Sep 1, 2015 WHEN the iPod Touch first appeared in September 2007, Fergie topped the music charts, John Howard ruled Australia, and the final Harry Potter novel was becoming the top-selling book of the year. Touchscreen devices were also fresh and the iPod Touch seemed an easy starting point. LAST DRINKS: Is Apple planning the end for the iPod? FRESH TOUCHES: Apple surprises with new Touch model Flash forward almost eight years and a lot has changed. Fergie hasn’t released an album since 2006, John Howard is a political commentator, and Harry Potter’s film stars are adults with scantily clad pictorials. But the iPod Touch is back again, albeit in a slicker, faster package. It’s as if Apple wants to remind us of its music credentials in the wake of its streaming music service launch. There are reasons other than nostalgia to buy the sixth generation iPod Touch, however. Like its 2012 update, this model is lightweight. At 88g, you can confidently strap this device to your arm and go for a run. You can also slip it into a pocket, connect some wireless headphones, and forget it’s there at all.
Sep 7, 2015 iPods piss me off lately, they're exactly the same as iPhones but they cant make calls, and have like 32GB when I want a device that does nothing but play music and stores 120GB. My classic is slowly dying....
Sep 7, 2015 ipod touches thrived because kids weren't allowed phones like the iphone when they were younger, guess s--- changed now.
Sep 7, 2015 I copped the 128gb Touch. My 160gb Classic has been acting up so I finally sold out. I prefer the Classic though. Much simpler and I didn't have the same types of problems that I'm currently having with the Touch. On 2 occasions, iTunes deleted my song artwork and all of my songs, they reuploaded most of it back. I have 26K+ songs, that takes a long time. It's annoying. Right now, it's working fine. Hopefully, I don't have to go through that type of bs again. Methinks this is all part of some Apple scheme to make you pay for iCloud storage.
Sep 7, 2015 I bought a 2012 iPod touch, s--- is pretty cash and has held up really well for never having a case on it. I'll probably end up copping the 6th gen too. I had no idea one was out. My cellphone is used exclusively for texting/calling, iPod does everything else. It's more viable to have a cheap phone plan and a $0 phone + and iPod touch for music/networking/browsing/etc. Not having a data plan is fine too because Wi-Fi is publicly available just about anywhere away from home. yall iphone guys are bustas
