Apple iPod touch 4th Generation

The 4th generation iPod touch inherited many of the features of the iPhone 4, significantly upgrading its visual capabilities and making it more powerful.

The major changes introduced with this model were the addition of Apple’s A4 processor (which also powers the iPhone 4 and the iPad), two cameras (including one user-facing) and support for FaceTime video chats, high-definition video recording, and the inclusion of the high-resolution Retina Display screen. It also includes a three-axis gyroscope for better gaming responsiveness.

As with previous models, the 4th generation touch its 3.5-inch touchscreen, Internet access over WiFi, iPod features, multiple sensors for gaming performance, and App Store support.

It comes in Capacity 8GB, 32GB, 64GB. Screen Size 3.5-inch multitouch screen, High-quality RetinaDisplay screen, Two cameras and FaceTime support, Roomy storage up to 64GB, Thinner and lighter than previous model.

Thanks to the inclusion on the 4th generation iPod touch of many of the new features introduced with the iPhone 4, the new touch invites comparison with the iPhone. In some ways it’s not a flattering comparison - the iPhone’s cameras are better, for instance – but the choice for most people probably isn’t between the iPod touch and the iPhone, but between the iPod touch and another media player or mobile game device.

When viewed that way, the 4th generation iPod touch is, like its predecessors, a winner.
Improved Visuals

As with the iPhone 4, the most apparent and most extensive changes to the new touch are in its visuals.

It sports Apple’s multitouch, high-resolution Retina Display screen, which makes text and images extremely crisp. There’s no other device in the touch’s category (are there any other devices in that category?) that offers text this appealing and easy to read; you won’t see any pixels or rough curves/corners.

Like the iPhone 4, the touch has two cameras, one on the back, the other facing the user. Though this is the same set up as the iPhone, these are not the same cameras. The iPhone 4’s best camera takes 5-megapixel pictures, while the touch’s best camera clocks in at under 1 megapixel. The lower-quality cameras are the result of the touch’s tiny enclosure (a svelte 0.28 inches thick) – to take higher-quality images, the device would have to be thicker.

The touch’s cameras lack zoom and flash, but, on the plus side, both can record video. The back camera records 720p HD video at 30 frames/second.

So, while it's nice to be able to snap photos with the touch, it probably won't convince you to throw away your digital camera.

With the two cameras, touch users can use Apple’s FaceTime video conferencing technology. As more devices gain support for FaceTime (expect to see it appear on the second-generation iPad; Apple has promised to make it available to other companies, too), it will become more useful.

The changes to the touch’s visual capabilities are welcome. Even though the cameras are limited, they add features that you’ll be hard pressed to find on other portable media/game players.
More Robust Guts

The improvements to the 4th generation touch don’t stop at the surface level. They extend to the guts of the device, too.

The touch runs on Apple’s A4 processor, the same speedy chip found in the iPhone 4 and iPad. As a result, it performs as well as the iPhone, based on testing the speed of both devices loading web pages and launching apps.

In other detail areas, though, the touch gets short shrift. For instance, the touch doesn’t include the AC adapter that comes with the iPhone (you’ll have to pay extra for that) and comes with inferior headphones that also lack the built-in remote control. While these aren’t major issues, it would be nice if the touch, with its premium price, also included premium perks. 

The iPod touch has stood alone for many years. Though there have been other MP3 players or portable game devices, no other device has offered the touch’s combination of strong media features, top-notch Internet experience, and vast library of apps. With the 4th generation mode, the touch has widened its lead over the competition. If you’ve already got a mobile phone, or don’t want to pay the iPhone’s monthly fees, there’s no better option for pocket-sized mobile entertainment than the 4th generation iPod touch.

PSP Minis - Little Downloadable Games for PSP

PSP Minis are exclusively downloadable games that became available on the PlayStation Store starting October 1, 2009. These bite-sized games have a 100MB size limit and a $9.99 USD price limit.

The focus for PSP Minis is quick, pick-up-and-play, single-player games. There are a variety of genres represented, though many of the announced games are of the kind usually referred to as "casual."

Sony originally said that there would be 15 games available at launch on October 1, with more than 50 available by the end of the year in both North America and Europe/PAL territories, as well as other regions. When the PSP Minis appeared on October 1, however, there were only 7 titles. Presumably the other 8 will be available soon.

A number of the games so far announced are ports or updates of games previously developed for the iPhone/iPod Touch App Store, Wii Ware, DSi Ware or XBox Live Arcade, but some of them are original to the PSP.

