iPod Touch + iPod Touch 4.1 User Thread




FaceTime
FaceTime on iPod touch lets you hang out, catch up, and goof off with friends in an entirely new way. With just a tap, you can see what your friends are up to — literally. Witness a prank in action. Or watch your friend on the other side of the country crack up at your stories from last night — new iPod touch to new iPod touch or iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. And all you need to get started is an Apple ID and an email account. You can choose an email account you already have or, if you prefer, set up a new one. You’ll never see fun the same way again.

Retina Display
The Retina display on iPod touch brings out the awesome in anything on it. That’s because it’s the highest-resolution iPod screen ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPod models. In fact, there are so many pixels, the human eye can’t distinguish individual ones. Which makes graphics and images stunningly sharp, and text amazingly crisp. Just like the printed page.

HD video Recording
“You should have seen it!” is a thing of the past. Because with iPod touch, you’ll always have a great HD video camera with you. Say you’re at a party and you see someone popping and locking. You’re ready to capture the moment in all its glory. In high-definition 720p video. You can record video in low-light settings, thanks to the advanced backside illumination sensor.

GameCenter
It’s time to make a game plan. The new Game Center app on iPod touch lets you add more players to your gaming network. Invite friends to join. Then totally dominate them. Take a look at how your score ranks against your friends and other players of each game. Compare game achievements with your friends. Put together a select group of friends to play with. Or choose to automatically go up against people you don’t know in a multiplayer game. So get in the game. And get your friends in it, too.

Sleek new design.
iPod touch has an all-new design that makes it the thinnest, lightest, most amazing iPod touch ever. Holding one is all the proof you need. With its curved design, iPod touch is now a mere 7.2 millimeters thin. Its engineered glass front and stainless steel back feel sleek and smooth in your hand. Turn it on, and you're instantly blown away by the brilliant Retina display. iPod touch is the perfect combination of stunning design and revolutionary technology — brilliant from the outside in.

A4 Processor
The Apple A4 chip is behind, or rather underneath, all the fun you can have on iPod touch. Apple engineers designed the A4 chip to be a remarkably powerful yet remarkably power-efficient mobile processor. With it, iPod touch can easily perform complex jobs such as multitasking, editing video, and placing FaceTime calls. All while maximizing battery life. And fun.

Gyro+Accelerometer
Smooth moves. iPod touch just learned some new moves. It now includes a built-in three-axis gyroscope. When paired with the accelerometer, the gyro makes iPod touch capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate. Translation: More motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience.

Two Cameras
Pod touch captures video with two built-in cameras. It shoots amazing HD 720p video from the back camera. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful footage even in low-light settings. All while the built-in microphone records conversations, music, or any audio at the same time. And on the front of iPod touch, the built-in camera is perfect for making FaceTime calls1 and shooting self-portraits. It’s surprising how much fun can fit into something so small.

Built-in speaker.
A built-in speaker lets you hear the music, dialogue, and action without headphones, perfect for casual listening.

Longer battery life.
Now you can keep on rocking (and watching and playing) even longer. Improved battery life means iPod touch provides up to 36 hours of audio playback or 6 hours of video playback — enough to watch three or four movies between charges.*

Rock ’n’ run with Nike+.
iPod touch offers built-in wireless support for Nike + iPod. All you need to do is insert a Nike + iPod sensor into your shoe and start running.

Music
Flip through your library by album artwork. Create Genius Playlists on the go. And add to your collection by shopping the iTunes Store from any Wi-Fi hotspot.

Movies + TV Shows
Movies and TV shows pop off the 3.5-inch widescreen display. Choose from thousands at the iTunes Store and take them with you everywhere.

Internet
Browse the web with Wi-Fi. Get rich HTML email, including attachments. Get directions and live traffic reports. Feed your YouTube addiction.

Q&A

Q How to Facetime with iPod Touch?
A: Facetime identifies you on the basis of your email address. Just go to Settings > Facetime > On. In case your email address is not verified you will receive the instructions via an email from apple.
When calling an iPod touch, use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.

Q: How to Facetime on iPhone with iPod Touch users?
A: Dummies Guide to Facetime on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch

Q:
1. Just wanna clarify a few things. What is the exact mega pixel for the back camera? I heard dat its below 1 MP.
2. Can the Itouch be used like the Phone GPS? Some say yes, some say no. If it can onli be connected to wifi, means it cannot be used to trace ur location unless u have wifi.
3. But anyway, u can dl da google maps n follow its directs, am I rite?
4. Does Itouch has a FM receiver?
5. Any more elaborations bout the blue tooth? Does it works like ur normal phone bluetooth?

