With today’s announcement of new iPods, I must admit I’m really disappointed… I was ready to shout out a few dollars away at Apple to replace my first generation iPod Touch, but the new models does not satisfy me at all.
First, the 8 gig is the exact same model that the one of last year, except for the software version. The 32 and 64 gigs are better, using the same CPU and memory as the new iPhone 3GS, but no camera? No way I’ll buy that!
Not to mention another feature I wanted to have: a GPS. Like I mention previously, many apps now make usage of the core location features in the iPhone, but on the Touch, it is based only on Wifi networks around you. Useless if you’re not in an area with Wifi…
Sorry Apple, but this time is not the time I will upgrade my iPod Touch. I do not feel really bad still using it, after 2 years, just to have a barely more usable iPod. Maybe next time, who knows…
