4G iPod Touch: Retina Display & HD Camera

Worth it ba itong ganitong prices? Ilang android powered phones na ang mabibili mo sa 64GB unit? Tsk Tsk. Pero in fairness naman, tempting sya. Ang layo na ng narating ng technology. What’s next?

parang iPhone lang :D wla nga lang sim.. peo sa 16g cguo pwd pa ang price.

darn…. nakakalaway naman ito. i want this as a gift this december.. one of my wish list

It will be available 2 to 3 weeks from now just like before. It has retina display which means it’s almost like your “eyesight” and it will be hard for you to see the pixels. Yeah, it’s like iPhone that has’nt got Phone Features such as SMS, voice call etc. The Facetime is for you to be able to chat or make a video call, picture yourself for a better view,(i believe you can use Skype with this). It is better to wait ’till December for you to have it on a less price. It will be a Merry Merry Christmas for someone who will have this one!
(Specially iPhone 4)

abe, kailan yan available locally? kasi i’ve just gotten my hsbc card and may promo sila for ipod touch. wondering if pwedeng eto yung i-claim ko. :)

Very nice update, but as expected, they gimped it a little so as not to fully compete with the iPhone.

No GPS
No compass
No camera flash
Rear camera still image resolution is just 960×720, not like the 5MP one in the iPhone 4

But still, I think many potential iPhone 4 buyers will be settling for an iPod Touch instead.

Put Skype or make calls via Google Voice, it’s the closest thing to getting an iPhone. Sans the SMS capabilities.

sana nilagyan ng 3G, like the Ipad. panalo na sana.

@Jamby In its first debut it is used for video chat/calling, but since it has its own API alot of apps can be made using the camera.

mga bagong laruan na naman ito mula sa kompanya ng mansanas

making our lives more happier!!!

Facetime for the less fortunate who cannot afford the iPhone 4

Again. Apple has made history by creating another failure after the iPhone 4G. This time, Apple doesn’t have the WOW surprise factor…i just said “okay, same old product strategy” “same features, they just used the A4 chips and additional ram” to boost performance but there’s nothing really new. Is this the end of Apple’s dominance in the music hardware business? I certainly hope so if this trend is what i’ll be seeing in the next few years…really sad.

This is a sure candidate of my Christmas gadget wishlist.Big upgrade ala Iphone 4, you can get a gadget with A4 processor, retina display, HD video, near console type of games and face time with a price of Php 12.5k.I am still waiting for Sony to counterpunch with their PSP2 ( if the rumors are true and if will release before the yearend). I love my Ipod Touch 2g but will see in Christmas if I upgrade this or not.

yess I have been waiting for this since I got my Ipod touch 2nd gen haha

@Jamby
Facetime = Video Call over Wi-Fi, kung may wireless router ka at home you can “Facetime” your friends who also have a new generation of ipod touch and/or an iphone 4.

@Alvin
Well that’s how Apple harvest their $$$ from the money tree. Sometimes you don’t need the “wow” factor to sell products, instead an intuitive product that’s easy to use (UI).

I don’t think it’s the end of Apple’s dominance, since pa mura ng pa mura ang price nila compared to last year’s and madami pa din naman na “clones”. When people grew tired of clones they will buy the original one, with or without cash on hand. Uutang pa para makabili.

Anyway what do you not expect the ipod touch would do?
It is still a great touch music player which enthralls the youth.

You cannot efficiently sell a product with powerpacked with features.
See what happened to Nokia N-Series.

The previous generation iPod Touch’s are prototypes. After a few years of closed beta testing (many thanks to the *early* adopters), this should be version 1. They are right, this is the iPod Touch we are looking for.

Version 2 will come after 3 more iterations.

@badnobe If you know how good the image sensor of its camera then the size of pixels is not a bother. shooting a video of 720p is no joke!

Is the screen scratch resistant?

is it able to take stills? Kahit low resolution? Possible?

@blitzkrieg : I agree…

the only thing there that’s good is the HD recording…

the rear camera sucks kapag magpipicture ka lang. 0.7mp lang. tss. magaandroid phone nalang ako sa price na yan. :)tanong po. nakita ko sa site ng apple. $299 ang 8gb at 32gb model? bakit pareho price?

the best ipod touch gets better… kulang na lang ilagay nila yung isa sa peborit game ko sa PSP na “God of War” then ayus na pati yung Tekken katapat nya “Street Fighter” sa iPod Touch panalo din bitin nga lang at kulang kulang

mas nakakapagod maglaro ng Need for Speed sa PSP at DSi kumpara sa iPod Touch

i must say yung game quality ang pag-uusapan pwedeng pareho lang or mas higit pa compared sa psp or dsi, nagkakaiba lang yan sa game experience and playability

gaming advantages:
iPod Touch 4g = may accelerometer / gyroscope / buttonless
PSP & DSi = walang accelerometer /gyrospoce / may buttones

internet browsing:
iPod Touch 4g = madali yang (touch touch touch)
PSP & DSi = pahirapan (press press press) left down right up

at madami pang iba…hehehe

sorry na doble ang post bagal kasi ng internet eh

mukang magkakasundo kami ng apple ngaun!!!

