PS: Guys please bear with images coz its clicked with Noka 5233 (so not so clear)

Addtional Comments
The Music Player has got loads of Equalizer settings
The Bundled Earphone is good but cant use them for long listening so I used my philips SHH8008 in-ear earphones
Music Quality is damm sweet....& I cant listen beyonfd 80% coz its so loud after dat human ears cant bear dat dB

Video playback is also smooth bcoz of Apple A4 proccessor

While typing in querty keypad the Intellisense dictionary responds good giving smooth flow in typing.

Also the UI is so fluid it gives nice feeling while navigating be it multiple homescreens or image library.
Believe me it zoomed my 1920*1080p wallpapers smoothly

also the animations are superb when u delete or click images....

those who haven't handled or used ipod or iphone let me tell as u can see in homescreen the Calendar icon written "20" on it
its not a static icon it keep changes the number in icon according to date (nice piece of work apple)

Great ..Fast review @Zangetsu ...
hope to see more from you..
for what price did u get it and where did u get it from???

@mods ..plz make a compulsion..to post the cost of the reviewed item (if bought by him)

no offence meant@ anyone

Well, I personally think mentioning price should not be compulsory in reviews, ya market price can be mentioned, but reviews are different thing than Show Off, it's meant for product experience and judging the product.

Many peoples get products with discount and even for free for reviewing them.

So personally I don't support this point.

 

[Zangetsu]

^^Thanx

for what price did u get it and where did u get it from???

I bought it from LT Road @11k

i see a lot of reviews with cost nt being Mentioned many times
no offence meant@ anyone

Price of a product is too easy to find out...
& each buyer will get dat product @ differnt price margin....

it's meant for product experience and judging the product.

.

Doesn't Price also come in product experience ?...i meant VFM ...
if he gets it in a discount mentioning the price and place wud help the people thinking for buying the product..
and regarding getting it free for reviewing , i mentioned in my post that if only he bought it


yea its easy to find out the Money online ..but still
mentioning the price and place wud help additionally for a person looking for buying the supposed product in addition to the Main review itself

 

[Zangetsu]

Well it has shake feature to change music track.....
& also the auto-rotate works in any rotate left or right not like only left rotate in nokia phones

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@ Zangetsu

Nice purchase and good review buddy . I am a huge fan of ipod touch. My brother has a 32gb ipod touch(3rd generation). The audio quality is amazing. I was using his shure sh102 inear earphones.

 

[Zangetsu]

Thanx Jaskanwar Singh & vickybat.

The video is recorded in 1280*720p resolution (30fps) & .mov format.

I have a 3rd gen ipod. Is it worth upgrading to this one?
when an ipod is contaminated an iphone is born. You are lucky you got an ipod.

I though you were saying bear with Justin Beiber's pic

PS: Guys please bear with images coz its clicked with Noka 5233 (so not so clear)

Yes,its worth the upgrade...

ipod is not contaminated & only different between ipod 4G & iphone 4
is camera & call option & design
