iPod Touch kills time like no other

The new iPod Touch 4G is the perfect way to kill time. And sometimes, you need such a thing. However, addiction to it isn’t such a good idea. But that’s how I found myself when I bought the iPod a few months ago. Here are a few ways it turns you into an addict:

1. The 3-lakh plus apps at The Apple Store. Just wading through them everyday can kill time effortlessly. And some apps wow you like nothing else. But more on those cool apps in a different post.

2. The crystal clear screen resolution that is double the number of pixels from its 3G avatar.

3. The high definition video recording can clean bowl you. No jarring imagery, no contrast and blurry issues. Just pure video fun.

4. Facetime video calling. With the front-facing camera, you can video call by just using the person’s email ID from any service provider, be it gmail, mac or yahoo. Just enter the email ID and call the person. However, the person on the other end should either have an Apple laptop or desktop or an iPhone or iPod Touch. The voice and video quality is impressive. And yes, you can also use Fring to video call to anybody with a smartphone. Thanks to the front-facing camera.

5. The Touch has almost all the features of its expensive cousin, iPhone4.

6. With firmware upgrades, it promises to only get better.
