Review of 5th Generation iPod Touch

I have had one of the new 5th gen iPod Touches for a little while now and I just got around to writing a review. In my opinion, the most useful new feature has to be the massivly improved camera.  With the old camera, looking at pictures you had taken, even its small screen, was painful. With the new camera, all the pictures are sharp and crisp. While Siri was talked about as this wonderful invention, it is really only good for very simple tasks. The more complex the task, the more likely it is that it will screw up somewhere and you will have to restart the task. In my experience, the only use for Siri that won't take you longer than doing it yourself is sending a message to someone (preferably a short message) and that will take the same amount of time to type as to use Siri. A more useful new feature is the larger screen. While not all applications are updated to utilize the new larger screen, in the ones that are, you have more screen real estate to see the app with. Speaking of the screen, while the Retina display is not new, it continues to be gorgeous. In summary, the new iPod Touch is certainly a beautiful upgrade.

PS While I was not that exited originally about the upgrade to ios 6, there is one feature in it that I adore: the fact that when you install or buy or update an app, the App Store doesn't close! That had been annoying me from my first ios device and is finally fixed. Thank you Apple!
