Apple updates its iPod Touch each year, now iPod touch 4 is released, and what would be the differences compared with the previous generations. Some people even predict that iPod touch 4 would be a iPhone 4 just without phone function several weeks ago, but there will also be something new for us to expect, So as the announcement that apple has officially launched the brand new iPod touch 4, let’s take a look about the key feature of this brand new iPod touch .
First let's have a look of it’s design of the fourth generation. Now the design is not revolutionary new , but it is obviously much more lighter and thinner than previous generations. The iPod Touch 4 is now a mere 7.2 millimeters thin, featuring the engineered touchscreen glass front with a sleek stainless steel back.It still maintain s a sturdy feel with curved ,chromed steel backing and a slimmer taper at the edges than the first-generation version. However, the curve is not so pronounced as the previous generations, and it can lay flat without wabbling. Then there’s some small difference about the volume rocker, as now it has been split into two separate buttons. Another change is that the black antenna window on the back is gone, which make the fourth generation looks more delicate. And there is also a small speaker which joins the headphone and dock connection. So there is no doubt that the new iPod Touch 4 looks more stylish.
The biggest and exciting change of the fourth generation maybe is its’ camera. Perhaps before iPod touch 4 was been launched we all suspected that we were asking for too much when looking for both a forward facing camera as well as a camera at the back of the iPod Touch., but now it comes true. As the previous generation of iPod Touch does not come with a camera and has the same processor as the iPhone 3GS, so it is really an exciting news for all of the users that the new iPod Touch comes with two cameras, which means that Apple has included FaceTime to it's ipod touch. With FaceTime on the touch it would be much more convenient for iPod and iPhone users to contact with email or by making video calls. Besides,many features presented by iphone 4 also becomes possible for iPod touch 4, such as call in portrait or landscape, switch camera views, and pause video transmission while maintaining a voice connection. With the rear HD video camera, It becomes capable for users to capture still images, but the fourth generation uses a different sensor and also there's no flash. And it allows you to record HD (720p) video on your iPod Touch, and then using iMovie to edit the video right there on your iPod Touch before sharing it with the world if you want to. Like those old ones, you can also watch movies on your iPod touch 4. Just use a DVD to iPod converter, you can do that easily. If it is video, its a iPod movie converter.
Maybe weeks ago, you still believe that it was just a rumor that iPod touch 4 would come with Retina display, but now you have to believe. The new iPod Touch 4 has received the same display as the new iPhone 4. The Retine display brings a 960×640 backlit LCD display which packs an amazing 326 pixels per inch to the iPod Touch, making it officially the highest resolution iPod screen ever. I think this is another unique feature of ipod touch 4.
I believe the price of iPod touch 4 is also what we all concerned a lot. This time the pricing of it maintains the some at the high end, with a 32GB model going for $299, and a 64GB version for $399. The 8GB entry model is $229,but I believe most users would feel that it is matchable with it’s powerful function and stylish look.