A:
1) camera is around 0.67 megapixels
2) no GPS, but you can use wifi to triangulate your position (not vry accurate though)
3) yes you can use google maps, but you need wifi for that. Unless you are able to preload the directions beforehand
4) FM receiver... not vry clear on this, some said there is but you'll need to jailbreak to use it since it isnt active but i think its quite unlikely
5) bluetooth can only be used to transfer files fr pc to ur pod, no connection btw phones/pods. U can use the bluetooth for games connection though. [by levanter]

the price has been released but the product is not for sale yet T_T

hey guys, any idea how much is 1st gen 32gb ipod touch worth now?

http://www.mybytes.my/ipod_touch.html


8gb only Rm 779..is it true? if true then i will go buy directly..

Previous generations.

where u guys get the ipodtouch from? i still need to save money up though. so i can't hurry. i want to hurry anyway.

so, is it okay to order from apple store? is it gonna be superlate or...?

Got it fr sg, if fr apple shop prob late oct I think.


I'm currently at tropicana mall now, just bought the casing. Around 10+ more I think. The white and grey are still available (best looking) ones to me, and blue and pink. All translucent, I bought the grey one

All iPod casing discussion post moved and continue your discussion in this thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1104445/+120

Please keep this thread for iPod Touch queries.

Thank you

haha. dont to harsh, i think maybe iPod touch 4g will be available end of oct. i also can't tahan already see some get from oversea.

New Model , New version of Thread.

Congratz =)

Here's a sample of the iPod Touch 4's video. Took it yesterday while I was in Sunway Pyramid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_FfP4FpCg

Compared to the iPhone 4, it lacks. The iPhone is much clearer (both still and video). But hey, it's still awesome judging by the size and price.

I've browsed several shops and so far, only the shop right outside the IT center sells the screen protector and casing.

Hi there.

Also people need to watch it in 720p because that's what the ipod touch recorded the video in

Hey man, can you please tell me what's the name of the shop? The one that you said just outside the IT centre.

Thank you.

Regards
Damien

The name of the shop ... If I can remember it correctly, it starts with the letter 'H' or 'Hiro' or something. It's just next to a videogame shop. The IT center I'm referring to is at the top floor in the old block. The one where alot of Ah Beng technicians kept asking 'yes?' whenever you walk by. It's not inside. Just right outside the IT center.

Anyway, if anyone wants to know how's the video is like in various conditions (eg: low light, close up, indoor, outdoor), do let me know and I can do a sample. Capturing is easy. Uploading is hard. The sample video of me driving along a residential area took almost an hour to upload. By the way, the audio capture is rather clear. I even got flagged by YouTube for uploading a copyright music because I was playing a CD when I did the video capture.

Hype!

Thank you so much for the profound details, I really appreciate it.

Also, I've noticed that you made other videos under different lights and conditions when I watched your 1st link. Really appreciate you effort on showing and helping others. Good job bro!

Regards,
Damien

yep, for touch the hd recording's exposure isn't very stable, takes time to adjust to the light outside while iphone is constant.
i noticed some jumps in the frame rate in your youtube link, is it because of compression? or does it even jump in raw uncompressed format in ur pc?

by the way, does that shop only have 1 type of casing model? and what was the model of the case and screen protector you bought?

The iPod touch 4G is pretty amazing for less than 1/2 the price of the iPhone 4 equivalent. All the features you want but without the price.

For 4g Fans those who r still waiting release... i get news from machines that they said is coming VERY VERY soon, and possible next week... btw... wish that information is accurate (any false information don blame me)

some stores said it will be available in 6 weeks time >_<

Thats what they say lor, everytime give false hopes, all apple product like that de. last time i wan get iphone4, i ask maxis, they say august but this wk oni release -.-

The original video doesn't have any jumps. Too bad I couldn't retest it again to confirm coz' already deleted the actual file. Anyway, the initial video format was MOV. I just let YouTube convert it for me, I didn't use any software to pre-convert it first.

There's one dude in the internet who made a great comparison between the Phone and the Pod. The difference is HUGE. Oh, btw, the Pod photo camera is bad ... really bad ... but who cares about photos when you have video ...

