iPod Touch 4G vs 3G – Hardware Tour, Size And Retina Display Comparison

It’s only one year ago when I got gifted my 8GB iPod Touch 3rd generation and started discovering and enjoying the world of iOS and that ever-growing AppStore with thousands of cool apps and games. I was hooked almost instantly and used it extensively for a while, then all of a sudden, it started gathering dust in my drawer for a couple of months, and I was back in my old Symbian routine, using a Nokia E72 and N97 Mini. That was until I decided to take the iPod Touch back again, jailbreak it because I felt I was missing an opportunity there, and with multitasking enabled, we became the “bestest” of friends and stayed that way ever since. Lately, I’ve even been using it more and more, relying on it for all my Music and Gaming needs, for my RSS feeds with Reeder, for all my medical apps needs, and a lot of other functions too. Needless to say, those 8GB filled up pretty fast and I was battling the free MBs at least once or twice a week.

That was until the new generation of iPod Touch was announced, and the 32GB one was presented at a relatively affordable price, with all the novelties inside. I couldn’t help but cave in. And I’m pretty excited to say that I’ve been a happy happy camper ever since.

Sporting some new widgets on the homescreen, a lot of usability improvements and the first Nokia device to possess Lifecasting with Ovi (the result of a new partnership with Facebook), the N97 mini is seriously a social media addicts’s heaven.

Lifecasting is an innovative concept which is going to allow users to update their Facebook status directly from the homescreen along with the geo location details. With the ability to completely customise the homescreen, users will be now able to customize their N97 Mini to preference and make it truly unique. The Nokia N97 mini also works seamlessly with Ovi Store from where users can add some cool new applications, widgets, ringtones and other content onto their device.
