Pretty much the same as iPhone 4

xxch3yxx has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

This iPod is very similar to the iPhone 4. The only major differance is theres no calling and phone signal or 4g. Overall, its a very quick and handy iPod. My only complaints are that the screen breaks way too easily even with a case. Also, photos can turn out very grainy, not so much in natural light though. Overall, its a wonderful device!

iPhone 4 without 3G, siri, and GPS

vincelongman has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

With Wifi it is nearly iPhone 4.
Great for Internet, iOS is fast, Display is great, Music player is very good, AppStore still the best, Battery life is long.
But video playback is limited, iOS isnt as customizable, screen is small, must use iTunes for sync, camera quality is poor.

Build quality 7/10 Back is made of a metal that is far too soft, I always have my case but the back is covered in scratches.

Reception 7/10 Wifi reception cut off if you dont use it

Call quality 1/10 only microphone is on back and not that great

Internet 8/10 Great, good battery life while on Internet. But small screen.

Multimedia 5/10 Great music player, but no manual equalizer. Video player can only play a very limited videos formats. Also you have to use iTunes to sync which is slow.

Camera 5/10 Poor quality, only 0.7 megapixel

UI speed 9/10

Everyday usage 9/10

Text input 7/10 Small screen makes keyword harder to use, more typos

Display 9/10 Great brightness, colour reproduction, decent black levels, high pixel density. But light leaks.

Battery 9/10 Great for average usage, I sometimes I accidentally leave music playing in the background for nearly 5 hours, uses just over 30%. But drains quickly when play a heavy game, for example FIFA 13 uses battery up in about 30 minutes

Pros

• Retina Display
• AppStore
• Jailbroken iOS
• Great music player
• Good CPU
• Small size and very thin
• Good design
• Many compatible accessories

Cons

• iOS
• Must use iTunes sync
• Limited video playback
• No GPS
• Camera quality
• Small screen
• No file bluetooth transfer

great device

tggoulart has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

The iPod touch is absolutely amazing, it is just like the iPhone 4 but it doesn't have 3G and doesn't make calls, and it costs only 200 dollars. There are some nice features like the HD 720p recording, retina display A4 1ghz processor, imessage, game center, facetime, and it will be upgraded to iOS 6 which is great. After a long time with it, it became a little slower on the speed UI and the battery life gone bad, the worst of it is that it doesn't have a memory ezpansion. But however the app store has more than 600000 apps I can't complain fort that! Conclusion: it's a very good device for the the price, its time has been gone (it was launch in 2010, long time passed) but it is still a good device and I hope apple will launch a new one on September!!!

Build quality 8/10 Super thin but a little bit insecure

Reception 8/10

Call quality 5/10 The speakers are quite bad

Internet 10/10 Really fun browsing on internet, it is just super smoothly

Multimedia 9/10 Many resources from iTunes and the music app is good but could have more thing like the equalizer

Camera 6/10 Back camera really bad for taking photos but the video recording is good

UI speed 7/10

Everyday usage 7/10

Text input 10/10 I like it a lot!

Display 10/10

Battery 5/10

Pros

• retina display
• 1ghz processor
• 720p video recording
• really good text input
• iOS 6
• low cost

Cons

Simple and cute.

sandu92 has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

Well this was my first Apple device, and it felt cool to have it. You could immediately feel that cool look. Well all the Apple products seem very shiny and fashion.
But nothing more than that. I feel more comfortable with Android because I'm an advanced user.
But I think it's a good device. Right now I gave it to my mom cuz it's a simple device and I think she likes it a lot (now she can also use Yahoo messenger and speak to relatives). This little cutie can be used even by people who never touched smart devices. Easy!!!!

Build quality 8/10

Reception 10/10 Good Wifi reception.

Call quality 9/10 Good stuff.

Internet 9/10

Multimedia 10/10 Apple has always been very shiny in this sector.

Camera 8/10 It's alright.

UI speed 6/10 Hmm. After some months it starts to delay and get "rusty".

Everyday usage 8/10 It's nice. But I feel very limited.

Text input 9/10 Yea it's cool.

Display 9/10 Good looking.

Battery 8/10 It's good.

Pros

• Easy to use.
• Simple UI.
• Good looking.
• Fashion.
• Nice Wifi Reception.

