Just below - guest post our reader Maria. Maria writes about the first impression of iPod Touch (overview). Interest in this gadget falls, and reduced sales. Apple even decided this year to give students and pupils, who bought the Mac is not a music player as it was before, and a discount card. So either the apple company seriously improve the iPod touch, or gadget will eventually become the niche of "console for kids, which is too early to give a mobile phone."
Hello! I'm Masha. And I have been involved in the experiment "Meet the iOS!ยป. Our office is teeming with makovodov and eplomanami, and I somehow remained aloof from the general enthusiasm apple devices. In the end, and I decided to instruct "the right way" and gave the service iPod Touch with the instructions: to wear all the time with them, to swing a lot of applications (for free if possible), and to keep a diary.
The first disappointment of the iPod touch - is the lack of 3G-module. Internet it is only available on WiFi, but we in the points with free WiFi little, and I am in them rarely. WiFi at home there remains the office. And therefore I do not need applications such as Foursquare, Twitter for iPod, Facebook, and so on.
Music on the road, I do not listen to, but decided just this thing, and start listening to the podcast on a regular basis, "42". Download the latest release of your iPod. Not without difficulty, since the first time iTunes is not so easy to understand. And interefeysa that in iTunes, iPod Touch that never intuitive. I was lost in a huge number of icons, and did not get a finger to the right place. In the evening of the second day, I realized that you can not fall in love with Apple's, using the iPod Touch.
On the third day, I appreciated the quality of the photos with the iPod, they turn out perfectly. Also found out that he had as many as two cameras, so it is convenient to take pictures of yourself :) As I was bored with the usual photos outstretched hand, this function briefly cheered me. In addition, the camera is also in the phone, so to get a touch is not always convenient. Because iPod Touch is not always connected to the Internet, then immediately lost interest in applications such as Instagram. After all their charm to quickly take a photo and share it immediately with your friends. More to download several types of toys Talking Tom, in the evening with my brother amused, causing the cat to sing.
On the fourth day, I realized that I need the application to compile the list of cases and the analysis of their expenses. But convenient free application for accounting of expenses and I have not found, and the list continues to lead on paper, although minimalistic and download SmallTasks. I was playing sometimes in Angry Birds, but they always fly in the middle of the game (on the service iPod firmware installed fifth, probably this is the case).
In general, summing up, I would say that for me the iPod Touch was quite useless thing. I do not argue that this is probably the coolest handheld game console, but I'm not a big fan of games. For the money that it costs, I will never buy.
