The new ipod touch has been updated to a higher level. If you have not seen the recent changes, take a quick look at this review article. Here we will talk about the ipod touch and some of the popular games that others are finding exciting to play.

The ipod touch is a great little device that can do more than just play games. It can play music and videos also. The small and thin outline that this ipod has is a marvelous way to take your games and other entertainment with you. You can share some games over the Wi-Fi connection that the ipod touch also has. This makes gaming twice as fun ! This device only weighs just over four ounces and is barely over a half inch in depth. It fits in many places even a cell phone will not. What are some of the games that the ipod touch has ?

One ipod touch game is Topple. Topple is similar to the old standby Tetris and involves stacking and balancing blocks. Topple has been called one of the most addicting games that the ipod has. Another is one of my favorites; “Pinball Dreaming”. You already know what this games does by its name, but it is a remastered version of the classic Amiga arcade simulation. This is another addicting game you will love to play. A very unique game is called Touchgrind. This is a game where you play skateboard but you use your finger on the screen of the ipod touch to pull off stunts and tricks. This game takes some skill and again, you will find yourself mesmerized with the fun this games brings.

The iPod was introduced back in October of 2001 and the iPod touch was brought in during 2007. From the first generation of the iPod touch it was a success. Here in this article we will review the features of the iPod touch and see what new things it is now capable of.

Thankfully one of the new things the iPod touch is capable of is playing games longer. The battery has a longer life and now can play audio for thirty six hours and video for six hours. This was a great upgrade to an already great player. You can play or watch or listen longer. The iPod touch has a built-in speaker so you no longer need to use head phones to hear the audio. Hands free listening is a cool addition and one that I really like.

If the iPod touch feels better in your hand now, it is not by chance. The folks at Apple have made this machine “stunningly” thin and the cover is none other than stainless steel. It looks good and feels better. This iPod will slip into your pocket super fast and take up less room than most any of your other cell phones, since it is only .33 inch ( 8.5 millimeters ) thick. It uses a flash drive so there are no moving parts. The size of the drive is huge, up to 32 Gigabytes. That is up to 7000 songs or 40 hours of video !

If you happen to be getting tired of seeing the iPhone there is something you should see. It is called the Palm Pre. Palm has pretty much placed it all on the line with the advent of this smartphone. Perhaps we should call the Palm Pre the “super” smartphone. Take a look at this review and see what you think.

The Palm Pre looks great. It feels great. When you slip it into your pocket it just “feels right”. Okay, with all the feel good stuff aside, how does this smartphone perform ? In a word, spectacular. With a screen that is better than the iPhone and apps that operate easier than the Apple contender, you are just scratching the surface of the abilities of the Palm Pre.

This is the first phone from Palm to use the new WebOS platform. This is definitely one of the first review topics for the Palm Pre. The operating system is undoubtedly a winner. Palm has gone all out and made something that you can use and use and use some more. You will like how you can take your contacts from Facebook and install them into the Pre. Then you will like it again when you do the same with google. The transition will be seamless. Thoughtful planning went into this smartphone and you can feel it when you use it. The email notifications are easily noticed, but not obtrusive. Another word to describe the capabilities of the Palm Pre is “accomplished”. Palm has beaten the google Android and all is well.

Get ready for some fun because Nokia is pulling out all the stops. The rumors are no more rumors because the Nokia N900 is slated to be with us sometime before the end of the year. Read this review to see what has been taking place with this great new smartphone.

The N900 is also called the Rover or the RX-51. It has a brand new killer operating system made by Maemo, which is made by Linux. The operating system is called Maemo 5 and during development was named “Fremantle”. What does this Android-killer do ? For starters, it comes with a browser from the same people who make Firefox. Firefox is the most popular internet browser. The N900 Rover has a regular hardware keyboard, but you have one more on the screen using Maemo if you prefer to use it. The screen is delightfully responsive and is the resistive touch variety, not the capacitive touch that the Apple products have. One feature of the Maemo operating system is you can keep track of everyone at Facebook with one glance at the N900. Copy and past is allowed in all menus.

The hardware is of good quality with the N900. Nokia has given this device a nice keyboard. It is a full QWERTY keyboard and extends from the side, not from the bottom. This is a great choice, because it gives you more room to type. The keyboard also comes with directional buttons ( arrows ) just like your laptop or home PC. If you were wondering, yes this device is a true mobile computing device that also happens to make phone calls. The processor runs at 600 Megahertz and with the magnitude of memory on board you will not be disappointed with the performance. The N900 has 32 Gigabytes of built-in storage, and 48 Gigabytes of storage available with a MicroSD card.
