...of IPod’s now. Developed by Apple Inc back in 2001, whom are possibly one of the biggest names in music technology, they have now released many different types of IPod’s, all of which are suited to a specific user. An IPod is a portable media player, it doesn’t run off AA or AAA batteries like MP3 players, it has a built in battery which you charge up using a number of different ways. The IPod Touch released in 2007 is a not only just a portable ... ...the sound to come through, Apple have not allowed that to happen with their items, and have just put almost a little black sticker on the back, which I believe covers the speakers. For the best sound quality, put you IPod facing up on a hard surface, the sound becomes a lot louder than if you just hold it in your hand. ==Battery Life==
It says on the website that the battery life for the IPod touch is up to 36 hours. Well, this is a load of crap, ...

...his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it!
From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, ... ...very intuitive. The Apple website states that:
"The revolutionary multi-touch technology built into the gorgeous 3.5-inch display lets you pinch, zoom, scroll, and flick with your fingers."
This is very true and it is actually enjoyable and fun to use the touch screen. My boyfriend has had his iPod Touch for over two weeks now and still gets excited about how it works!!
The main menu button, which is just below the touch screen, can be pressed ...

...you buy directly from an Apple store you can have your i-Pod personalised free. I would advise anybody who buys an i-Pod touch to buy some kind of protective pouch for it as after only a few weeks the chrome on mine looks very dull and smudged. The screen is very tough and so far has not showed any signs of wear which is reassuring. The i-Pod touch only has one button on the front of the player to switch it on and also acts as a back button when ... ...not a fan of the apple in ear headphones, the sound quality is reasonable and I find them really uncomfortable to use. Luckily the headphone jack is a standard size so you can use any brand of headphones but I do wish they provided better headphones either as standard or for an extra charge. The second method is using the inbuilt speaker within the i-Pod touch, this are not brilliant as it is simply not loud enough as when my daughter was playing ...

...the new iPod Touch!
Apple launched the first iPod Touch in September 2007. The 2nd Generation iPod Touch was later released in September of 2008 after the success of the first. It is currently available in three memory sizes; 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. It is available for both Mac and Windows systems.
Buying the iPod, I thought, would be a challenge. Since my Dad didn't actually know what the Touch was, it was up to me to find it for him. I had read a ... ...however it also states that Apple have not actually said this, so it is a feature I would not suggest used! Other than that, there are no real differences! However it does feel good to have an upgraded model from my friend, as I am usually the last to advance technologically! There are obviously going to be issues with this iPod. As it is touch screen, it will get covered in fingerprints quite quickly. However with a simple wipe of the cloth provided, ...

Apple IPod Touch 8GB
Apple has always been the forerunner in the field of MP3 players. I bought my first iPod 3 years ago, the iPod 4 GB mini, I was quite pleased at first but after a while the battery stopped working, but it remains to be seen whether or not this is the case with the Touch. I spent quite a while looking around for the best price, in the end I opted for eBay! I now think that I should've waited for the right one to come around, ... ...when I looked at the Apple website they were £199 so I saved £50 which was worth the risk on eBay as it often is. I also bought a case and an i-trip.

...I would have thought that Apple would offer you some inclusive accessories with the £170 iPod that you are buying, but really i was just a black thing in a small clear case.
On inspection of the item i realised that it is a very smart and very sleek bit of equipment, the iPod is really beautiful looking and the screen is just big enough
So I bought them, what I didn't know is that by doing so I am now the coolest sister ever apparently. I have ... ...is a phone...and guess what Apple have for that...the iPhone.
The screen on the iTouch is so perfectly clear that we tested is by having a look on google Earth and it was almost better than the computer I am typing on!

I have, however, found the solution to this problem - audiko.net provide free ringtones for iphones that is so easy to do. ===~Applications~=== The iphone offers a huge variety of applications many at a price but there's no way I would spend any money on those so I only use the free applications which I consider enough to keep you preoccupied.

It's not a brilliant camera so don't buy the phone for the camera but in all honesty, it is the best camera I've ever had on a phone which doesn't say very much for my past phones. It doesn't have a flash so it depends on natural light but it's an alright substitute for a digital camera at the moment (since I was stupid enough to get my old one waterlogged in a storm at the ...

...I walked into the apple shop that had recently opened up in Belfast, surrounded by the whole apple range I looked at a couple different models from the new 8 GB nano to the ipod classic. But my eyes finally came to a halt upon the shiny surface of the 8 GB ipod touch. I knew instantly that this was the present that I was to buy her. So I went to the counter, the cashier asked me what I wanted and I placed my order, at which point he turned his back ... ...into a high quality branded apple bag. Then I looked at my watch and I realised I had to rush back to work as my break was nearly over, so as I rushed through a busy Belfast full of Christmas shoppers, I thought I have the best present in the world in my hands. I got home and wrapped the box, which I may add was quite easy due to its small size and nature, and I placed the wrapped package back into its bag and hid it till Christmas day. When out ...

...little deluded in thinking that Apple would make it competitive enough that it wouldn't make a dent in most people's savings. So when they released it at £350 for an 8GB, I focused on the Touch instead.
