Test confirmation – the new Apple iPod Touch is 50% faster!
Apple recently introduced two new iPod Touch models, the 32GB version and the 64GB version. Apples main marketing push for these iPods was built around the bases that the iPods are "50% faster than previous models". As usual, most forum users were scepticle. As we all know, word spreads quicker than ever before with the internet becoming more important to our life’s – this makes it easier for rumours to spread. It only takes one respected forum user to dislike or not fully believe an idea and you have mutiny! Once this has happened, other forum users take his opinion as gospel and it spreads like wild-fire.
This push from Apple had just this problem. However, we have had a few test models and have compared them to older iPod Touch models (1st and 2nd Generation). We found the following results;
- Boot speed was cut from around 25-35 seconds to around 15 seconds.
- Opening web pages was cut from 30 seconds to around 20 seconds.
- Loading games was also cut in almost half. Games included Rolando 2, Tap Tap, Spore and more.
I think thats pretty conclusive evidence that Apple are on the right track here!
These new kits also appear to work perfectly with the Dice and Dension iPod Car Kits and In Car iPod kits on first quick tests (although tests will continue to confirm)
