| | | | Top Ten Reasons why the iPod Touch is the Best mp3 Player | |
- Compatibility with iTunes - Let's face it, iTunes rules the digital music download world (at least the legal digital download world. Compatibility with the iTunes Store alone puts the iPod touch ahead of other mp3 players; however there are many other iPods compatible with the iTunes Store, but because the iPod Touch has video capability on a screen that is larger than the other iPods, the whole wide range of content on iTunes can be easily enjoyed on the iPod Touch.
- Sleek Design - The sleek design of the Apple iPod Touch makes it a favorite among many music enthusiasts. The multi-touch screen allows for incredible flexibility. You access features by tapping on the screen rather than pressing down on physically molded buttons-again, a sleek design.
- Functionality beyond Music and Video - The iPod Touch also lets you access the internet (if in the vicinity of a wireless network). The Safari browser on the iPod Touch lets you view pages on the Internet as you would if you were on your home computer. Many mobile devices display dumbed-down versions of web pages because they simply can't display the whole website on a tiny screen. The iPod Touch makes viewing pages easy because you can zoom in the view closer to the page so that the text is readable on the webpage.
- Applications - The iPod Touch now features the ability to run 3rd-party applications (which means you can play games. Control of the games is made even more exciting because the iPod Touch can detect when it is being rotated making flying games a lot of fun.
- Work Applications - If your company uses Exchange, the iPod Touch will let you synchronize, read, and send emails (when connected to a wireless internet access point). You can look at attachments that have been sent by email as well.
- Thin, Thin, Thin - The design of the Touch is not only sleek, but thinner than many mp3 players of comparable size. This makes it easy to put in a pocket, carry around, or store.
- Accessories - There are some great looking cases for the iPod touch. Many mp3 players can look goofy in a protective case, but the iPod Touch has a great line-up of fantastic cases. (Okay, the armbands for the iPod Touch look a little weird, but they do the job).
- An iPhone without the "Phone" - Although the two are different, the iPod does fill the need for those who want an iPhone, but don't want a contract with a carrier that is not their current one.
- Ability to Type - Check out other mp3 players and you'll see. There just isn't much out there than can compete with the on-screen keyboard of the Touch. The keyboard makes it easy to type an email when you're on the go or take a quick note to remember something.
- It's Apple - No, serious, Apple's reputation for quality, reliability, stability, style, and support is legendary. Apple makes quality products, and when it's Apple, it's cool.
