I have been looking into the development of iPods for quite some time now, but I am very sorry to tell you that still it has not been able to impress me to that extent so that I get up and say “I got to get one”. I have been having a closer look at these iPods, specially the Apple ones through acquirements of my friends.

Although I was against it, yet my cousin brother, just 12 years, made a mess of my observations and went for it. In fact what he had to say was that I was to conservative about money and once I had a look at it and listen to it, my ideas will change and with it he will prove that my observations were wholly technical and not based on practical experience. Again, I repeat I’m sorry it is very good even fantastic but no point going ga ga over it. Simply because I’m not prepared to compromise with Touch’s or, for that matter, any iPods, almost one hundred percent dependency on iTunes for synchronization of the music. It’s exactly this particular basic drawback that has put me right off from buying an iPod even if it’s the celebrated Apple iPod Touch 16 GB (2nd Generation).

I agree 200% that it’s the best available dedicated media player. Excellent looks, slick layout, great in fact unmatchable software options, even great audio quality, yet it has failed to impress me at an aspect which matters, at least to me, most. The frequency is very flat meaning thereby, it does not emphasize on any group of frequencies, add very little noise, cross talk is perfect but it’s out put power is low, which naturally gives massive problems with big headphones that could have lower ceiling on their maximum volume potential which is a disadvantage. I don’t know the reason but headphone accompanying it is, to use a single term, bad. Yes bad.

It is dubbed as the “funnest iPod ever”, agreed it has all in it, music, videos, photos, podcasts, e-mail, Web browsing, Internet radio, games, Nike+, Wi-Fi music downloads, and an App Store for adding thousands of custom features. Fine, no disagreement there. It’s a portable device with great screen, big, bright and scintillating, remarkable battery life, lots of programs available. Now here again no bluetooth, a separate iTune software is required at that. It’s got a fabulous equalizer but the problem is you can not customize it to your requirement.

Now let me be very explicit, it has got a great interface and allows multiple touch points of contact at a time so you get more option compared to most MP3 player with a touch screen. The hardware is excellent, no doubt. If you are really bent on buying an iPod, just get it you won’t feel bad. That’s a promise. But if you are looking for real quality music go for the traditional stuff.

What ever be the drawbacks it’s a quality product, I may have problems but you should not at $299 or slightly less.

Just check out, hope you would convince me to get one. Happy listening.
