Tom's iPod Touch review as compared with Nokia N810

I got to borrow an iPod Touch and here is my review of it. I'm comparing it to my Nokia N810. I'm surprised the iPod costs about as much as the N810 even though it has a much worse display, bad mono speaker, no Bluetooth, it's slow, no proper keyboard to type messages with and no memory card slot. But I agree the touch screen is very responsive and that gives a good illusion of quality that just is not there. I do work for Nokia and I made this review only for some of my friends to show why the iPod is not useful for me and pointed out some usability issues. However, I made it publicly available just to be open. Anyway, the new N900 is out and N810 and iPod are very old fashioned obsolete devices already. Enjoy the review! By the way, I'm very amused to see people who don't like my review make the trouble to watch it and comment on it. Most likely these are iPod owners who are not so happy to hear anything bad about their investment. You can identify them by terrible spelling errors, no capitalization of words, naive attitude, bad language and violation of YouTube community guidelines. A very not-so-happy bunch of Apple addicted people it seems :)

A biased review, WTH.. He even said "You don't have to go through a proprietary app store system like with the CRAPPLE, who do not care about your freedom."... Whoa, you really have a grudge on apple, nokia fanboy! I can auto-tune my voice with my ipod touch, can your Nokia N810 can? ^_^

[aholatom]

@elaytot I dislike both crApple and Micro$oft because they limit your freedom and try to hook their customers by proprietary systems making you depend on them. I'm a Linux fan because with Linux I'm free to do everything I want with my computing devices. Not sure if anybody has made a voice auto-tune for the N810. I don't sing myself but use sometimes the VariPhrase processor in Sonar for effects. I don't see a need for such a system in a mobile device but it would be easy to port to N810.

n810 is definitely better, how did you get google map on the N810?

[aholatom]

@confidentfella The Maemo Mapper application is great and you can add many map repositories to it. Google maps repository can be automatically added by choosing "download sample repositories" in the meny.

You don't know how to use an iPod! iPod is hell better than Nokia!! Only if you use it correctly

[aholatom]

@mydreamisrx8 Would you describe the iPod with the H-word if you would know what I know? If you could read comments you might know something :)

Yo would it be possible to emulate the Ipod Touch on a Nokia N810

[Pereira04ps3]

yours so stupid..... you can fastforword the song

[muhburakkarasu]

dude okay, i hate apple too. But try to be objective next time. Weird interface on iPod Touch ? Are you kidding me ? Even a puppy can use that thing with it's nose.

@elaytot My N810 can boot Ubuntu, android, Debian or Mer which gives access to limitless applications

@aholatom sorry i thought it was a phone but the up coming ipod touch 4g maybe able to beat it.maybe you can make a video with the latest nokia thing compared to it when it comes out in september

[aholatom]

@joemah555 N810 is not a phone but you can link it to your phone using Bluetooth to stay connected to internet almost everywhere. I think it is good to compare a device that can do all the same things and more for a lesser price.

the ipod 3g is even better