What PSP Minis Are Not

At least in the beginning, PSP Minis will not be multiplayer and will not have online components. There may be the ability to patch or update games online, but Sony wants developers to concentrate on the single-player experience. Online functionality for PSP Minis may be considered for the future, but for now online components are not allowed.

Development and Approval for PSP Minis

Sony is encouraging smaller developers to create games for the PSP Minis line by reducing the cost of the PSP development kit (to $1500 USD) and streamlining the approval process (compared to full-size PSP games). It will still cost more to develop for PSP Minis than for, say, the iPhone, and the approval process is much more stringent in comparison, but not so much as to make PSP Minis beyond the reach of small developers.

The tougher approval process as compared to iPhone games is intended to weed out bad games, potentially giving good products by smaller developers room to shine.

Another plus for PSP Minis development is that Vicious Cycle Software, in an agreement with Sony, will make its Vicious Engine available to developers working on PSP Minis titles. This partnership is intended to allow mid-size and independent developers to quickly and inexpensively create quality games. The Vicious Engine has been used to develop full-size PSP games in a number of quite different genres, and so has proven its flexibility.

Google Coming to PlayStation Portable

Google is coming up to the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and will have a place on the handheld's Cross Media Bar (XMB) menu, Sony said Tuesday.

It will appear when users upgrade their PSPs to the version 4 firmware, which will be available "soon," according to Eric Lempel, director of the PlayStation Network, who was posting on Sony's PlayStation Blog.

"This new upgrade replicates the Google Internet search experience, delivering the same search results that you'd get at www.google.com. And with a search history recall of 20 items, Web searches couldn't be easier," he wrote.

Google will appear in the network section of the XMB. Also new in the version 4 firmware will be the ability to change viewing speed when playing back videos from Memory Stick cards.

Sony has regularly offered updates to the firmware of the PlayStation Portable since it was launched and through such updates has added a host of new features. Previous updates have added features such as a Web browser and support for a wider range of video formats.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 Arcade

The Xbox 360 is an extremely amazing gaming console. I’ve played several games on it and I felt this experience was different.

This version of the Xbox 360 Arcade, the one with the Jasper Chipset, overheats a lot less. I got a good 12 hours in before my first freeze, where I had to restart and everything worked fine again. That’s the only time I’ve had to restart it.


It runs on the IBM PowerPC 3 cores 3.2 GHz Processor. RAM Installed ( Max ) 512 MB ( 512 MB ) GDDR3 SDRAM - Integrated. Cache Memory is 1 MB. Video Output is ATI Xbox 360 - 256-bit - 2D/3D graphics acceleration. Fill Rate is 500 million triangles/sec with Max Resolution (external)
1920 x 1080.


The new Arcades are very quiet. The disc drives are a significant amount less noisy.

The new Arcades use quite a bit less power than their older counterparts. Even the external power supply is noticeably smaller.

Like I had already said, the new Xbox 360 Arcades fixed a lot of the issues that the older Xbox 360s had. This was a nice and welcome change from my clunky and obnoxious Xbox 360 Elite.

The games for the Xbox 360 easily blow the PS3 and Wii out of the water. No question about it. Sure, the wii has it’s novelty games, and the ones that are great party games, but none that would be even remotely fun to play by yourself.  The PS3 has a few select great titles: MGS4 and Killzone 3. The Xbox 360 has games like Halo 3, Gears of War 2, DOA4, etc, etc. There really isn’t any comparision.

The graphics are a touchy subject. Put simply: Any game that is exclusively for the PS3 is going to look better than any game that is made exclusively for the Xbox 360, due in part to the extra 40gb of data that blu-ray games allow. But any game that is made for both the Xbox 260 and the PS3 looks better on the Xbox 360. I don’t know why it is, but it is.

Online play is amazing on the Xbox 360. Does it suck to pay $5 per month for online service? Yes, it does. Would I rather have PSN? Absolutely not. There really is no online experience quite like the Xbox 360s. It is very socially based. I have over 50 friends on Xbox Live, whereas, in the time I owned my PS3 (around 1 year) I had a total of 3 friends. The Xbox 360 is a socially driven machine, whereas the PS3 is driven by multimedia.

The one major downfall to the Xbox 360: The cost of ownership. Want a wireless adapter? That’ll be $80. Want an extra wireless controller? That’s $50. Want a hard drive? That’s $120. Nobody but Microsoft has the rights to make certain accessories for the Xbox 360, which can really make the cost of buying those accessories very high. It’s definitely something to watch out for.

It costs between 127$ to 294$, depends on the location and shop.
