Apple's latest offerings (part 1)

Apple iPod Touch

Apple inc. just launched its latest range of products and one of them is the Apple iPod Touch. Why touch you might ask? Well its simple, the folks at Apple have just combined the idea of an Ipod with that cool touch feature everyone is talking about on the iPhone and the result, Ipod Touch.
The iPod Touch resembles very much like the iPhone except it isn't a phone. Its your ordinary iPod with a twist. It houses a very nice 3.5 inch wide screen display so you can watch your videos and photos. It does what an iPod used to do, which is to play hordes of music stored in its 8gb or 16gb storage space. But now the guys at apple have ingeniously integrated a Wi-Fi to it, allowing you to web browse and watch those favourite videos on youtube, how cool is that?

And now the crunch time, how much to fork out for all those goodies packed in a nice slim cool looking device? The 8gb would cost you USD$299 and the 16gb, USD$399 (only 100 bucks difference for double the size, I'd say its a fair deal).

For us folks here in Malaysia, that will be about RM1,050 for the 8gb and RM1,400 for the 16gb (direct conversation base on current rates). However I doubt we'll get it at those prices, try topping that with another RM 200- 300 for taxes and absurd marketing strategies.

If you are persistent in getting it, then just head down to Singapore. It will be cheaper compared to Malaysia and you get to go for a holiday on top of that. *Please note traveling to Singapore and back will probably add up and costs the same if you had just got it here.

No worries in getting warranty issues, as owners can register their products online. So it doesn't matter where you purchased your iPod, as long you've purchased an authentic one from their authorised dealers.

Apple would you send me one for me to write a review on this? *fingers crossed.... tee hee
