iPod iTouch – My Research

November 7, 2008 on 10:06 am | In technology | 8 Comments

iTouchMy daughter is wanting the Apple iPod iTouch for Christmas.  So, I’ve started my research to find out what the iTouch has to offer and what the prices are.

The iTouch is now in its 2nd generation which means its been updated, but also that it may not fit in older docking stations, including the Bose Sound dock that my daughter uses for her iPod Nano.  That’s a definite down side.

The iTouch is available in 3 different sizes all of which have a 3.5″ touchscreen display. They also all have wireless internet, supporting sites such as YouTube and Facebook and can be used anywhere there is a WiFi connection. Just like an iPod, the iTouch has Mp3 capability and also allows for downloading and viewing of movies and television shows.  In addition, the iTouch allows for game play with hundreds of games available from the Apple store.

The differences in size mean the differences in the amount of data that can be stored and a difference in price.

  • 8 GB – 1,750 songs, 10 hours of video, priced around $229
  • 16 GB – 3,500 songs, 30 hours of video, priced around $299
  • 32 GB – 7,000 songs, 40 hours of video, priced around $399

The iTouch can be used with headphones or without and comes with a built in speaker.  If you purchase a new iTouch you will receive the iTouch, earphones, a USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth (to shine up the silver casing) and a quick start guide.

The only downside (besides possibly not fitting in currently owned docking stations) is that it is only available in silver/black as pictured.

  3. I love how your niece just casually slipped that in there! Thankfully, we have enough cc reward points that we won’t have to pay any cash for the iTouch, otherwise, I’m not sure our daughter would be getting it for Christmas. It’s also the only item on her wish list. :-D

  4. Chrystal – Yes, I think it’s nice too. BTW, if you want back links for your merchant site, feel free to contact me. I do provide links for a fee and I’m more than happy to negotiate with you.
