Why Choose The iPod Touch
The primary reason to choose an iPod touch over all of the other iPods is because it is the perfect balance between price and functionality. Think about it for a moment, many people look at iPod touch users and say, why not just get an iPhone or an iPad? Well the answer to this is that many people do not want the larger size of the iPad and they certainly do not want the monthly costs involved with owning an iPhone. On the other hand there are many iPod users that wonder why buy an iPod Touch when you can buy an iPod classic that has a much greater storage capacity. The answer to those people is that most people do not need 160GB of storage offered in the iPod classic and the iPod touch can always stream content or download it within any area that has wi-fi.
As you can see from the above two primary scenarios the iPod Touch is a balanced device. It offers everything you can get in an iPod classic and everything that is wonderful about an iPhone into a package that is more convenient to use and carry than an iPad. The touch fits into a perfect sized niche. Its for the consumer that wants a little of everything at the best possible price.
This leads to the overall functions within the iPod touch. Why is it better than an iPhone? For many users the answers lies in the fact that many metropolitan areas offer free access to city wide wi-fi. You can even find it on trains and buses between cities. In fact, as the we move forward it is becoming increasingly popular for even McDonald’s to offer free wi-fi. As a result the iPod Touch can quickly tap into the wi-fi and using various apps like Skype instantly turn into a full fledged phone, all without the high cost of the AT&T or other wireless network, not to mention the exorbitant extra costs of paying for downloaded gigabytes of content each month. The iPod Touch avoids all of these concerns and in the end, effectively becomes a smart persons iPhone.