Wag muna tayong magmadali bumili. Baka meron ding technical issues to. Antayin nyo na lang ang full review ni sir abe…hehehe! :D

@Rem – Iba kasi experience ng the way gaming flows on iOS devices, anybody can create a game and gain profit so pagandahan ng games at believe me papagandahin talga nila e sa consoles ngaun ang mga sikat may history e square enix, konami, EA, etc so sila lang ang mgaganda e matagal bago mag release so mabagal marketing. and limited lang sa button ang consoles. Apple counters with gyro, accelerometer, game center for competition, touch and developers. and yup sulit na ung price, isipin nyo nalang magkano ang 720p camera ngayon

@manong not the best quality pag ordianry 5mp cam because of the low quality image sensor
“sabi nga sa GSMARENA, ung pictures ng iphone 4 pag na-view mo sa 24″ monitor.. PANGET!” – dipende po yan sa pag kuha mo at how clean your lens is

@Mac Carlos – $229 on 8Gb not $299

good games like paid ones in iPod touch 2g is really good so I wonder how great gaming will be on this improved device?

I’m so disappointed, WiMax ang iniexpect kong i-aadd na feature sa iTouch 4th Gen at iPhone 4..

@Joshua M

its kinda expensive. thanks. i checked the website again. Maybe im hallucinating that time. LOL

Sulit na ang price ng ipod touch 4. sa mga naghahanap pa ng features like 3G or wimax, bumili na lang kayo ng mobile router or kung may nokia phone kayo na may 3g and wifi, use joikuspot app para maging mobile router para makapagwifi na si friendly ipod touch 4 at makapagfacetime anytime/anywhere!

Nice job Steve!!! Sana walang issue ito. hehe..

you can now record HD video and do video calling over WiFi for the same price as the last model. Or don’t buy it. But don’t rate something you’ve never touched 1 star because the sensor was not designed to be used as a still photo camera. Neither was the sensor on the pocket sized Flip Video Camera and people spend $100+ on that device even though it does NOTHING ELSE.

pwede kaya yung video sa skype instead of facetime?

Sa mga namamahalan! Baliw kayo! Mga wala Lang kayong pambili! Mga tanga!

Tamara ka buyipodtouch4thgeneration! Kala mo Kung sino makarate d nmn ngagamit!

Amazing Case can turn itouch into iphone!!!

angelie: u can download games kht ala kang credit card.. kaso ung iba hnd full version :( gusto ko rn majailbreak ung akin..

just got mine (32gb) last Sunday and I’m really enjoying it. i wished the camera had better resolution though, like 1 megapixel at least. :)

Just got the iPOD touch 4 a few days ago and I’m pleasantly surprised.

Some info if you guys want to purchase the said item: I got the 64GB model for Php17,500 at Game Extreme (Bridgeway shop at Virramall, Greenhills). So far it is the cheapest deal I’ve found in the Metro. The next cheapest is at Digital Hub (64gb is Php 17,800) but so far no models have been delivered yet.

The ipod touch 4 comes with Apple OS 4.1. Am contemplating on jailbreaking it as Limera1n from the iPOD Dev Team already hacked the version. Has anyone tried this yet? Any problems encountered?

http://www.calvinshub.com/2010/10/how-to-jailbreak-ios-4-1-using-limera1n/

Thanks!

@Dee- I jailbroke my iPOD touch a few days ago using Limera1n. The new version works on iOS 4.1 (that’s the latest version). So far no problems. The instructions are on the link I posted.

Where else other than Digital Hub and Game Extreme could you get iPod Touch 4G 64GB? 17+K seems really affordable!!! ..on Apple’s Website, it costs 22K but gives you free engraving… is that engrave or purchasing in Mac/apple store really worth it?

I bought my ipod touch 4g 32 gb for only 13,200k at games & gadgets at cyberzone megamall. Loving the games and Facetime! :)

@shibito-hindi ako sinungaling! pakita ko pa sayo resibo eh. bought mine 2 weeks ago. because of the demand siguro kaya nag-taas sila ng priced.

d2 sa saudi mura lng 900 riyals nlng sa peso 10260 pesos ang 32gb ipodtouch may tax kacsa pinas kaya mhal
