Past iPod touch models had qualities that made them seem less professional, less clean. The Wi-Fi antenna showing, thick rounded edges, etc. The iPod Touch 4G, however, does not. It’s clean, crisp, and looks and feels great. The thinness of the design is excellent for holding in a pocket, though like the Nano, it’s easy to forget because it’s so light and thin. Yet with that miniscule frame, the iPod is still tough. Users can safely play a game of ball with the Touch in a pocket. I’ve on more than a few occasion forgot it was even there.

Performance is stellar. It seems silly that each new i-device is considered snappy and fast thanks to performance boosts, yet the same applies with this iPod Touch. There isn’t a faster mobile device on the market today.

Many have thus far been impressed by the Retina display, boasting a higher resolution 960×640 display and 326 pixels per inch. I’m not. Yes, it looks great, and yes, it is much clearer than older every other screen I’ve tested. But having switched back and forth between my iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 4G, it really isn’t that big a deal. Some journalists have openly stated that the upgraded screen makes the iPad useless, but I couldn’t disagree more. There is certainly a difference, but that’s not worth upgrading for alone.

But despite being an excellent PMP, the iPod touch faces big rivals these days. Increasing smartphone proliferation, strengthening of the Android stable and the birth of tablets could see the iPod touch pushed aside with those more affluent buyers. We've seen a standalone Android PMP from Samsung and if that can build on the success of the Samsung Galaxy S, then we may see the iPod touch facing more challenges in the future.

For sure, i'm so addict with this gadget. I have the 3rd gen and i think that's not too bad. the specification isn't too far with the 4th. Gotta post something cool later. See ya!
