iPod Touch Unboxed Somewhere in Malaysia

Yeah, somewhere in Selayang that is... It's always nice to have unboxing shots (even if they do look like crap here), the new Apple product smell is a great air freshener for any room. The pictures are not that great, but it does get the message across.

14 days ago, I was lucky enough to be blessed with one of these and let me tell you this, it has made me want an iPhone even more. But honestly, Apple has succeeded in making October feel like Christmas. We have the iPod Touch in Malaysia since early of the month, Leopard is coming out in 24 more hours and iPhones are available for unlocking if you can get one from US. We're already planning to chip in for a copy of Leopard when it arrives. But come to think of it, the number of friends I have using Macs now have doubled since earlier this year.

Oh, about the iPod Touch...

It's the 8GB one and I nicknamed it Strangelove (my recent love for Kubrick films). Been packing it with a mix of movies, tv shows and lots of Goldfrapp. The touch screen is just amazing. The first time you slide your finger across the screen to unlock will send shivers down your neck. It's so smooth and responsive that you'll kick yourself for doubting all those ads and online guides. I just want to add that it is responsive. From Safari to music and videos to photos... it is very fast. Oh, and if you want maximum battery life, remember to turn off wifi.

If you're planning to use this to watch movies and tv shows like me, you'll be slightly disappointed with the capacities offered, I mean, just my Family Guy seasons alone is almost 15GB. But its something that I can live with. And the screen issue that everyone is complaining about, perfect for me.

So there you go, the new iPod Touch, unboxed and being thoroughly enjoyed by me.

The iPod Touch is selling in Malaysia for RM1,339 and RM1,799 for 8GB and 16GB respectively
