My New Gadget :) The iPod Touch 4G

My new toy :)

The new iPod Touch is thinner and lighter featuring 2 built-in cameras with built-in HD video recording and editing

Features

Camera:

iPod touch now has two built-in cameras—one on the front for FaceTime calls and one on the back for recording HD video. Rear camera can take quick stills (960 x 720) and front camera can take VGA-quality stills —both great for uploading to social networking sites.



FaceTime:

Make video calls over Wi-Fi networks to any other FaceTime-enabled iPod touch or iPhone 4



Retina display:

Everything looks amazing on the Retina display because its pixel density is so high the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Graphics and text look smooth and continuous at any size



HD Video recording:

Record memorable moments with iPod touch, which has built-in HD video recording and editing.



A4 processor:

The Apple-designed A4 processor is powerful yet power efficient. It can easily perform jobs like multitasking, editing video, and FaceTime.



Sensors:

iPod touch now includes a built-in, three-axis gyroscope. When paired with the accelerometer, the gyro allows iPod touch to sense advanced motion—like acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate—for an even better gaming experience.



iOS 4.1 Software:

Includes iOS 4 features like multitasking, folders, enhanced mail, and iBooks, plus Game Center, iTunes TV show rentals (US only), iTunes Ping, and HD video uploads to YouTube and MobileMe.



Game Centre:

The new Game Center app on iPod touch lets customers expand their social gaming network by inviting others to join and by sharing leader boards and achievements.



Built-in mic:

iPod touch has a built-in mic to use with HD video recording, Voice Memos, Voice Control, and other applications that use a mic.



Battery:

Music: Up to 40 hours

Video: Up to 7 hours

Retails in South Africa; 8 gig - R2200.00 | 32 gig - R2999.00 | 64 gig - R3999.00

If you haven't found the perfect xmas gift, i would highly recommend this nifty gadget.

Moments of Clarity

"A few times in my life thus far I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh.

I can never make these moments last.

I cling to them, but like everything, they fade.

I have lived my life on these moments.

They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be."
