November 03, 07 by Alvin

Ahem, first of all let me clarify this: This is “clean” blog on ipod touch, not some erotic stuffs. *cough cough lol

Introducing the new Ipod touch!!

I have to compliment Mr Jobs for bring the whole ifone concept into this music device, while the iphone is still a hot topic throughout the globe.

Being a music device, its totally NOT restricted by the telephone network, which means there is NO NEED to unlock any stupid things(pardon my angst)

kk, lets start with the features before I get carried away.

  • The Ipod Touch comes with a 3.5 inch widescreen display, with the abiliy to switch between landscape and portrait just like the iphone.
  • It  is also WIFI B/G enabled. Which means that you can leech on the free WIFI at your nearest Macdonald’s outlets. IT also means that we can transfer files to each other via WIFI. Sad to say,there are current NO itunes yet.
  • It’s youtube-friendly. With the youtube application installed, you can stream and watch videos from youtube anywhere you like.
  • Also has a built-in Google search and Yahoo! search
  • FIRST music device to implement the “multi-touch” ability.
  • Only available in 8 GB and 16 GB. Price at USD 299 and 399 respectively.

Well, I’m not sure for you guys, but I’m definitely getting one in the near future. Wee~

You can always do a search on the top of our site to find the few post we did on the YP-P2, video clip included.

Although I’m glad that the YP-P2 is going the hit the stores soon, I feel that the launch of iPod Touch has somehow steal the thunder off this sleek looking media player. However, this player has enough looks and features, especially bluetooth, to attract a good number of consumers out there.

Priced at $249.99 USD, I would say wait out for this as the price will tend to drop significantly a few months after it launch.
