Hardware Review: Apple iPod Touch 2010

• Sep 21, 2010 from smr in *
  The new iPod Touch offers one huge new feature and that is a camera. Beyond that, it is really the same old iPod Touch. The ability to use FaceTime or any of a growing number of video chatting applications will prove to be one of the best features on mobile devices in the coming months. The iPod Touch is a slender device and despite its size, it still feels well crafted. I personally hope to see a GPS function hit the iPod Touch some time soon as it will make using Nike+ that much better, but the way it is implemented by Apple really requires 3G, at least with todays technology. If you are looking for reasons to part with your money, then look no further than this device: dual camera's, A4 processor, and a variety of apps that will drain money out of your pockets 99 at a time.
  
  Hardware
  The first thing you notice is that the iPod Touch draws from its original design vs. taking the new design of the iPhone 4. The rear panel is still chromed and much like the screen of the iPhone, and iPad, the iPod Touch leaves evidence each time a finger touches it. What is amazing is how thin the new device is. If you owned a prior generation iPod Touch the first thing you notice beyond the camera when you touch the device is how thin it really feels. When you compare the old and new side-by-side you can see the size difference is more than just an impression.
  The new iPod performs better with iOS 4 than the prior generation, and this is likely due to the A4 processor that powers not just the iPod Touch, but the iPhone, iPad, and AppleTV. Apple, unlike what Research in Motion (RIM) did with the BlackBerry Torch, provides more than enough processor power in their new devices.
  
  The buttons on the iPod Touch have changed substantially. While the device still only has power/sleep, volume up/down, and home buttons, the style and placement has shifted. The power/sleep button is now on the opposite side, and upper right when you are looking at the front glass of the unit. Additionally, the volume buttons are now two separate buttons vs. a single exposed rocker button. The power/sleep button is harder to press for two reasons. First, the button is more on the back than top of the unit due to the ultra thin design. Second, the actual location has changed too, especially if you are used to pressing the button on the other side, since you naturally look to press in the old location.
  
  Sound Quality
  Once you plug-in a good headset like the VModa Vibe II it is difficult to have poor sound quality. Where the iPod Touch does suffer is with the built-in speaker. The speaker phone is critical for me because after a long day of travel while using headsets, when I arrive at my hotel I want the built-in speaker to avoid additional headset use. I have become used to using the X-Mini Capsule Speaker which provides better audio quality than any speaker I have heard on a mobile device, so that helps. But, it is also one more thing to carry.
  Something that does annoy me on the iPod Touch has to do with silent mode. On the iPhone there is a rocker switch to quickly change from an audible ring to vibrate. The iPod Touch cannot vibrate but that does not mean I don't want to move to silent mode. The only way to do this is via the settings and turning off all notifications. This is not new to this model, but it is something to keep in mind, and something I believe that should have been dealt with long since by Apple.
  FaceTime
  
  FaceTime is not ground breaking technology. In fact I have been doing video calls from my laptop for about 5-7 years. Regardless, the real benefit of FaceTime is how easy it is to use. The requirement of Wi-Fi only is annoying but the simplicity exposes a whole new group of people to the obvious and undeniable value of video calling. For the same reason you would rather have a face-to-face conversation, you will see value in FaceTime over traditional voice-only calls. I hope in the near future you will be able to have video calls from computers to mobile devices as easy as it is with FaceTime. It appears that the market is heading in that direction, but it is still not certain.
  The only challenge I had with FaceTime was when I tried to call an iPhone 4 user that had not yet upgraded to 4.1. I wish FaceTime from an iPod Touch could keep your email address private and instead use a unique identifier. Think about how the BlackBerry can do BlackBerry Messenger without the phone number exchange, just using a PIN instead.
  Camera/Video Camera
  The camera on the iPod Touch is good enough, but it is not as good as the iPhone. One the other hand, it also does not come with a service contract. I don't have a Nikon D3X, Canon 1Ds Mark III, Pioneer Kuro, or Burger Yacht thus the quality images produced with the iPod Touch are fine for me. Side-by-side there is a noticeable image difference but just like buying a flat screen TV, I have no plans on comparing them side-by-side with anything. If I need a quality image I will use my Nikon D5000.

