A thrilling Multifunktionsgerät

I wanted primarily an MP3 player with excellent sound. What I got in the end Apple is an excellent multi-function device, which allows you to have a lot of fun. And useful features are included on top.

The iPod Touch 4G is supplied in three versions, 8, 32 and 64GB. I recommend frankly the 32 GB, since you very quickly the capacity of iPods ausreizt if one z. B. Nav Apps (approximately 1GB of memory needed) installed or want to install a comprehensive music library. You should also keep in mind that at the 8GB already on it is a proper number for the operating system. Supplied headphones (solid, but could be better by the sound), a laughably thin operating instructions, a cable to connect the iPod Touch to the computer and that's it. I recommend the same mitzubestellen also a simple case, namely this one: mumbi pocket Case iPod Touch 4G G4 Case - for little money (about 5 euros) you get a very chic, well-made bag.

The operation is very simple. The device has on the outside controls for the volume and a power switch. The home button on the top is effectively the nerve center for the iPod. It maintains a always, no matter what app or in which program you are back to the home screen just. A double click leads to a multitasking function in your iPod, here you can see active apps, you also can end at any time.

Filling the iPod is probably the stumbling stone for many users, because without iTunes running anything. And that's really solved very awkward. With a little practice you have also done it in a short time. The first launch is quick of hand, in few minutes you can use the device fully operational. Then carried out the synchronization with the PC or Mac in iTunes. This is also pretty fast, but the service is a horror. Here you should previously inform adequately on the Apple side. Contrary to many claims, it is incidentally quite possible for free to log into the App Store, without giving his credit card number. So you can then also use a lot of free apps. How to do this, you can learn here: [...] I recommend in any case to install iBooks and then once downloading the iPod Touch Manual and read.

The display of the iPod Touch 4G is a dream. Both films as well as graphics and photos are displayed in an outstanding quality. At the touch gestures you hardly feel the surface of the display, a very pleasant feeling. One must not push large, rich light touch, so it must be.

The films are played in top HD quality. Some information for storage: A well-compressed video in HD quality from about 1 1/2 hour game time is approximately 1 GB of space on the iPod Touch. However, the screen is quite small, so too long films you should not play well. The fatigued before their eyes, and to keep the iPod permanently in his hand is also someday tiring.

The sound quality of the speaker is poor to say the least, but as expected you also I do not think much. But for the Nav app from TomTom it will do just fine, the instructions are clear and understandable over. About headphones listening pleasure is but impeccable. The way to navigate through the music is solved exemplary user-friendly.

There are a variety of free apps, games to useful apps for the iPod. Just look out for the free apps in the store, as you will soon find (and addictive). Some useful apps are to have even a price below 1 Euro. The nav app from TomTom but fails with 60 euros.

Keyword Book: Reading on iPad Touch is a real treat. Thanks to the Retina displays all letters (whether on web pages, PDFs or eBooks) presented clear. So it must be. Since reading is fun. iBooks also comes with useful bookmark functions.

The "Keypad" is a bit strange at first but thanks to the good touch screens quite quickly under control. Especially when one considers the iPod Touch horizontally is writing slightly out of hand.

The iPod Touch can dial in WLAN networks and connect to the Internet. The Safari browser is concise and easy to use. It can also open multiple windows and navigate a very useful function. The view is good, via zoom gesture you always keep track of the Datails. Cloudy, Flash content does not display the iPod Touch, but that's to get over.

The load times are surprisingly low, in less than 2 hours the unit is recharged. Electricity consumption also seems to be very low, if you mainly listen to music. For other activities (apps, games, movies) the battery is already fast but prone to because you have to recharge already within 12 hours. But the device is indeed intended primarily for listening.

Conclusion: The iPod Touch is an expensive device, yes. But considering what you get delivered everything, then the price is definitely worthwhile. On the go you have the iPod not only his entire music library, but also the same office, calendar, games console, bookstore and even a spirit level, compass or flashlight (with the appropriate apps). I would recommend this device without hesitation any - despite an annoying iTunes control.
