Pros

In comparison with the previous gen iPod touch, there are definitely some aspects in which the iPod4 scores well above.

Firstly, it has the Apple’s 1Gz A4 processor and that is a major upgrade. It is the same processor as found in the uber popular iPhone4. It results in faster file transfer, multitasking, video chatting and so on.

Secondly, the design is sleek and slim and it is probably the thinnest iPod ever.

Thirdly, its high definition Retina Display with resolution 960 by 640 cannot be found in any of the other devices in this category. You get amazingly clear text, remarkable graphics and a wonderful gaming experience.

Fourthly, the multi layer touch screen is prompt and quick. Whether moving through the files or controlling the games everything is done with ease.

Fifthly, for the first time you are getting the camera in an iPod. The Apple iPod4 Touch comes with two VGA cameras. The rear one having a resolution of 640 x 480 is good for normal clicking and video shooting. The front one with a resolution of 960 x 720 is perfect for self photo clicking and video chatting. The backside illumination sensor is ideal for low light shooting. You can video chat with your friends using the FaceTime feature when connected over the Wi-Fi.

Sixthly, the 3-axis gyroscope provides high gaming precision. While gaming you get the superior motion sensing. Easy game downloads from the Game Center App.

Cons

Some people think that the cameras are not of very high quality. That is definitely true but at the same time it should be kept in mind that the Apple iPod4 Touch 64 GB is principally a media playing device and the cameras simply come as bonus.

The speakers are not very loud but it is not a thing to worry about because the best musical experience with an iPod can only be achieved with the earphones on.

Whether worth buying?

If you are still in a dilemma of whether to buy iPod 4G Touch, I would suggest to go for it. It is a revolutionary iPod with a combination of the latest technology and stunning design. It is quite surprising how Apple has made this device so thin and incorporated such high end features like A4 processor, dual cameras, HD Retina Display, 3-axis gyroscope and so on, but it is true.
