Ratings across categories and features :
The touch screen and the motion sensor : these are the two cool additions to the ipod touch by apple.earlier ipods didnt have both of them.the touch screen is simply a beauty while the motion sensor has been designed in an innovative way.it feels great to handle the ipod.sites can be zoomed into using your fingers (i love doing this!). Stand-by time (locked state) : 300 hours.
Just lock your ipod and believe me it consumes lesser power.if you keep switching it on and off, it consumes more power.
Music : this is one of the best things the ipod was made for.music is truly an amazing experience.the sound quality is good, speakers are not to loud and the earphones are perfectly modelled.really comfortable to listen to music.while you play music, it displays the name of the song, artist and the album on file and its arranged quite well. Audio playback time : 30 hours.
Videos: you can directly play videos from youtube on the itouch.the screen automatically becomes wide and you also have a zoom in option for videos.streaming videos is really easy and fast.you just have to wait for a minute (depends on your internet connection) and then you’ll be able to watch vids without any breaks. Video playback time : 6 hours. .
Wifi : This is the most useful addition for me..wifi gives you direct access to the internet.you can surf the net, watch vids on youtube, download apps directly and almost everything using wifi. But this takes lot of power and hence battery can get depleted in just 3 hours! Wi-fi time : 3-9 hours.
Games : games are awesome to play with.this is mostly because of the motion sensors.racing and mind games are the best ones available for itouch. I am currently experimenting with this part, so will update as and when required.you have to download games and applications from the itunes app store.
Lots of variety available and most of them are free!
Game play : 3:20 hours.