Cons

• No Flash Player.
• Very limited!
• Multitasking

IPod Touch 4Gen

wolverinexmen9 has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

IPod Touch 4Gen, White, 32GB (as of 7/15/2012: software on 5.1.1) I bought the Ipod Touch for manly music. Now I use it everyday. It's like an IPhone but you can only use wifi when available and it doesn't have calling. It's also like an IPad but you can put it in your pocket (cough cough). ITunes backs up all my stuff (pictures, contacts, notes, games, messages, calendar, videos, etc...) Camera is very low megapixels (0.7 back, 0.3 front) After a year or more the home button becomes a little pushed down (settings, general, accessibility, assistivetouch: turn on for on-screen home button) Use the messaging app with some friends, very useful (can only text Ipod, IPhone, & IPad users) I set up facetime but none of my friends want to face chat (can't review that part, neither can I review iCould) Depending on what you use it for the battery will depend also. I can go 2 days before it dies and that's just music alone. Games kill battery really quick, somewhere between 2 to 4 hours on one game (have a charger near by) Turn off Location to save battery. Bluetooth doesn't work with my Android Phone so must work with only apple products. Safari (web browser) crashes a lot if on internet for a long time or big websites. App Store is very nice. Game Center comes in handy with playing games with friends. I would recommend this to a friend. *NOTE: (Did NOT jailbreak it)

Build quality 9/10

Reception 9/10

Call quality 1/10 Not a phone

Internet 8/10

Multimedia 8/10

Camera 2/10 1: Because it has a camera(0.7) 2: Because it has a front-facing camera(0.3)

UI speed 9/10

Everyday usage 9/10

Text input 9/10 Just like IPhone

iPod touch - A bit less that an iPhone minus the phone

kangaskhan9 has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

The iPod touch 4 is a great overall device, packing a decent battery, great screen (while not as great as the iPhone's), two cameras, and the iOS ecosystem. But it's hampered by its inherent attraction to scratches, low resolution camera, and other minor omissions that won't be missed by most people, but become glaring omissions to more advanced users like me.

Build quality 7/10 Very solid (given due to the bar design) But the back is a scratch magnet :( and the glass screen doesn't like falls, as many of my peers' iPt4's have broken screens.

Reception 1/10 Not a phone cannot judge

Call quality 1/10 No phone component, can't judge

Internet 9/10 Good browser and app selection. some minor annoyances, but works, and works well.

Multimedia 10/10 It's an iPod, of course multimedia is good

Camera 5/10 No Auto-focus No optical zoom No LED flash Low resolution (.7 MP) shoots good video

UI speed 8/10 Apple put a lot of work to make sure iOS works fast. It does, and lag and loading times are well disguised. No true multitasking though, don't expect a 3D game to still be open when you leave it. Most tasks are meant to be instantly easy to use, which is a double edge sword. +: Easy. -: cumbersome

Everyday usage 9/10 Great for the average joe, but the avid multitasker and jailbreaker may want to look a bit higher up.

Text input 7/10 OK virtual keyboard, auto-correct over-corrects though, and there is no physical keyboard (<- depends on the user)

Display 10/10 one of the best avaliable

Battery 9/10 Great games kill it fairly quickly though

Pros

• slim design
• great display (640x960)
• front facing camera
• runs iOS
• many compatible accessories
• processor isn't slow
• easy for anyone to use
• uses iTunes
• iCloud + other iOS 5 features

Cons

• Lack of RAM (256 MB)
• Sub-par camera (uber-low resolution, no autofoc
• runs iOS
• proprietary connector
• non-removable battery
• ease of use may annoy power-users
• limited bluetooth support
• no GPS
• no USB mass storage support
• requires iTunes
• sub-par multitasking

Always in my pocket!

CharlieTheNinth has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I use this brilliant looking thing all the time. In the mornings to read the news, at school I'm not allowed to use it, in the evenings to play games, at night to listen to music. It's a very reliable device that almost never fails. And it's only 199! :)

Build quality 9/10 The back scratches way too easily. A cover for your iPod is almost obligatory.

Reception 1/10

Call quality 1/10 It's not a cellphone so...

Internet 10/10

Multimedia 10/10

Camera 7/10 Pictures, bad quality: only 0.7 Megapixels. HD video, 720p, pretty smooth. No autofocus.

UI speed 9/10 Not as fast as on the iPhone, but still very fast.

Everyday usage 10/10

Text input 10/10

Display 10/10 The retina display is an eye-candy. :)

Battery 8/10 Not sufficient for heavy gamers.

Pros

• Awesome device for that price. Thin, fast, light and it does everything you want.

Cons

• The camera does a great job shooting video, but taking pictures is much less impressive with the iPod Touch.
