iPod Touch 4 Review
Apple chief executive officer, Steve Jobs, announced during his company’s September 1 event that iPod touch 4 was available for pre-order starting that day, and that the players would ship the following week.
2. It battery holds up well, Apple claims, allowing users to enjoy up to 40 hours of music playback and seven hours of video playback on a single battery charge.
“We’ve put our most advanced technology inside the new iPod touch,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, in a press release issued September 1, 2010.
“Whether you’re listening to music, playing games, making FaceTime video calls, browsing the web, capturing HD video or watching TV shows and movies, the new iPod touch with its Retina display, A4 chip and 3-axis gyro is more fun than ever,” Mr. Jobs added.
3. Most notably, with the new front-facing camera and mic, iPod touch users can make FaceTime video calls over Wi-Fi. iPod touch users can even call or receive calls from iPhone 4 owners.
4. The new iPod touch costs $229 for the 8GB model, $299 for the 32GB model and $399 for the 64GB model.
iPod Touch 4 New Features
The new iPod touch is packed with new features including Apple’s Retina Display, FaceTime video calling - thanks to the addition of not one, but two built-in cameras, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 chip, a 3-axis gyro, and iOS 4.1 with Game Center.
FaceTime comes to iPod touch. Don’t just say hello. Smile.
Video calling is in full effect on iPod touch. Now your friends can see what you’re up to, when you’re up to it. With the tap of a button, you can wave "hi" while standing in a foreign country, get a second opinion on a pair of boots, or have your friends bear witness to the everyday pranks, bets, and dares they otherwise might have missed — new iPod touch to new iPod touch or iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. And come face to face with even more fun.
Tap for a more instant, instant message.
Take “LOL” to the next level and actually see friends laughing. Or bring “XOXO” to life when you blow someone a kiss from miles away. FaceTime on iPod touch makes it possible. FaceTime works right out of the box — just enter your Apple ID and email address. Or create a new email account just for FaceTime. Using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Say you want to start a video call with your best friend over Wi-Fi. Just tap the FaceTime app and find her entry to start the call. An invitation pops up on her iPod touch or iPhone 4 screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, FaceTime begins. It’s all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape. See how much fun you can have.
Two cameras make either side its fun side.
iPod touch has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm’s length. So it always presents you in the best possible light. Which is particularly handy when you’re talking to someone who’s more than just a friend.
The back camera. See and share.
So your roommate had to work late and couldn’t make it to the concert. You can share the encore with a FaceTime call. As the band takes the stage and starts playing one of her all-time favorite songs, just tap a button. And before the lead singer can belt out his first note, iPod touch switches to the back camera and to the sure-to-be-legendary performance. Another tap switches to the front camera and to you. Simple, fast, and fun.
