Apple iPod touch (5th generation)

Verge Review

It all started with an iPod touch, a gift from my parents years ago. I’ve since bought a half-dozen more iPods, two iPhones, an iPad, and a MacBook Air. Somehow I'm sure Apple planned it that way. The touch is the entry point into people’s worlds, the easy and kid-friendly device that has gotten so many people hooked on iOS. It's also the de facto MP3 player, the device that became synonymous with its function the way tissues are just called Kleenex now. This year, Apple bestowed upon...

    Awesome design that fits much better in hands, but a kind of slippery due to fully Aluminium body. Anodized Aluminium plays its role very well by defending the iPod against scratches. Music in earpods is next to best, but they can't be used for a longer time continously. Front & Rear cam do their jobs well with 720P & 1080P respectively. App rendering is smoother than expected. Loop fits very well at its place. WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity is enhanced due to good outer positioning of their connecting panel.
