iPod touch review

Ok this has to be one of the coolest things I have ever used. The Apple made iPod Touch is an amazing item with features built in like Youtube, Safari, iTunes, etc... The coolest feature besides touch screen is the "App store" here you can buy or free download all sorts of applications like iFish, Pocket guitar, Spore, Tap tap revenge, and lots more! You can even download a Facebook app which allows you to quickly access your Facebook profile, messages, friends, chat, inbox, and photos (you can even upload the photos from your iPod). The iPod touch's iTunes feature allows you to browse the entire iTunes store including videos, all songs, your purchased songs, and your account/device information. The internet browser for the ipod by default is Safari (I have seen customized ones with Mozilla Firefox) the internet is not a standard mobile internet, but is a full out regular browser internet. It can load full pages with all images, works with any WiFi connection, you can download and upload files to the internet directly from the iPod and you can also use your email with the attachment feature and all! Here are some quick notes after reading my paragraph review:

  • Internet - Full internet virtually no limitations.
  • Applications - Hundreds of thousands of free or cheap applications available in the App store.
  • iTunes - Full access to the entire iTunes library and the ability to download directly to your iPod.
  • Games - Almost all the games are interactive and allow you to put your iPod to the test.
  • Touch screen - Speaks for it's self.
  • Youtube - Browse any video or user channel on Youtube with the Youtube app.
  • Weather - Gives you the weather for your location automatically at any time of any day.
  • Motion/tilt censor - Allows for the most fun, most interactive, and most original experience with an iPod that you will ever have.
  • Screen shot feature - Hold down the home button and press the lock/power button to take a screen shot which will automatically save to your photo library.

The Rant (New sprint phone)

I recently got this new phone called the "Rant" it's a new phone by sprint which is basically a much better version of the rumor. It has the same sliding keyboard feature as the Rumor does except the slide hinges are stronger and instead of the 3 row keyboard it has a 4 row QWERTY keyboard.
I do have to say that this is the best phone i have ever had due to it's massive amounts of features like 'Built-in' email system, Face book, Google, Google maps, Gmail, Youtube , CNN, ESPN, AIM (and related) etc... With all these features on here it's easy to customize your phone! The Rant gives you the ability to edit and change the "Carousel" on your main-menu so you can add and remove features as you please. The Rant also has frequent Firmware and PRL updates for free! The Rant's features also include a 2 mega-pixel camera/camcorder with changeable color tones, fun frames, brightness and contrast, etc... Any ways this phone is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new phone or a new service.

Product rating: 10/10