Was thinking of getting the Phone instead but these few facts made me avoid the iPone:
- I had to pay over RM2000 even for 2 year telco contract. Singapore only pay SG$300.
- Malaysia 3G is slow and has a usage quota. Singapore has quota but it's over 12GB.

Ok, I'll stop the iPhone rant here. Getting out of topic in this section.

Oh, as for the question regarding the screen protector. I didn't really get any well known brand. It's just a RM68 thingy which I believe is made in China or something. In just one week, I have two obvious scratch marks behind my Pod. I had to simply get something to temporarily shield it before I create prehistoric drawings behind the Pod. RM68 is a good buy. There's a clear screen protector, rubber casing, vertical/horizontal stand and belt pouch.

I don't think next week. Will probably be end October or early November but will definitely be in time for Christmas...... so you can buy this iPod Touch 4G for yourself as X'mas present, nice!

haha i know what u mean, have alot of mini hairlines at my chrome back (1 of the things i hated that remained in the 4th gen)
what u bought fr sunway pyramid sounds exactly like capdase the one i got fr tropicana mall. Price is exactly the same too, i think its probably the same

Hi,

Does any 1 know when Ipod Touch 4g will be able to purchase at store? the apple web store require 4-5 weeks on delivery. I am new to apply, plan to test Ipod touch 4g 32 gb version insteat of iphone as the investment will be cheaper....

@nkl7877 same here. but i want the engraving. but 5 weeks is a torture

Engraving lowers the resale value, in my opinion.

Anyone here wanna try facetime with me?

if we purchase it from the store instead of order online, do we get a free engraving as well?

i checked with the salesman in the store, they said it will available in MY on next month.

so why didn't you check with that salesman in the store whether got free engraving or not?!

cannot. only from online store.

@Voxe : oh yea rite.. but this is my first ipod touch! hahaha i'll see later how then..

Robin92, try mybytes tropicana city mall they help to engrave as well. (not intend to promote the shop)

but is it true tht if we engrave not from the online store it will void warranty?

when i get my ipod touch from apple store i will post it here...i got engraving too

they help with $$ or free?

My dad just got back from US and I just got my ipod touch 4g!! FUCUK YEAH!!

of coure with $$. where got free lunch in this world. [except when you eat at TGI fridays with some cc]

Gratz~~~ Facetime with me?

Haha.Sure =p Btw,who sell ipod touch 4g screen protector and screen?

How many people using new ipod touch here?

I am btw, you can get screen protector from antho1 . Not advertising here just helping

I have an iPhone 4 yet I still want an iPod Touch, it's just... soo... beautiful!

share some photo with u all... how ya quality of ipt4g camera?

if there's a like button for this post, I will click on it

yup the main reason why i prefer the ipod touch 4g is because it is so slimm!!

down side is it is very very easy to get scratch....and finger print without casing.

got casing pula cannot show off the shinniest of ipod

Wait a minute ... I know the location in the pictures. Jalan SS16/1. That's where I live! Wow, this is awesome.

Unless you are not planning to sell it in the foreseeable future or buy it as a gift to some1 , i suggest you better not to engrave it. hehe cheers =)

how much $$ are we talking for the engraving in that shop? haha

•iPod Text Engraving RM 15 for 1 Line 15 Letters
•iPod Nano 4G/5G Graphic/Visual/Picture Engraving
RM 30.00

http://www.mybytes.my/services.html
Cant You guys google ? =.=

hmm looks nice... but dont have ipad engraving
if got i sure design the graphic my own then engrave

really? im at here

Lol exposing the place you live to the public ~ Lets all go gb him! jkjk
Btw, gamecenter kinda lame~ Games have to pay nia .~

Hype.

Well, there are free games. Many I haven't try. What about FarmVille? I don't have facebook account so I can't play the game.

Regards

gamecentre really nothing special la dude,
play godfinger very addicted for me >_<
and playing linken park revenge too xD

Well, since gamecentre came by default, it's just a nice addition to play with friends and outside people. Gain achievements, just like gain trophies in PS3.

Aha, godfinger, good taste buddy. But the game requires net connection to play. Plus, like you said, it can be addictive . I have so many podcats to listen to, and also readings, so I think I'll be pretty occupied apart from playing games.

Owh, and tap tap revenge! Good game as well.

Hey, have you tried aftermath? Please do!

Regards
Damien

GT racing show nice graphic on retina display of ipod touch 4g..hehe..currently addicted to it even though i have bought the game when i'm using the first generation..
