![]() Beyond the expected selection of fun, addictive casual games, such as Angry Birds, Scrabble, and Plants vs. The breadth of the games available through the integrated App Store is exhaustive. Gaming is a big part of the iPod Touch's appeal, due in part to the improved display, additional three-axis gyro sensor, and A4 processor performance boost that arrived in 2009. That said, you can't browse the Web, download apps, or e-mail your friends from a Flip, so keep that in mind. Overall, the iPod Touch works well as a pocket camcorder, though we still prefer a dedicated pocket camcorder when it comes to video quality, audio quality, and plug-and-play flexibility. You get the same tap-to-focus capabilities found on the iPhone 4, but the shots won't make your digital camera jealous. Essentially, these photos are simply video stills, which equate to a 960x720-pixel resolution using the camera on the back, or 640x480 pixels using the self-portrait cam. You still can't make cell phone calls on the Touch, surf over a 3G connection, or receive a GPS signal, but the gap between the Touch and the iPhone is surprisingly small.īoth cameras are capable of taking still shots as well, but the results don't hold up to those of the iPhone 4's 5-megapixel camera (with LED flash). ![]() You get the A4 processor that originally debuted in the iPhone 4, and a 3.5-inch Retina Display that looks great, but isn't as stunning as the 4-inch screen found on the fifth-generation model. At 3.56 ounces, this is still one of the lightest iOS devices money can buy (though the newer 3.1-ounce iPod Touch beats it slightly), feeling practically nonexistent in your pocket.Ĭompared with the bigger, faster, pricier fifth-generation iPod Touch, the fourth-generation model is a year behind when it comes to specs. There's a Home button below the capacitive touch screen, which still measures 3.5 inches diagonally. The Touch does have an integrated speaker, located behind a tiny grille on the bottom edge of the device, along with a standard dock connection and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The iPod's front-facing camera is placed above the screen and behind the glass, where the speaker would normally be found on a mobile phone.