An iPhone 4S User’s Weekend with the Nokia Lumia 900 | Mac|Life

• Apr 09, 2012 from mrpither(h)
  Despite having an iPhone since the original model launched in 2007, curiosity sometimes drives us into the arms of competing products -- especially ones as well-hyped as Nokia’s new Lumia 900, which many predict could be the first real shot Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform has for success. While curiosity may kill the cat, it certainly didn’t do us any harm after swapping our iPhone 4S for the new Nokia Lumia 900 last weekend. It’s a big launch for the Finnish cell phone giant, whose brand has waned significantly here in the United States, but also for Microsoft, whose Windows Phone platform has yet to gain traction against iOS and Android after nearly two years.   Why Windows Mobile? This isn’t our first time straying from iOS -- we dabbled briefly with the original Palm Pre at launch and have fondled a number of Android-based handsets as well. webOS was promising but poorly managed, where Android borrows so much from iOS it’s hard not to agree with Steve Jobs branding it a “stolen” product in his official biography. That’s why Windows Phone 7 platform has piqued our interest -- Microsoft has created an entirely new concept with its tiled “Metro” interface, which looks and feels like nothing else on mobile. All that’s missing is the right hardware to make it attractive to the masses, which finally arrived this month with the Nokia Lumia 900.   Enter Lumia Nokia has always been known for slick hardware, and the Lumia 900 is no exception. The basic look has been borrowed from the Nokia N9 its more recent cousin, the Lumia 800, but features a larger 4.3-inch 480x800 AMOLED display with ClearBlack technology. Not only does that promise deep, rich black levels, but also a screen that’s much easier to see outdoors. An 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics also records video up to 720p, while a 1MP front camera allows for video chat. Available in cyan or black (with a white model arriving later this month), the Nokia Lumia 900 is topped off with 16GB of internal storage and uses AT&T’s rapidly expanding 4G LTE network for fast data speeds.   Friday, Part One: A Strange New World Our journey begins as it usually does: With a small cardboard box delivered by FedEx. We wasted no time tearing into the box and extracting the handset, then it was time to pop the micro-SIM out of our iPhone 4S, which would effectively be relegated to a Wi-Fi only iPod touch for the remainder of the weekend. The Lumia 900 boots up in just under 30 seconds, which feels like greased lightning compared to nearly 50 seconds for the iPhone 4S. While we were able to make phone calls, our data, MMS and visual voicemail was completely MIA. The solution was revealed over the course of a few calls to AT&T, where they swapped our unlimited iPhone data plan to unlimited 4G LTE. Since AT&T LTE doesn’t yet exist in our area, there was no need to swap out SIM cards, and we can easily return to the iPhone 4S (but only at the usual HSPA+ speeds) without a problem, despite warnings to the contrary from Ma Bell’s overly cautious tech support reps. All Windows Phone devices include three capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen for Back, Start/Home and Bing Search, similar to those made popular by Android. A hardware camera button is also standard for WP devices, and on the Lumia 900 it resides on the right side, below the power/lock button and volume rocker. The lock screen echoes most modern smartphones, showing the time and date as well as any calendar events coming up, with antenna, Wi-Fi and battery levels at top (these are hidden once the screen is unlocked, but a swiping down from the top briefly reveals them). Once you unlock the device by sliding up, that’s where the similarities to iOS or Android end. Sliding this screen left reveals the Application List, an alphabetical view of everything installed on the handset. Once you’ve installed more than 40 apps, the list gets separated by the first letter of its name; tapping on a letter calls up a grid for quickly jumping to any letter of the alphabet. Apps can be pinned on the home screen or deleted entirely -- and that includes the apps that come preinstalled, unlike so many Android smartphones where you’re stuck with them. (Kudos to MSFT for that!)   Friday, Part Two: Apps and Marketplace Five AT&T-specific apps come preinstalled: AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T myWireless, AT&T Navigator, AT&T Radio and AT&T U-verse Mobile. Aside from Radio, all of these are available to iPhone users as well. Nokia apps don’t come preinstalled, but are available in their own section of the Windows Phone Marketplace and include exclusive apps such as ESPN, Creative Studio (for editing photos) and Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps and Nokia Transit for free turn-by-turn navigation.
