Oct 19th 2007 07:23 pm Reasons to Buy an iPod Touch Instead of an iPhone
iPhone made many people crazy, but not all of them were desperate enough to go and tie themselves up to two years of cell phone service for using a fancy iPod. Now these people can go ahead and buy the iPod Touch, probably the best iPod ever. Here is a list of reason why you should buy the Touch instead of an iPhone
¨ No need to get tied up in a contract. If music is what you are looking for, along with a fancy gadget, then why sign up for a cell phone service?
¨ There are many cell phones that give better phone functions, while the iPod is the best multi media player around. So why not have a better phone that works on 3G, and have high-speed Internet access, if you have to. Get a Blackberry! While you can use this device for all your calling, and communication purpose, you also have the best multimedia player in the market, which is not only trendy, but also an amazing piece of equipment. You get to keep the best of both worlds!
¨ If your touch ever needs to send back to Apple, either for repairs, or battery replacement, you don’t have to worry about losing touch with the rest of the world. Imagine going without your phone for 15 days, while your iPhone gets itself a new battery!
¨ iPod Touch has 99% of the iPhone features. The only major exceptions are the calling service (obviously), and a lack of e-mail support (you can still use any web based mail though, like Yahoo Mail, G Mail etc.).
¨ Touch is lot cheaper than iPhone. And when you add to it the monthly charge you will be paying over 24 months to your cell phone service provider, this difference comes out to be huge!
So if you have resisted buying iPhone till now, then you do have an option. Don’t get tied up with a costly device, and costlier service. Go ahead, buy an iPod Touch this holiday season.
