Apple iPod touch 32GB – Fantastic Not Only For Music But Also Organization

I like my Apple iPod touch 32GB, because not only does it have fantastic features for listening to music, like the Genius playlist feature, but it also has all the tools for keeping life organized. It syncs with my Google mail and calendar and I’m sure even more than I know about. Plus nearly all of the fantastic organizational apps work fantastic on Apple iPod touch 32GB as well as the iPhone.

I want to point out what is in the box you will receive, as packaged by Amazon. I got the iPod, the USB cable, a quick-start guide, an Apple sticker, a docking adaptor, and earbud headphones. There was not a stand to hold the iPod upright for watching videos, which is ok but somewhere I read that somebody got one of those.

Apple iPod touch 32GB – Just What I Expected!

I’ve had an iPod since they first came out and over the years have bought an iPod 15GB, iPod 30GB, iPod Nano (2nd Gen), and and iPod Nano (3rd Gen). When the new generation of Nanos came out I had originally plotted on buying one because of the features like the radio & camera but ultimately chose to go with the Apple iPod touch 32GB because of the ability to buy and play Apps (i’m a puzzle nut!). I’ve always bought my Apple iPod touch 32GB.

Directly from the Apple store and was a small worried to buy from Amazon but I’m so glad I did. I couldn’t pass up the price (184.99, no tax, and free shipping?! yes!) and my package arrived quickly and in perfect condition. To someone who’s never owned an iPod or a Mac the setup can be a small confusing but it’s pretty simple to figure it out. It’s been a month and I still haven’t had any issues with it. Like it!

Apple iPod touch 32GB – My First MP3 Player

I bought this Apple iPod touch 32GB through Amazon, and it was delivered quickly and packaged excellently. I was thrilled when I saw that the buy price was even lower than the Apple Store. In addition, I applied for the Amazon Visa to get an additional off my first buy. Apple iPod touch 32GB is my first MP3 player and I am enjoying it tremendously. I am still learning about different apps and how to download on iTunes.

Although iTunes has a tutorial, I don’t necessarily find it simple to use. But what I like about the iPod is that it keeps me organized because, by nature, I am very unorganized. It has a calendar, a place for friend’s information like birthdays, phone numbers, and e-mail. It has a calculator function, a clock. I can download a Bible, for heaven’s sake (LOL). I can carry it in my purse when I go to church.

It has a level app for handy husbands and I believe I can download a pedometer app. There are too many things to mention. I told my husband we could sell some of our stuff at a garage sale because there are so many handy things we can do with this. I like it!

Apple’s design sense has always been splendid; the iPhone 3G doesn’t break conformity. The first time you look at it; you’ll reckon iPod Touch on a high-stout diet. It’s better looking than its predecessor (the iPhone 2G). The black model we received was perfectly finished; thankfully the rear resists normal smudging and scratches. It’s not a very thick device but feels large to hold; although with a 3.5-inch screen this isn’t exactly a design flaw. Build quality is brilliant. Quality of buttons and switches on the device are top-class. Even the SIM tray fits flush; attention to detailing is very excellent.

The buttons on the sides, top and the headphone jack are chromed, and the black bezel and chrome trim add further visual appeal. Apple’s menu system is brilliant with the single main menu button being perfectly functional. The 3G’s appeal lies in its blatantly simple and usable interface and the sheer joy and funkiness of a touch and finger swipe navigation system that works flawlessly. The proximity sensor and low-light sensor work flawlessly.

The iPhone menus work well, but the on-screen keypad is a small small and you will make a few incorrect key taps for a month or so, which won’t please SMS junkies. The phones number pad is huge though; and you’d be a clod to goof up dialling numbers. SMS’ sent and received to and from a single number show up as a single entry with the last message exchanged as a preview; the rest of the messages are showed in small green conversation boxes that become visible on selecting the relevant entry; a novel concept that takes getting used to.

There is still no way to delete or select multiple messages. For some, the text entry box may also appear too small for practical use. If you try to edit a message after typing it out; the inbuilt magnifier helps as it magnifies the spot where your finger touches, but cursor navigation within the text body remains a tough affair. You also cannot save a typed out SMS as a draft, and the inbuilt email option allows you to save multiple email IDs and password information for uick use; though the on-screen keyboard raises its hideous head again to spoil the party.

Its Safari web browser is very basic — no support for Java or Flash. Copy/Pasting is also not supported — a serious omission. We also noticed that the touch interface works with fingers only, not a stylus or fingernails — ladies beware. If you reckon you can get a Bluetooth keyboard to make up for the on-screen keyboard, reckon again; the iPhone’s Bluetooth works with headsets only — no keyboard, and no file transfers.

The bundled GPS and Google Maps work well in tandem — better than Nokia Maps. Apple’s inbuilt scheduler and calendar work well; as excellent as any PDA. A lot of games come preinstalled, but there’s no serious office application with document and spreadsheet support. Some of these applications slow down the phone — huge time; though for the most part it’s honestly responsive.

The iPhone is a decent phone when it comes to signal quality — it’s a small behind Nokia’s best Mobile Phones in this regard. Voice quality is pretty excellent but the volume is a small low. Sadly the loudspeakers’ quality is very terrible — like a cheap CDMA unit — and a lot of distortion occurs when a voice call is place on loudspeaker. The headset looks like Apple’s earbud headphones but incorporates a small microphone unit that is compact enough to be easily missed. Voice quality on this handsfree unit is absolutely top notch; and the volume level is fantastic.

The claimed battery talk time is ten hours; not right, we measured this to be more like five hours.

MP3 quality is very excellent; no other Mobile Phone comes close. It has a gorgeous screen for video. Just make sure to ditch the bundled earplugs for music. Eight or 16 GB of inbuilt storage is enough for most; if it isn’t, you should remember that expansion is not an option. The camera is a mediocre 2 megapixels, and isn’t this phone’s forte — you can’t even record video!

Sadly, the Apple iPhone 3G only comes as part of a service provider’s scheme — you cannot buy it unless you’re an Airtel or Vodafone customer. Our device was provided by Airtel and is available for Rs 31,000 and Rs 36,100. The first 500 MB of data usage from Airtel is free, after which you pay a nominal charge of 30 paisa per 50 KB.
