During the summer of 2009, I bought an iTouch and I love it. Introduction I do not own an iPhone or a BlackBerry. I bought an iTouch for summer vacation 2009, I wanted to be able to check my e-mail without taking my laptop. I purchased the cheapest iTouch (current price around $229) and I not only was able to check my e-mail and surf the Internet (using my condo's Wi-Fi connection), but I also began discovering the world of apps, which led to the addition of a focus on apps on this web site. Easy to use At my urging, my father also purchased an iTouch around the same time and used it to check e-mail in Europe while on vacation. He dislikes new technology, but he found the iTouch easy to use. This made me happy because one of my unpaid jobs in life is serving as his 24/7 tech support. The basics The Apple iTouch looks just like an iPhone. It is classified as an iPod, but it can do two things that other iPods cannot. First, it can run apps. Second, it can access the Internet via a Wi-Fi connection. New features for iTouches released in September 2010 FaceTime FaceTime brings video calling to iPod touch. So now you can see your friends and talk to them. Retina display The remarkable 960-by-640 resolution on iTouch makes everything you see and do on it look even more incredible. HD video recording iTouch lets you record, edit, and share stunning HD video. And because it’s always with you, you'll never miss a great video op. Even better gaming The A4 processor helps give you even more amazing gaming. And Game Center lets you play against friends anywhere in the world. iTouch vs. iPhone comparison Features The iTouch allows you to run apps just like an iPhone unless a particular app has a feature that needs constant Internet access. An example would be a map app that uses GPS to track where you are on the map. But the vast majority of apps sold do not require constant Internet access. Internet access The iTouch allows you to check e-mail or surf the Internet as long as you have Wi-Fi access. For example, on summer vacation, my condo had Wi-Fi access. But if it had not, I could have gone to Starbucks or McDonalds. The iPhone can access the Internet even when there is no Wi-Fi access. Cost The best feature about the iTouch is the cost. For around $229, you can purchase an iTouch and this is a one time cost. The iPhone is probably going to cost you $100 per month or more. Where to purchase an iTouch You can purchase an iTouch from a local retailer like Wal-Mart or online. The Apple web site offers free engraving.
