Music has definitely been the most exciting and amazing time pass for people since ages and for some people it might also be a very important part of their lives. For music lovers a lot of gadgets such as radio and MP3 players but the most amazing one of them was the introduction of iPod which is basically a device which was introduced by the company apple and its available in various different models the one that we are going to talk about in this post is the iPod touch and will be discussing the fifth generation of the same.
The iPod hasn’t been made better or been upgraded since past two years that is since 2010 but things changes this year in the month of September and it went through a remarkable update and has been made even more better with new and amazing features. The first one that comes to our mind when it comes to talking about the features is the looks which also forms the first impression about the product. The screen of the iPod 5th generation is bigger for a better view to the users which forms the major advantage and also in addition the pixels are as high as 1136 and as wide as 640 pixels which means that an additional row of icons can be easily added to the screen and also enhance the viewing experience overall which is extremely important and is also considered very essential.
Another great change is that the now you can easily view the videos on your iPod touch with letter boxing as their absolutely no need for it. What is very surprising is that its design is very slim and it is extremely light weight. Another outstanding feature about the looks is that apart from the boring shades of black and white it is available in a lot of amazing and vibrant colours such as red and blue.
The surprise doesn’t end here. You will notice a silver button on the back side and if twisted it pops out immediately. It is very useful because you can attach it to a string. Thus the new generation iPod has been upgraded with a lot of amazing features. This time we have shared amazing iPod features. We always love to share new and amazing things for our readers. We keep on searching new gadgets to keep our readers updated about new gadgets. If any of our reader wants us to post about something specific please feel free to comment in our comments section below.
1. Design
When you see the new iPod touch for the first time, you won’t believe your eyes. But when you hold it in your hand – that’s when you get how unbelievable it is. It weighs next to nothing, yet it’s no lightweight: it still does all the gaming, surfing, messaging and everything else you love, more powerfully than ever. The iPod touch loop comes colour-matched to your iPod touch, or you can buy other colours separately. It’s a fun new way to keep your iPod touch safe at hand.
2. Display
iPod touch now has a bigger, 4-inch Retina display, so all your fun takes on a bigger size. Your hairpin car-racing turns, your dance party playlist, your favourite celeb gossip site – everything is sharp, vivid and lifelike. And the new display is a perfect widescreen fit for your HD films and TV programmes because now you can watch them all without letterboxing. The new iPod touch screen gets taller, but not wider, so you still have complete one-handed control.
3. iSight Camera
Some moments are just begging for a photo. Your best friend’s spooky lookalike spotted on the street. An entire wall of graffiti art. A surreal-looking sunset. The iSight camera on iPod touch packs five megapixels – seven times more than the previous generation – and takes such great shots, you can ditch your point-and-shoot camera for good. Advanced optics, tap to focus, an LED flash and face detection help you get the shot every time. The iSight camera shoots 1080p HD video, and the front camera gets a boost for better FaceTime calls. And you can edit, crop and enhance your photos directly on iPod touch with the iPhoto app, available in the App Store.
4. Dual-core A5 chip
It’s the most powerful iPod touch ever. That’s because the dual-core A5 chip provides up to twice the processing power and up to seven times faster graphics than the previous generation. So games are incredibly responsive and realistic. Your samurai swordplay is sharper than ever, your zombie-dodging ultra-smooth. And because the A5 chip isn’t a power hog, you get the same great battery life: up to 40 hours of music or 8 hours of video on a single charge. So you can keep on swinging, slicing and racing. And listening, watching and browsing.
5. Music and video
Every iPod is all about music. But iPod touch is about music and then some. It lets you carry round your entire music and video library for an instant fix of entertainment wherever you are. The latest song you have on endless repeat. The indie track your friend recommended. That classic rock album your parents loved – and, it turns out, you love too. Your music library is yours alone, and your iPod touch is where it all plays. And with every kind of music on iTunes just a tap away, you can find the perfect song for whatever mood – or room or car – you’re in. Films and TV programmes never looked better on iPod touch. Videos play in true widescreen on the 4-inch Retina display. Colours positively pop thanks to 44 per cent greater saturation. And if you’re in the mood for that film your friends can’t stop raving about, head to the iTunes Store, where you can download it straight to iPod touch.
6. All new Apple EarPods
Introducing Apple EarPods. They look unlike anything you’ve seen, and sound unlike anything you’ve heard. They fit comfortably and stay put through all kinds of activity, from your impromptu dancing to your hard-core workout. And the audio quality of Apple EarPods is so incredible, they rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of pounds more.
7. Games and Apps
Fast dual-core performance and sharp graphics make iPod touch the hands-down, thumbs-up, most popular portable gaming device in the world. The App Store features 700,000 apps – including over 100,000 games – many of which are free. Boredom, you just got trounced.
8. Built-in apps
It’s not just about what’s out there. It’s also about what’s in here. iPod touch comes loaded with lots of powerful built-in apps. Send unlimited texts with iMessage over Wi-Fi. See your friend’s every expression with a FaceTime video call. Check your email with Mail, and browse the web with Safari. And iOS 6 adds new stuff to the mix with Siri, Facebook integration, Maps, Passbook and more.
9. Sharing and staying connected
iPod touch makes it easier and quicker than ever to stay in touch, with Facebook and Twitter integration, FaceTime, iMessage and more. You’ll have no problem staying in the know.With deep Facebook and Twitter integration, iPod touch lets you be even more social with your social network. Post photos instantly to Facebook from the Photos app, see your friends’ birthdays in Calendar and Contacts, even Like apps and songs – and see what your friends Like. You can also tweet pics and videos directly from whatever app you’re in.
10. Siri comes to iPod touch
Siri will wake you up, open your apps, give you film and restaurant picks, answer your most random questions and remind you to do stuff. In a nice way. All you have to do is ask. Before you head out the door, Siri can tell you whether you need your jacket, what film to see and which pizza place has the best Yelp reviews.
11. AirPlay
With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream whatever’s on your iPod touch to your HDTV via Apple TV. Say you have some friends over and want a little more real estate to show them something on your iPod touch – a video of the world’s cutest kitten or an epic scene from your favourite film. Tap the AirPlay icon from the app you’re in – such as Photos, Music, Videos or Safari – and everything on your small screen plays on your big screen. You can also stream music to any AirPlay-enabled speakers or AirPort Express–connected speakers, so your sounds sound even bigger.
12. All-new Lightning connector
The thinnest, lightest iPod touch ever wouldn’t have been possible without making some big changes. Including completely redesigning the connector you charge it with. The new connector is called Lightning. It’s smaller and smarter, and with an adapter (sold separately), it’ll still work with the stuff you already have.
