Touch
Hey all you iPod lovers! I've got some great news for you today. There's
a new version of the ever popular Apple iPod coming out and let me tell
you, it is jammed packed with amazing features. Let's get to checking
it out right now, shall we?!
As all of you probably
already know, Apple recently released a cell phone called the iPhone.
It featured some snazzy touch-screen navigation, which means you can select
options and features on the iPhone screen with just a quick touch of your
finger. Well, the new iPod, named the iPod Touch, features
that same touch-screen navigation as well! That's right, you can now say
good-bye to the scroll wheel, because you won't be needing that anymore!
This is what the iPod Touch looks like:
The new iPod features
a crystal clear 3.5 wide-screen display, which is great for watching movies,
as well as, navigating through your music. You'll be able to navigate
in a whole new way with the new Cover Flow feature. The Cover Flow allows
you to browse your music collection by album art. Another new feature
you may have noticed on the iPhone is the Accelerometer. Well, that's
available on the iPod Touch as well. The Accelerometer detects when you
rotate the iPod and it automatically changes the contents of the display
so that you can see the movie or album art with the proper aspect ratio.
Cool!
The iPod Touch also
packs in some other powerful features. For instance, WiFi surfing! You
guessed it, you can now surf the Internet with the built in Safari browser.
And that's not all. You can also connect to the iTunes Music Store where
you can purchase new songs with just a simple tap. Another cool feature
is if you walk into a Starbucks coffee shop, for example, you can see
the last 10 songs that were played in the store. You then have the opportunity
to download them all if you wish!
Finally, one last
feature for all you video lovers out there. The iPod Touch lets you watch
YouTube videos right on your iPod. I think that's super cool, don't you?!
This new iPod has
everyone buzzing. It's expected to be available to the public on September
28, 2007, which is right around the corner. You can find a lot more information
on how to pre-order an iPod Touch for yourself right on Apple's Web site
here. Enjoy!
