hey I'm dolla bell for cnet.com today giving you a first look at the fourth-generation Apple iPod Touch now this is type of Li not the first first look this is probably the second or third first look since this design of the iPod Touch has been around for this is I think going on its third year you get 16 gigabytes of storage for $199 and this is the most affordable entry point into Apple's iOS ecosystem now this probably one of the most underrated iPods out there next to the iPod Classic personally though this is probably the iPod I would buy myself the price is right at $199 for $249 you can bump up to a 32 gigabyte capacity it's a time-tested design it has the old 30 pin connector on the bottom so it's going to work with a ton of accessories that are already out there on the market and you get all the fun of iOS you get the most recent version of iOS all the apps all the games you get bluetooth on here airplay Nike+ integration all the stuff you're used to seeing on iPod Touch or an iPhone or an iPad which you get in this small design and like I said it's the price is perfect you're also getting twice the capacity that you got on last year's model which was offered $199 just eight gigabytes this time you're getting 16 gigabytes for the same amount it's a good deal so there's a newer iPod touch out there the fifth generation which gives you a larger 4-inch screen it's got a better camera on the back a lighter thinner design but it's $100 more then you're gonna be paying for this for me the 3.5 inch screen isn't that much smaller the processor to me what I'm not for my needs isn't that much faster you're getting all the same stuff that you love about iOS but just in a more affordable package I say the downside of going with this version of the iPod Touch and instead of the most recent set you're dealing with a slightly heavier design a smaller screen slower processor if you're really into games you want stay on the cutting edge go with the faster processor in the fifth generation iPod Touch this to me is like the my iPod Classic this is a time-tested design it's been around for a while a lot of great software for this a lot of great apps a lot of great things you can do with an iPod Touch $199 is a great selling point so there you go that's the 4th generation Apple iPod touch it's not the fastest it's not the flashiest it's not the latest or the biggest but at $199 I can accept a lot of those sacrifices for a great product for cnet.com I'm Donald Bell giving a second first look at the fourth generation Apple iPod touch
