HoooRAAAAh!

Finally, it's here!!

I didn't purchase it YET, but I will once the verdict is in regarding the camera quality.

As much as I love my itouch (and sure, it has done a great job with all my abuse to it) I always wanted a camera function like the iphone. D (Soon to be hubs) has the iphone and I usually use his for gps and taking snap shots of price tags or something. Now... if itouch had the gps function without needing 3g... damn that would be HOT. I doubt that I'd ever get the iphone, even though D squeals every time Steve Jobs releases a new version of it. (He has the 3gs and now wants the 4. I'm putting my foot down and told him he can get iphone 5... when it comes out.)

Realistically speaking, no matter how you try to convince me, I would never want to combine my itouch and my cell phone together. I use my itouch extensively and just using it alone in one day I have drained the battery from 100% to 0% many many times. What would happen if all of a sudden I need to use my phone? Hence the separation of my two handy devices. I love to play games while going somewhere in the subway or waiting in general. Having the two devices not sharing one battery leaves me being worry free about the possibility of using up all my battery while playing games or doing something functional, and I can still get/make calls. Separate two devices = peace of mind for people like me that worry about all the little things that many others may not care about. Oh well, that's just me I guess... (Although I'm sure there are others that may share the same concern.)

Also, not to bash the iphone or anything, but I did hear that the new iphone 4's battery usage isn't as good as the older ones due to its multitasking function. Obviously it's a good new function, but by doing several tasks all together, you're using that much more of resource/(battery)power, leaving you with a dead cell phone at the end of the day... or even earlier if you don't carry around the charger.

Anyways... love Apple, love the itouch, but I'll have to see what people say regarding the video/camera function. I'll snatch it up as long as people don't say "the pics are tooooo blurry.." I doubt that would happen though.
