QUOTE(T09 @ Sep 4 2010, 11:07 PM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Touch#Co...del_comparisons That was in reference to the 3G iPod touch... WWDC was back in June 2010 which the iPod touch 4 was not announced yet...read the last sentence, does it means some features r only available for 32&64GB of ipod touch 4 but not for 8GB? |

I don't get it... What's with these ppl's obsession for IPS technology...? IPS just brings about more accurate color on a wider angle display. And those ppl who really needs color accuracy is for photographers to printing publishers. Do ppl really do editing on the iPod touch's miserably small screen...? As for wide angle, why bother if I'm the only one staring at the screen...? Most of the time, ppl would detest having second or a third pair of public eyes sneaking onto their screen. Don't tell me there are people who would actually stare at the touch display at an angle...?
IPS on Apple portable iDevices (with the exception of the iPad) is a marketing hype as far as I'm concern... |

QUOTE(frega @ Sep 5 2010, 01:13 AM) IPS could be useful say when 2 people are watching a movie together. or maybe trying to look at stuff (cooking recipes?) from afar and at an angle. Both instances would strain my eyes... I would prefer to do that with an iPad instead... |

QUOTE(frega @ Sep 5 2010, 01:20 AM) not everyone has an ipad...not that its sold here yet. IPS might not be important for people with ipads. i dont see a reason to NOT expect a quality display, apple use IPS in all their products. When I mentioned iPad, that's me... Other people could have other means of watching shows and cook up a good recipe short of straining their eyes.only reason i can think of they excluded it cos LG was crying they couldnt make them fast enough. And you're wrong... Apple did not use IPS on all of their products... MacBooks and MacBook Pros does not have IPS yet... |

QUOTE(jedi_dc @ Sep 5 2010, 11:53 AM) Well. Please lar... your glass on the touch will reflect the shit out of your display... First of all . i mean no offense to u or any other party. I'm not obsessed with IPS technology, i just want whats better. I did not state that if there's no IPS. i wont buy it. It's just another addition to its awesome-ness  We'll. for instance, i want a sharper screen for browsing the net without currently zooming away to see words. ( LYN ) . Correct me if im wrong , IPS display also allows a better view in sunlight , no? I dont know about others . but imagine IPS display in a small thing like that at an affordable price ..   Maybe you have not been clear about the advantages of IPS technology. It has nothing to do with enhancing screen display under sunlight... Please read more on IPS tech.... |

QUOTE(jedi_dc @ Sep 5 2010, 05:38 PM) I did say correct me if im wrong there's a big difference between under the sunlight, and a well-lit environment... your level of english offended me...  IPS provides a more sharper image with a wider viewing angle and works awesome under sunlight. Sometimes i wonder why u think so straight.. not like anyone's gonna stand under the sun directly to play their touch.. What i mean under sunlight is a bright location , eg : coffee shop . Again, i mean no offense.  This post has been edited by Eithanius: Sep 5 2010, 06:01 PM |

QUOTE(wongpeter @ Sep 5 2010, 06:27 PM) lol, lets not get too wrapped up with this IPS thingy. Actually I was thinking of getting the iTouch 3G when the ITouch 4G is released. My reasoning is that Apple prices their new offerings at a premium and I was thinking that since the iTouch 3G 64GB was RM1599 so the iTouch 4G 64GB may be in the region of RM1899. I was hoping the resellers will drop the price of the 3G substantially to get rid of old stocks. I used to have a 2G touch, and the near-maximum brightness level is more than enough to offset some "sunlight" as jedi_dc put it... IPS is irrelevant. My only concern is some yellowish tint on the screen, it's prevalent on the 3G...I don't mind it doesnt have IPS cos if I wanna watch porn I'll do it on my laptop or desktop! I'm interested in the iTouch for the music and the games. If the 3G 64GB can drop to around RM900 or less I will seriously consider it.  @jedi_dc: seriously though, your English facility is decent enough. I've seen far worse. Not possible for substantial drop in price for resellers, but then again if they are desperate, they might bundle some freebies... I've got some e-coupons that will bring the 4G touches cheaper than those of old stocks from resellers and even cheaper than those mass-selling of used 3G touches on LYN... so it's just a matter of 32GB or 64GB for me.

QUOTE(T09 @ Sep 6 2010, 08:31 PM) yup been wondering abt tis too, mayb bcos i realy nt so into the technology but a VGA camera can record HD video?  QUOTE(wongpeter @ Sep 6 2010, 08:50 PM) hd recording = video vga = camera (still picture) QUOTE(shadowblack @ Sep 6 2010, 08:59 PM) Means that ipod camera is far worst than iphone? to quote my own post from a different thread...QUOTE(Eithanius @ Sep 2 2010, 09:41 PM) 960x720 = 691200 = 0.7MP... As to why 0.7MP can't be HD, why not...? After all it's 720p HD in 4:3 ratio as compared to a typical 720p HD movie of 16:9 ratio which is 1280x720. Even then 1280x720 only gives you 0.9MP... People get the wrong idea that to achieve HD it has to be 2MP and above. Apple did not claim that it is full-HD, which is 1920x1080, or 1440x1080 in 4:3 ratio... They did say it's 720p HD as stated on the spec sheet... |

QUOTE(SilentSerpent @ Sep 6 2010, 09:43 PM) personally, i prefer a good solid camera with high MP count rather than having a VGA that records HD videos. then it's either won't fit onto the touch form factor, or the touch will be as thick as the iphone...i'll get a separate camera for that... |
