Buying the iPod Touch

Have you been looking for a portable media device that will allow you to watch movies and music videos on the go, but found yourself disappointed with the tiny viewing screens of most of the iPods and other portable media units? Well, the newest iPod has just been released that will change all of that - the Apple iPod touch.

The iPod touch has all of the powerful features you have come to expect from the iPod family - you can still download all of your favorite music, video, and image files directly from your home PC or Mac, and you can still sort your music however you want - by artist, genre, song title, or your own customized playlists. However, the iPod Touch contains several features that place it far above other portable media devices available on the market today.

First, the 3.5" viewing screen of the iPod touch covers nearly the entire front of the tiny unit. This allows you not only to view your movies and music videos, but to view them in amazing detail. How can a portable media device that is smaller than a deck of playing cards boast such a large viewing screen? Well, instead of using a touch wheel that takes up nearly half of the unit's face, Apple has incorporated the touch controls right on the screen. This not only allows for a larger viewing screen, but it enhances your ability to control your media - for example, you can zoom in and out while you are watching video by sliding your fingertips toward or away from each other.

In addition to having a large viewing screen, the iPod Touch also lets you browse, purchase, and download media on the go via its built-in WiFI capabilities. You'll never have to wait until you get back to your PC or Mac to search for new media to add to your iPod Touch!
