In response to my iPod Touch article on the hands-on done by Eric for the iPod Touch, I have compiled a list on the Top 5 Reasons to NOT get a iPod Touch. IN no particular order.
Reason 1: No Camera. A camera would of been a great reason to upgrade from your iPod Nano, and even the Video. Instead of sticking close to the iPhone however, the camera jumped ship in the production on the iPod Touch. It is still unknown if the camera will be added in later versions of the iPod Touch, but if they want my business they better add one (at least 2 mega pixels!)
Reason 2: “Negative Black Effect”, want to watch movies on the iPod Touch? One of the MAIN features to the gadget? Well if its a horror film, or in fact any movie that has ANY dark scene in it, there is a pesky bug going around that actually causes dark portions of movies to end up being, well .. black. Leaves you guessing what the hell you are looking at often times!
Reason 3:Storage Capacity, seriously 8GB & 16GB models are so second generation.I understand the battery life concept of things, but they could of at least went with a 30GB, which is typically the MINIMUM for anything praying to be a respectable video player. Even in the mp4 format a full length film can run you 200-500 MB , and whenever you couple that along side an extensive music library, you might as well just carry around a Sony PSP for your entertainment needs.
Reason 4: Multitasking isn’t there, want to surf the web using your portable web browser, AND listen to music at the same time? Be ready for choppy seconds, there are numerous reports across the web that state whenever you try to do two things at once you experience slow loading, and hang-ups, which is not acceptable with any product delivered from apple, at an Apple price.
Reason 5: $399? Really.. for the amount of hard drive alloted and the features on it, it isn’t worth $399, even with the personal web browser. Portable Web Browsing has been done, even on a frickn’ Nintendo DS, and it only cost $39.99 (price check?) I just don’t see how they justify the price, no camera, no space, and buggy hang-ups, if anything I would wait for the next batch of new versions to roll out before dropping $399 on the iPod Touch.
The iPod Touch is a cool concept, just in baby form, pack it full with more goodies, and get the bugs worked out and we can talk Apple.
