OPPO Find N5 Review
The Apple iPod has certainly come a long way since it was introduced back in 2001. From being bulky, it has taken different shapes and sizes to cater to consumer’s needs.
The introduction of bigger screen and touch screen capabilities on devices such as the iPod not only made navigating through tons of music more conveniently, but also added functionalities like touch controlled gaming, internet browsing and more comfortable movie watching (just to name a few) that were previously not available on screen less PMPs (Portable Media Players). And with recent addition of two cameras and the stunning Retina display back in 2010, the iPod Touch 4th Generation has almost took a shape of a smartphone but without a SIM (which can be fixed by adding an accessory).
For the past four years the iPod Touch product line has kept getting better and better. But last year was a different story as we saw a bit of a slump in the iPod line, only producing a white variant for the iPod Touch 4th generation. To make up for this, there has been rumor spreading that the upcoming iPod Touch will sport a dual core processor.
So the question now is “do we really need dual core processor on the upcoming iPod Touch?†I mean, yes we can now shoot 1080p clips, get more out of every charge, more detailed display while gaming or watching and more responsiveness for faster multi-tasking, but do we really need all of this on a PMP? I get the idea of bringing more features to a traditional PMP but don’t you think that this is a little over the edge?
In our ever evolving world of technology, simple devices like the iPod have turned into something really spectacular to the point that it can almost outdo smartphones in some, if not most, aspects. To me, putting a dual-core processor in the upcoming iPod isn’t a bad idea so long as it would not affect the pricing that much. But if pricing is going to be a concern, then I’d rather have a 160GB iPod touch with Retina display and more refined sound quality (which I think should be the main focus for PMPs) than it having a fancy dual-core processor. Only then would I have enough reason to upgrade my beloved iPod Classic 5th generation to an iPod Touch.
No official announcements were made when this new iPod will be released. But if the Cupertino company will religiously follow their tradition, it should be released on September this year. While we wait and see how this turns out, we’d love to hear your thoughts about this.

I think it will not affect the pricing. AFAIK dual core is the “standard” nowadays. Having said that, standard pricing is also expected. Opinion ko lang naman..hehe
winnie b. says:
+1. This move may even be more cost effective for a company because, like in the computer industry, older technology usually eventually becomes costlier after the new technology becomes the standard. Just try buying RAM for an old desktop computer.
kebbot says:
I guess dual core on ipod touch device is not needed knowing the battery life of all apple products s*cks.
Pink says:
That is not true.. my 2 year old ipod touch last 7 days with 4 hours of gaming and 2 hours of music via bluetooth headphones every day.
Pink says:
That is not true.. my 2 year old ipod touch last 5 days with 5 hours of gaming and music via bluetooth headphones every day.
JCdela Cruz says:
No need to upgrade the Ipod Touch, better if Apple will dump this product and go for the iPad Mini which deserves to have a dual core chip.
deuts says:
Dual-core would be great for high graphics games available in the App store. But a 160GB, or maybe even better a 320GB, iPod Touch would certainly be a good addition to my gadgets. :D
ZAYNE says:
*read the Whole thing Before You Criticize my reply
Not Gonna Happen Apple is not willing to put more Storage in it Unless they are willing to sacrifice the Thinness of the Device Plus adding 120 or 320 GB would mean an SSD or HDD which would not happen unless they are willing to Implement a Super Experimental (An Experiment not even ready to be tested on a device due to power leaks) Silicon which would mean it doubling the rate of the Storage capacity without increasing the Size
*Like I Said Before Apple is not afraid to gain its idevices a “Few” Meaning VERY LITTLE Weight and Thickness But Hears the Thing the New Gen iPad only Gained 1-2mm Thick and the iPad gained Very little Weight like a few grains of Rice like 6-10 Grains but compared to the SSD or HDD which will supply your theorized 120 or 320GB iDevice its will gain not only Weight but Thickness BIGTIME!!! One of the reasons why a Laptop is Heavy is Because of its HDD or SSD…An SSD could weigh around .238lbs and, Yes, the Weight Increased BIGTIME
*And an HDD version of the iPod touch would be Susceptable to Corruption because when you Shake or tilt the Device…(HDD is a Disk with a Needle so Shaking it could Lose all your Data)
booboo says:
I really wish iPod Touch would be marketed as iPad Mini sporting a 5″ display. Or why not also put micro sim card in it? iPod Touch 3G (no phone features just data) perhaps?
Edsar says:
Yung speakers sana lumakas pa parang Live w/ walkman tapos yung screen pwede na yung 4″ to 5″ yung processor kahit wag na muna snappy parin iPod touch compared sa SE Mini Pro ko
Fleeb says:
There might not be a need for such CPU but it’s either some cost saving measure or just the fact that the general consumer are easy marketing preys for higher numbers.
showbiz says:
I think dual core cpu is not necessary for ipod but if it will not have dual core, in the future it will be left behind in technology.
ZAYNE says:
Not all Apps Require 4 cores…. Yes 2 cores may mean left behind but putting the question of battery life 2 cores is just enough to Keep The Battery life “Healthy” What i think it needs is a Graphics update and Ram Update and Especially Battery to Keep the 2 cores, Graphics and Ram Running with a Healthy amount of Battery life left
Linux_tsukai says:
I think they will feature the surplus a5 processors as the next apple products will already feature a5x and a6 (to be manufactured this july). Seeing as ipod sales plummet greatly since last year, I doubt this would be a hit. On that note, I still have my 1st gen ipod with me and was never tempted to upgrade since.
IceMan90 says:
upgrade nila yung camera up to 5mp just like in the new iPad.. it would be a plus factor for me
