The iPod touch is Awesome for Audiophiles

The iPod touch makes it easy to carry your favorite music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more with you. Everything you purchase through the iTunes Store is automatically available on your devices through iCloud.

 

What makes the iPod touch worth it?

The Vivid Touchscreen Display

Whether you're watching your favorite music video or an episode of a binge-worthy TV show, the screen's widescreen format enhances your experience.

Unlike some other dedicated music players out there, the iPod touch has a clear, 4" colorful, Retina display with an 1136 x 640 resolution at 326 pixels per inch. It also has a powerful A8 chip that delivers even faster performance than previous versions of the touch.

 

The Front and Rear Cameras

The iPod touch comes with a rear iSight camera and a front FaceTime HD camera.

The Rear iSight camera captures 8-megapixel images. It has a five-element lens and a ƒ/2.4 aperture as well as the ability to autofocus. It also provides face detection, exposure controls, panorama and burst shooting modes. The rear-facing camera also has a timer mode, a tap to focus feature, and allows can geotag photos over Wi-Fi.

The Front FaceTime HD camera takes 1.2-megapixel photos and has a ƒ/2.2 aperture. It can also capture HD videos at 720p resolution. It has a backside illumination sensor and has an auto HDR function for photos and videos. Additionally, the front-facing camera offers improved face detection and exposure control. It has a timer mode that lets you set up your phone on a tripod or similar type of mount and join a group or a natural backdrop without requiring anyone to manually take the picture. The camera has a burst mode, which lets you take up to 10 photos a second to ensure you get the perfect shot.

 

Wi-Fi Connectivity

If you're in a place with Wi-Fi then you can send texts with iMessage and connect with family, friends, and even clients through FaceTime video calls. You can even post your favorite photos to Facebook or Twitter and check your email, online shop, or browse your favorite site with Apple's Safari browser.

While there are a lot of other great features that set the iPod touch apart from other dedicated music players, this device may not be for everyone. Today, more and more people are using their smartphones as music players, but for audiophiles who like to download music and carry their music libraries around them everywhere they go without having to lug today’s plus-size smartphone then the iPod Touch is totally worth it.

B and H Photo carries the iPod touch in a wide variety of colors, including blue, silver, pink, gold and space gray. Whether your music library is 100 songs or several thousand, the iPod touch offers storage that ranges from 16GB all the way up to 128GB.
