apple iPod touch 3rd generation

Apple seems like always try to improve the powerful iPod touch. It shown by the comes of the third generation of iPod touches. The iPod 3rd generation looks identical to the 2nd generation models, but the capacities and prices are improved. There’s no built-in video camera, as had been rumored, which is a bit of a surprise, considering the less-expensive and much-tinier nano got one.

With the touch, Apple’s focus remains firmly on music, and, more so than ever, portable gaming. Along with a nice speed bump come some app organization improvements and new Genius features, all of which are welcome additions. Even if there’s no exciting surprise with this touch iteration, after three long years, there’s still not a better portable media player out there.

For those who’d hoped for the inclusion of a still camera or video recorder, or for a dashing leap to a 128GB capacity, they’ll have to settle for some extra speed and useful-if-modest software improvements in the latest iPod touch.

In the newest iPod 3GS, Apple claims that the 32GB and 64GB versions of the device are 50 percent faster than the previous iteration (the 8GB touch doesn’t get the hardware upgrade). Also, the higher capacity models include support for OpenGL ES Version 2.0, which lets developers create games and apps with better graphics. This is good news for gamers and surfers.
