While the new IPOD TOUCH has some great features (Nice OS, Touch Screen Capabilities, WiFi, Web Browsing) is seems, much like the IPHONE, it has an unacceptable Achilles heal. Having only 16GB of storage for Music and Video is more than rather limiting. Remember that with a bigger screen, the size of the Video Files will also be bigger if the user wants to maintain the same quality.
Why would Apple release a PHONE/Communications device where it takes at least 5 steps to make a phone call, the phone quality isn’t that great, and the internet speed is slow?? For many a review, they said it was probably the best IPOD better and not much more than an average phone.
Now they release the IPOD touch with again does a bit of everything slightly well, but doesn’t excel at any one thing in particular.
At 399 for 16GB, I will probably wait until they at least release a 32GB model for the same price. Until then, the “Classic Ipod” with 80GB and a smaller, better-built design seems like the much better value for one’s money.
16GB for 399?
