Click Here To Get Your iPod Touch
My son has asked for an iPod Touch 4G for Christmas and not being very familiar with Apple brand products, I started to read specs and iPod Touch reviews for kids. People seem to love iPods. There are an incredible amount of reviews for all the different iPods Apple makes.
That’s kind of why I started this blog, to help parents like me to get the bottom line information and impressions of the iPod Touch 4G. I mean, how much “OMG this is sooooo awesome!” types of reviews can one read, seriously.
After reading what a lot of people had to say about the iPod Touch 4G, I checked out Apple’s website to get the specs and bear bone facts of what the iPod Touch 4G is capable of doing. I was more than impressed with what I read on Apple’s website.
My first thoughts about the iPod Touch before I read anything online was that it was a trendy music player that all the kids have these days. My eyes have been opened as they say, and I’ve come to realize how much an iPod Touch can actually do.
I was most surprised to find out that the tiny, skinny little iPod Touch could take high definition video – in 720p! My phone doesn’t even do that. The video feature allows one to video chat via Face Time. I think you can use Skype and other video services as long as there’s an app for it in the app store. Just make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi.

The iPod Touch 4G can also message other Apple devices when it’s connected to Wi-Fi using a program called iMessage. So with the video chat and iMessage program, the iPod Touch 4G is basically a phone when there’s Wi-Fi (which is everywhere now). That’s great to know that I can check in with my son via iMessage or Face Time and I don’t have to buy him a cell phone.
The iPod Touch 4G also has some great data storage options. There are 3 sizes to choose from, 8GB, 32GB, or 64GB. For what my son needs I think that 8GB is too little and 64GB is way too much, making the 32GB iPod Touch 4G a perfect fit for my son to have music and pictures and video and all the apps he needs.
When I first started researching the iPod Touch 4G, I thought that it had cell phone capabilities because of the “4G” at the end of the product name. Turns out that 4G really means fourth generation, not the cellular 4G network. For me that was a plus because I don’t want to be stuck in another cell phone contract and have another monthly fee to pay.
I’ve also become very impressed with Apple’s app store and how they filter and approve all the apps they offer. I was nervous about my young son downloading something that had a virus or inappropriate material in it but since Apple checks out every app and holds it to a standard before approving it for a spot in the app store, I won’t have to worry about that anymore.
All in all the iPod Touch 4G seems great. I think the next step is to go to a local electronics retail store and actually play around with an iPod Touch 4G to see if I like it. So many products today seem great in the advertisement or on a review site, but you never truly know if you’ll like it until you try it or test it for yourself.
I’ll keep you posted on how my “hands on experiment” goes. I hope this has been helpful since I know that there aren’t many iPod Touch reviews for kids available.
