iPod Touch

Ive recently invested in an iPod Touch. I decided to upgrade from my Product Red Nano that i bought with my first paycheck from work! I needed more space than the 8GB and thought the iPod touch would be the logical option.

I realise the Touch is somewhat old news but thought i would share my thoughts on it nevertheless. I have always admired the design of the iPod and Apple products in general. I have followed Jonathan Ives' work at Apple for a few years now, ever since i did a case study for GCSE Product Design. I like the simplicity of the appearance yet admire how complex the technology is.

I think the interface of the iPod Touch is amazing and love the touch screen. I think the OS is very impressive and i have had no problems with crashing, freezing etc. I was however disappointed with the extent to which the interface can be customised themes, icons, colours etc. The fact that you could only download Apple approved apps was also a negative, because of this i decided to jailbreak my iPod, this gave me a lot more freedom to customise the iPod to how i want it.

WiFi is a fantastic feature and has become extremely useful for quickly checking things out on the web. The web based apps Facebook, MSN, Google Maps, Email etc are very convenient to have to hand.

Better way to spend 200 quid?
