Don't buy!!! You may(will) get addict to its stunning features. If you use this one(or its big brother 32GB/64GB) you will never look at anything else. No mobile phone or MP3/4 player. Can't believe HoW "APPLE" people make such things. Truely ArtistiC !!! If you have slightly more money go for 32GB.

Often we make a mistake of writing reviews and judging products immediately after purchasing. Whenever you purchase a new product, it's novelty and passion for that device makes you feel extremely good although with time, your views tend to change quite a lot.This is what happened with my last smartphone purchase. Therefore I decided to write a review on iPod Touch 5th generation after using it for more than 3 months. Let us first think why do people purchase iPod Touch. Going by the definition of iPod and what it initially meant for can easily be summed up as a 'portable music player'. But trust me you will use for numerous other purposes. I will start with the most mind boggling feature of iPod touch that will change one aspect of life and that is - photography. With an absolutely stunning 5 MP camera, you will fall in love with capturing images. There are tons of awesome apps on appstore that you can use to turn your pictures into magical moments. I didn't think much about the camera aspect while purchasing iPod touch but photo capturing & editing has become my biggest use on this device (Thanks to Instagram !) Trust me, you will laugh at 5 MP quality of any other smartphone after using iPod touch. Next, music !!! It is the best way to create a playlist that you can keep for a long time and don't have to select songs from PC again & again. Although I won't call Apple's in built music app as something exceptionally brilliant but still it's a great way to keep your most loved songs in one place. Earphones are good & so is the sound quality. Gaming --- Apple will provide you most wonderful games in all genres and iPod to me is one of the best gaming device on planet earth. You don't have to worry about battery too much. Games run flawless even if you load it heavily with voluminous games. Screen size, graphics, screen touch quality - all turn your gaming experience into a sheer pleasure ! Movies - Watching movies offers a similar experience that other smartphones do. Other utility apps such as reminders, notes, scanner, etc. too are extremely useful. Haven't read much but iBooks is pretty good. So, to sum up, it is the most gorgeous beauty in the world of technology. A splendid piece of work. Oh wait a minute, I forgot one of the most fantabulous experience that u have just after buying this gadget - lifting it ! Yes, it is so light, that you don't feel any strain on your arms holding it. Some of my recommended apps - 1. Music - Beat, Music Stats, iTuner Radio, My Artists, VLC, PlayerXtreme 2. Games - Mars Miner, Asphalt 8, Pumped, Octagon, Cut the Rope, SSG2 , Chess Free, Subway Surf, Darklings, CubeRacer, PureSkate, FlyRight, Space is Key 3. Photography - PicsArt, WoWCamera, Burst Mode, Touch Color, Slideshows, PhotoFunia, PhotoStudio, Snapseed, Awesome Camera, Pic Jointer, Sketch, Simply HDR, Toon Cam, PopAGraph, Dblcam, photo2cover, Pix, Action Movie Fx 4. Utilities - Pocket, AppofTheDay, S. Folder, KyCalc, JotNot, iTorch 5. Social Media - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Seene, Telegram, BBM, IMDb Also a major question that people will tend to ask.... why iPod touch in this rapidly evolving smartphone market ?? My answer to that: 1. For those, who either can't afford or don't want to spend huge bucks on iPhone go for this one. Also for those who work at fields or factories where they can't afford to take too expensive phones with them 2. A spare gadget apart from smartphone, so that you don't have to worry while playing games & listening to music. 3. Flawless performance. It just doesn't hang. Also, on iOS 6 vs 7 debate, I feel iOS 6 was better in terms of look, speed & accesing features. But iOS 7 is also not bad, certainly not a messy monster that people often portray it. Regarding delivery, it was quick and perfect. Have full confidence in flipkart service. Warning: It's a lethally addictive device & has killer looks. Unfortunately my reading time has gone down after purchasing this gadget !

