Apple iPod Touch 2G

iPod Touch, the most popular player of the moment

Since the last update, the iPod Touch has become the most successful player of the moment. Firstly, the chiselled look is a real success with only one button on the wafer to adjust the volume without passing through the screen. The latter is of good quality, with an appropriate definition and good color rendering. The interface is a model of its kind and a formidable one when combined with touch screen that responds to perfection. The selection of songs can be done with custom filters by artist or album, but more importantly, the iPod has brought the navigation Cover Flow. The album covers are displayed in landscape mode which cycles through the finger as you would with vinyl. Like the iPhone, iPod Touch can receive a multitude of free or paid software that installs directly via the WiFi connection.

Web browser successful too

The Web browser is also very successful with a landscape display and a zoom that active fingertips. Add to that a customer e-mail and iPod Touch becomes a perfect Internet tablet. There remain some limitations due to a tight lock on the part of Apple. Firstly, it does not recognize DivX and you have to convert your videos. In addition, the iPod Touch is the only player who is not used as external storage device. Finally, the USB port is in a proprietary format. Remember to bring your cable to recharge it on vacation, even if autonomy is excellent. A player whose price is unbeatable, however the height of his talent.
