There has been a huge demand for the Apple iPod Touch and it was sold out the day it was released in the market. The price at the start was a bit high but still lot of people were buying if or waiting in line to buy it. The price of an iPhone at the time of its first release was $599 for I think it was an 8GB version. A couple of months after iPhone’s official release, Apple dropped the price of its iphones considerably by dropping the price of an 8GB version to $399 from its original price of $599. Apple also released a 16GB version at the same time and also released iPod Touch. A 16GB Apple iPhone was priced at $499 which is very reasonable considering the features and storage that it offers. Apple also released an iPhone clone and called it iPod Touch. iPod Touch looks exactly like an iPhone, the only difference between them is, you can’t make phone calls using iPod Touch. You can get an Apple iPod Touch 8GB version at Amazon.com for just $270 $280. This is a very cheap price considering the price at iPhone’s first release. You can purchase an Apple iPod Touch 16GB version at Amazon.com for $360 $369. I can now afford one but I would rather have an unlocked version so I will wait a bit longer for it. An Apple iPod Touch features include,

• MP3 and video playback
• Picture viewing
• Revolutionary multi-touch interface
• Gorgeous 3.5-inch widescreen display
• Music downloads straight from iTunes
• Websurfing using the built-in Wi-Fi

and lots more which you can view at Apple’s iPod Touch page linked above. The only drawback if I can say that is, an iPod Touch doesn’t have a camera and mobile phone features, on it otherwise it would be the full package. This sale might only last till the holiday season so go get one for yourself asap. Also you will get a free shipping from amazon.com

There is also another cool gadget for iPod’s and iPhones which I think most of us is trying to buy but its a concept design yet hasn’t been released. An iRing controller for iPod and iPhone would save a lot of battery life for you iPod and iPhones as you don’t have to light up the screen and the iRing controller would make it very easy to control your iPod and iPhone from your fingers. If anyone knows where I can buy an iRing, please let me know.
