iPod series is not Apple’s favorite in current time even it did change the traditional music mode and the whole music industry, because that happened about ten years ago, people are not attracted by iPod nano, iPod shuffle any more, not like before. However, that’s exactly why iPod touch is still chased by Apple fans and the amount of iPod touch users is keeping increasing.

Considering iPod series’ contributions, Apple doesn’t want to give it up. After all, it was iPod who saved Apple inc. ten years ago. But time is changing, people pay more intention to iPhone and iPad, it seems like iPod nano and iPod shuffle are outdated just like another players that weeded out because of appearance of iPod. So Apple has to figure it out how to save iPod, the result is iPod touch, which is called by Apple person “iPhone without phone”. It’s easy to understand, iPod touch has the same functions as iPhone, it’s just users can’t make a phone call with it, literally.

Whatever apps that can be run in iPhone, they are available on iPod touch too, no matter all kinds of accessories or games. Moreover, there are many especial tools for iPod touch, such as ipod to computer software, which is designed specially for iPod touch users to protect the files in iPod touch in case deleting them by accident. Compare to iPhone, the biggest advantage of iPod touch is the price, we all know that it’s much cheaper than iPhone. To enjoy the same experience with cheaper price, who won’t want it?

The latest iPod touch models have two cameras, one on the front and one on the back. They can make Facetime video calls to other current iPod touch devices, iPhone 4 handsets and Macintosh computers running Mac OS X 10.6.4 or later. The camera also gives you the chance to capture and edit HD video using your iPod touch. The mp3 player now has a retina display with four times more pixels on the screen than previous iPod touch models.

If you are new Apple user, you hardly can distinguish the iPod touch and iPhone just looking at the picture, what I said iPod touch is “iPhone without phone” is not totally right, because there are many apps can help you turn iPod touch to iPhone, like Skype, which is the most familiar video chat software for us.

Of course, the features of iPod touch are more than what I listed, if you decide to own one, you should know how to transfer music from ipod to computer, because maybe you will delete these files in your iPod touch by accident that have cost you lots of money, so it’s better to make a backup to other devices.

Most of us can afford an iPod touch, so for those people who are really obsessed with Apple devices, iPod touch is the first and best choice. Even iPhone and iPad dominate the headline of all kinds of new, but you can believe that Apple has further expectations on iPod touch, so more benefits will come to iPod touch users.
