iPod touch Final Proof that ipod 4 screen is worse than iphone 4 screen (PICS)

I went as far as to chat with an Apple representative about how much RAM it has, but I pretty much got the same cookie cutter answer back. After that point I didn't want to ask about the screen lol.

ahaha, ill check tomoz with them, but it should have 512mb ram especially with HD video now, as well as the higher quality display for the better quality games

I wouldn't really trust them on this though. All the rumors I've heard as well as the screen shots indicate this is not the same IPS panel used in the iPhone 4. But even if it's not IPS, it's going to be a heck of a screen so I'll be happy. Heck if they just added extra resolution to the older Touch displays without any improvement I'll be happy as a pig in mud.

Bad pics, you have to at least turn the backlight to the same level

I will be so glad when all the info comes out on this cool pod.

IPS or TN or whatever.
512MB or whatever.
Unedited still and video samples from the back cam.

I have been waffling on whether to get to Touch or iPad for about a month. I think that I have decided on the Touch. And will wait for the 2nd gen iPad to come out.

You are paying less so,

DEAL WITH IT

Settle down Beavis.

As long as I can see the screen without any or much difficulty in bright sunlight, the screen isn't an issue for me.

You're wrong. It's not the matter of deserving, it's the matter of Apple price policy. With touch 3rd and iPhone 3GS, according to Apple ppl deserved to have all the features except GSM/camera for 200$, not 500$. That strategy changed with iPod touch 4gen, as we all see it's got many more inferior features to the iPhone than previus iPod touch generations.

The overarching strategy didn't change, which is iPod touch < iPhone. It's a question of which features to chop out of the iPhone to yield the the touch. Previous years they chopped out phone, 3G, camera, microphone and GPS from iPhone to yield a touch. This year they chopped out phone, 3G, GPS, the good 5MP camera in lieu of an inferior camera, and possibly the IPS screen in lieu of a TN screen of same resolution.

It's really a matter of opinion what one would rather have chopped. I'm pretty happy with what Apple came up with this year, particularly the dual cameras with HD rear video cam. Photos are just easier to manage transferring to a comp, editing, printing, storing, so I have no problems taking pictures with a DSLR camera. Videos just are really painful to deal with from a software standpoint, so I just hate taking videos. I am hoping and expecting videos on an iPod touch will be readily transferred to a Mac, edited and burned to DVD.

I could give a flying turd about the difference between IPS and TN on a 4" screen.

It seems to me Apple has struck a good balance this year. You still have some whiners and moaners who will be available to buy future upgrades, and you have some people who are happy. I think ultimately 2010-2011 iPod touch sales will grow over 2009-2010 sales. Mission accomplished for Apple. Again, bottom line is iPod touch < iPhone. Twas always thus and always thus will be. Recognize this, then you'll be able to temper any disappointments.
