Here is a listing of my personal favorite iPod touch apps, that enhance its utility substantially. Read to know about the latest apps and games.
Every Apple product, including the iPod touch has an inbuilt multitasking capability. Just like the Apple iPhone and iPad, it can be used to run a plethora of applications that enhance its usability.
The iPod touch 3G comes with 32 GB/64 GB of storage capacity and a whopping 256 MB of RAM and voice phone support, along with a significantly faster operating internal hardware. Its multi-touch graphical user interface makes its use as a portable media player and PDA (personal digital assistant) possible.
It is an iPod, a pocket computer, and a handheld gaming console, all bundled into one. Its accessories include a headphone, remote, and a microphone set. Since the device provides wireless access to the iTunes store, as well as access to the Apple’s ‘App Store’, you can download loads of free and paid apps.
