Well, i've finally crumbled and decided to purchase an Ipod touch, in spite of all the problems relating to the lcd screen i've been hearing. Let me tell you that I am nothing short of impressed at just how much this little guy can do.
Surfing: By far the most impressive facet about this device is it's surfing ability. Really, every mobile device i've used thus far to surf was really a joke. Crappy loads times, poor controls, web pages improperly displayed, you name it. Well kiss all that goodbye with this ipod. Surfing on this device is so smooth and beautiful. Pages load quickly off my wifi network and render just like how you would expect on a regular desktop. Then there's the bookmarks, and the elegant way you use two fingers to zoom in and out. Just beautiful. It took me a while to get accustomed to the keyboard interface but once you do, it feels very natural.
Music and video: You know those gimmicky ads they keep showing demonstrating the cover flow feature? Personally speaking, I kind of thought it was too good to be true. It seemed too smooth and fluid to be coming from a mobile device. Well let me tell you that it absolutely performs like how you see on their ads. It's a really cool way to browse through your library of music except now i've gotta find album covers for my entire library
. Videos look really good on this device and im fairly certain i don't have the muddy black color issue that's been plaguing the earlier launch models. I have week 47 if anyone's interested in knowing.
Altogether, a truly revolutionary device that really met and even blew away my own expectations :beer:.