While Apple fanboys will swear at the iPod touch revolutionizing the world and all things including your life, the fact is, it is a product for the uninformed public. Perhaps someone who is, among other things, ignorant. The iPod touch fares well in every aspect except what its meant to do or assuming its role as a audio-centric device -what its supposed to do. But more on that later. Build Quality and Aesthetics: If there were ever a synonym for beauty and stupidity rolled into one, it would be the iPod touch. It is a beautiful device to hold, the build quality is premium and solid. A twin of the iPhone, the iPod touch fares very well. Sleek and slim, indeed a model of aesthetic brilliance, however there is a crucial flaw perhaps a fault of its own beauty -the iPod touch will threaten to slip out of your hands if your not ever so careful. Another bothersome flaw is the back chromed panel. While it does its part and looks brilliant, it scratches ever so easily. In fact a week with it and the panel looks like its a month old. Disappointing to say the least. Clearly Apple has gone form over functionality here, while the iPod is certainly a looker it leaves much to be desired. Audio: Not for the discerning audiophile. The audio reproduction is "passable" at best, the tiny highs and over emphasized mids are frustratingly annoying. The bass is all over the place, what the hell Apple? You really need a seriously good pair of headphones that cost well over 18k rupees to even consider the audio as good. However, perhaps most average users wont complain here, on the contrary if you're looking for audio quality not better than the audio production of an entry level smartphone, the iPod touch will not disappoint you then. But for the man of measure who wants refined audio production, the iPod touch is mediocre at best. Incredibly disappointing. -No flac, ogg, etc support. Ridiculous. Video & Apps & Misc Here in lies the strength of the iPod touch. With the plethora of apps available on the Apple AppStore, you will not be left wanting for more. What more can be said? One advice, do yourself a favor and jailbreak the dam thing and you will find yourself in app nirvana. Video quality is indeed laudable, 720p is a welcome addition. Its by far offers one of the best video reproductions in pmp devices, actually the only credible video recorder in the pmp market. - Coverts videos during transfers. Utter nonsense on Apple's part. Battery life & Display & Extra The battery life of the iPod touch outlasts its rivals by a safe margin, video playback is phenomenal and the iPod touch does not disappoint. On a day to day use, the iPod touch goes for a whole week! And that is indeed impressive. The display is a thing to behold. Absolutely gorgeous. Sharp and eyegasimcally beautiful. Photos and videos are a joy to watch on the iPod touch. So is typing texts and using the plethora of apps. The high density retina display does not disappoint. No arguments here. -bundled earphones are an insult to your ears, not only do they sound horrible, the dam things get discolored in a matter of days. -Watch out as the chromed back is as delicate as it looks and gets easily scratched. Simply putting it on a table top and picking it up results in fine scratches. Buy a silicone cover. -iTunes headache. Downsizes full resolutions photos. Irritating as hell. Conclusion: The iPod touch is a device of multiple talents, it takes video brilliantly and the AppStore is a deal clincher for some, the retina display is addictive and the device on a whole exhibits a sense of premium finish. Unfortunately premium looks and finish aren't exclusive as rivals such as Cowon have pmp's that are equally classy and solid all the while poviding sublime audio reproduction -something the iPod touch fails miserably. The audio quality is disgustingly poor and for the discerning gentleman an insult at this price point. Average users will find the device restrictive. Indeed, to purchase the iPod touch one has to be awfully ignorant or a fanboy and for some ignorance is better.

While the itouch is well known for what it is, one of the best portable gadgets that can play music for you. However as far as this particular model is concerned. Though it was announced along with the 5th gen for iTouch, This is merely a 'Gen 4' 16GB ipod. So don't get confused for it being lauched with gen 5. The 8GB gen 4(same dimensions as this one) ipod has been discontinued to support for 16GB variant. 5G(5th gen) ipods are available only in 32 & 64 GB variants.

I may have borrowed these words from iPhone 5. But this is truly an awesome product from Apple. It is a must have for those who are looking only for pure entertainment. In fact, not many are aware that the iPod Touch is the best Gaming device. It has almost all the features available on an iPhone. And most importantly it is available at less than half the price of an iPhone. Pros - Awesome touch experience. You can immediately find the difference between an Apple interface and other devices. Trust me you will love this. Very good Camera, especially when in good light conditions. The iPod Touch 5G has a 5 MP Camera with Auto Focus and the new Panorama feature also available in the iPhone 5. You may not require your good old Digicam as it is good enough for decent pictures. It also has a front facing camera which is very good for video calls. Amazing array of applications are available for this iPod. In fact, almost all apps made for iPhone 5 are compatible for this device too. There are numerous useful free Apps. The music quality is really good. This was the main reason to opt for this device. Managing your music is extremely effortless and easy. Retina Display makes watching movies on this device a delight. You will love to watch movies and play games on your iPod. The graphics are awesome and the A5 Dual Core processor does a brilliant job on this front. This iPod supports Air Play. You can watch movies or play games from your iPod to your HDTV (You must purchase an Apple TV to avail this feature). The much awaited Siri is now available in iPod Touch 5G. It is amazing to see how Siri works. Compared to the past, Siri is now much improved. It is very very useful particularly while composing e-mails and messages as it takes your dictation flawlessly (though not always but 95% accurately). The design of the iPod is fantastic. There is not a day I can't stop appreciating the device for its beauty, thinness and weight. Video calls especially through Facetime is extremely useful and excellent. You can call the concerned person whenever you want at your finger tips. Skype, is the other option. Finally it can be used as a pocket computer either for making purchases or making payments online effortlessly. Unlike an Android device, you can be safe to indulge in financial transactions without much concern. You will definitely find this useful. Cons - Internet is accessed mainly through Wi-FI. India is not a Wi-Fi country. Hence you may not be able to access the internet always especially when you are away from home. Apple supports limited Video Formats which causes much annoyance. Movies or Videos must be converted to iPod Touch supported formats in order to transfer and play them on the iPod. However it is best to use apps such as VLC Player which can resolve this issue at once. It features a 1030 mAh Battery which I felt is inadequate, as playing 3D games can kill the battery in less than 3 hours. However for other games, music and movies the iPod gives you a good deal with the battery. Camera performs poorly in low light conditions. Apple releases iOS updates from time to time. While this fixes some bugs, it can also result in side effects like battery drainage and other issues. It may be the affordable compared to a iPhone, but it is still expensive. But if you are looking to enjoy the apple ecosystem and cannot afford an iPhone, this is the cheapest all in one device from apple. My recommendation? Go for it! P.S.: In case, WIFI is unavailable, there is another way to access the Internet. All you need to do is turn on the Bluetooth on both your iPod Touch and your 3G or any internet enabled mobile phone. Once you connect the iPod Touch with your phone, you can happily start using the internet!
