such as Mail, Maps, Stocks, Weather and Notes. The iPod Touch software upgrade also includes new features such as Web Clips, a customizable home screen and the ability to watch iTunes Movie Rentals. New iPod Touch products shipping from the factory will include the software upgrade and existing iPod Touch customers can get the software upgrade for $19.99 by purchasing and downloading it from iTunes (www.itunes.com).
