The new iPod touch. Looks familiar lol?To tell you frankly, I am no fan of iPod. Being a Singaporean, I support our local "Creative" brand. I mean, it is Apple who stole the mp3 idea from Creative right?
But this time, I have to say sorry to Creative, to Singapore. One look at the new iPod just blows my mind away. No more crappy circular wheel. No more "every iPod generation looks the same" (ok, although it really look like the iPhone, but *cough* we will spare them this time). This is just (sorry for the language) holy shit. We welcome, the iPod touch.
Let's focus on its features. Viewing music, photos and video are as easy as 123 now. With a large 3.5 inch screen, it uses the Multi-touch interface which makes iPhone so amazing. That means you can use your fingers to zoom pictures, glide through albums, zoom in on webpage (omfg). Also, when you rotate theiPhone iPod from portrait to landscape, the screen will also change as well.

Not to mention there is a QWERTY keyboard in it. (You should be wondering why on earth a keyboard in iPod...)
One more feature really shock me. Really shock me. Wi-Fi Web Browser. No kidding! I mean, a mp3 player that can view the internet ?!?! Holy shit. Never in my life would I thought that Apple would make such a move. I thought that they would make an iPhone and trash the iPod. I even planned on writting an article on the extinction of mp3 players. Boy, am I so wrong.
If that is not shocking enough, the Safari browser in the iPod is able to view Youtube! OMG!! Even the Internet Explorer in Window Mobile 6 (WM6) can't to that, and other mobile browser have much trouble trying to play flv videos. Boy, am I impress.
Actually, I am still rather speechless right now. Apple never fails to amaze me, from iPod to iPhone, to the macOSX. Wow. Innovation is everywhere in their product. I really have to take my hat off for them. I am now imagine a life with the iPod touch. I was actually planning to buy the Sony Ericsson W960i, a potential iPhone killer, since it has features such as Wi-Fi browsing and good sound quality etc., but now I am having serious second thoughts.
Way to go Apple.
Btw, there is also a newer iPod nano, but who cares lol.
P.S. iPod touch comes in 8GB and 16GB (*i am crying now....*)

Apple VS Creative? Noo way.
Noone really cares if apple stole the idea from creative, as long as it was legal (Which it was, Creative tried sueing Apple and lost the case). The "Crappy circular wheel" is also ALOT more userfriendly than four godawful standard up down left right buttons, not to mention less of an eyesore. Creative's share price, down $19 since Jan 05 , now $6, clearly shows its defeat in its battle with Apple in mp3s.
