My New iPod!

Hey there! I recently got a new iPod, and I'm super happy! So, today I'm going to tell you all about it.

Here's a first person story:

              . My iPod Touch 1g (First Generation) has ran out of battery. It has a lot of battery issues! Most iPod Touches run out of battery, even if you charge it. I was extremely jealous of owners of the new iPod. First, it could run ios4...

Mini Sub Story/Information About iOS4.

iOS is basically the program a multimedia Apple Device runs on, such as an iPad, an iPod Touch, or an iPhone. 

When the first generation iPod touch came out years ago, it ran iOS1

A year later, when the new iPod Touch came out (with speakers), it ran iOS2.

Another year after, when the third iPod Touch came out, it ran iOS3

(when I say iPod Touch, I mean iPod Touch AND iPhone)

Luckily, Apple has made it very convenient so that the first generation iPod Touch could just "update" their iPod to iOS2 or iOS3. The second and third generations could obviously run ios3 too. 

Now that the new fourth generation iPod Touch has came out, Apple has made it so that FIRST GENERATION iPod's could not update to the iOS4, because it was too old. 

You may think, what's so cool about having iOS4? Well, a lot! 

1.  First, many apps require iOS4, such as iBooks, Cover Orange, and Angry Birds Seasons Lite, just to name a few. 
2. Fourth generation iPod's and iPhones can "Facetime" (Webcam chat)
3. Fourth generation devices have an app called Game Center, which is a social networking app for gamers, basically. You can invite your friends and people around the world to play against you and share high scores. 
4. Multitasking. On an iPod Touch 1g, if you were in the middle of typing a Facebook status and you got a new text, you would have to close Facebook, open your texting app, wait minutes for the logo and opening credits to go away, and then type your text. But, with multitasking, you can double tap the home button and click on your texting app and it brings you right there, straight to your texting app with no opening logo and credits. It doesn't even take a second! Double tap again and go back to Facebook with your half-way typed status! It's pretty similar to tabs on an Internet browser such as Google Chrome. On Google Chrome, you can pause a Youtube video and switch tabs to Facebook. That's similar to multitasking. How would you like it if you had to CLOSE the Youtube tab, Open up Facebook, Close it, and back to Youtube? 
5. Folders. Now, you can organize your apps in Folders. Too bad iPod Touch 1g users can't do this eh?
6. More minor updates, performance and stability updates, better hardware and software, and more secure.

And yes, I own a 16gb iPod Touch 1g, which meant I couldn't have any of the awesome features above. 

Back To My Story:

First, it could run ios4! It also had TWO cameras, which meant you could Facetime! There were speakers and a built-in microphone. 960x640 Amazing Retina Display, and many more. My dad was reading a Future Shop flyer and one of the deals was "Trade in your old iPod Touch and get $75 off when you buy a 32gb or a 64gb Fourth Generation iPod Touch here, at Future Shop. And that's exactly what I did.

The End! 

Not the end of this post, though...
