iPod touch 5th generation customer review

The 5th generation Apple iPod touch (www.apple.com) continues to dominate the personal mp3 market with a device that goes well beyond being a music player. The device is available in three formats. A 16gb size that has stripped back the forward facing camera and available in black or silver. A 32gb device with a forward facing camera in a range of colours or the mighty 64gb device that is the same as the 32gb spec but with increased memory. The 5th gen all use the lightning bolt adapter with increased capacity allowing faster connectivity. This however is of less value than the wireless capabilities with the iPod touch more frequently connected via a wireless network than hard wired to a computer. They are incredibly slim and near weightless meaning a case is a must to preserve the integrity of something so beautifully crafted but delicate. The speed of the processing effectively means you have a mini computer in the palm of your hand capable of multi tasking handling even complex video editing functionality while simultaneously streaming music wirelessly and polling your email provider for updates. Battery life is relatively poor due to the perfect resolution screen and processing demands so don't stray too far from a power source. Wireless charging would be a nice addition but currently not available. Airplay and full access to the App Store are all fully featured on the touch opening the gateway to millions of applications. Favoured by kids this marvel should not be discounted as a toy but a powerful iPhone equivalent minus the 3G phone functionality. Epic in every sense and too good for the kids!
