Sometimes it seems like Apple never stops coming out with cool new products that can make your life better.
They started this trend in the early 2000s when they released the first iPod. Although there were other MP3 players at the time, the market was very scattered and the storage capacity on those devices was nothing to brag about. No one seemed to be able to get it right. Apple’s iPod eventually came to dominate the market, and is probably the main reason for its success to this day. A similar phenomenon occurred when Apple released the first iPhone. Many companies had tried to launch smartphones, but none of them managed to catch on. Today’s smartphone market is thriving, but mostly because the other big companies have learned from Apple and emulated its ideas. Finally, the current success of the iPad has shown that Apple is capable of achieving what was previously unthinkable: creating the first successful tablet. Every sci-fi filmmaker knew that tablets were the future, but no one had been able to create a device that everyone wanted. Now that Apple has finally done it, we can only hope that the other computer manufacturers improve the technology.
If you want to participate in this madness, you may have wondered which of these “I” devices is the best to buy. Well, it all depends on your own personal needs. The Apple iPod Touch, iPhone 4, and iPad all run similar software and can all easily connect to your Apple MacBook, but which one is right for you? Let’s take a closer look at the considerations.
The first “I” device you might want to consider is the iPhone 4. This is particularly true if you’re in the market for a new phone. The iPhone 4 is the best iPhone ever produced. It has two cameras and will let you browse the Internet over Wi-Fi or AT&T’s ultra-fast 3G network. You can store up to 32GB of media files on it, which should be more than enough storage space. Even better is the price, which ranges from $199 to $299.
If you already have a phone you like, but still want all the benefits of an iPhone, then you might want to consider the iPod Touch. This device is extremely similar to the iPhone in almost every way. Of course, you don’t have a phone, which also means you can only connect to the Internet via WiFi. It also doesn’t have GPS like the iPhone. Storage can go up to 64 GB.
Finally, the iPad may be the right choice if you want something a bit bigger. This one doesn’t have a phone either, but you do have the option to upgrade to the 3G model so you can connect to the Internet anytime you’re within cell phone range. Just like the iPod Touch, you can get up to 64GB of storage space. This is the most expensive of the “I’s”, ranging from $499 to $829. However, you can sometimes find iPad deals.
