Hello!
Apple products always like to add a lowercase i in front of their names, so many people like to call the iPod Touch itouch. I don’t know if it’s a misunderstanding or an abbreviation. In short, iPod Touch and itouch refer to the same thing.
Compared with ordinary MP5, the advantage of iPod Touch is that the system is intelligent, there is a certain amount of free software that can be installed, and it can connect to WiFi wireless networks. Some people describe the iPod Touch as an iPhone without the functions of making phone calls and ordinary text messages. It is quite appropriate. Of course, there are also many players on the market that use Android systems. Comparing the two, the iPod Touch can be said to be very closed, supporting limited video and audio formats, and the sound quality is average. Its advantage is that the operation is smooth and the standby time is pretty good. Most people buy it just to play games. There are many free software that can be installed on Android players, so they support many formats. However, they may become stuck after being used for a long time. As for the ordinary non-intelligent MP5, it just lacks value-added software. When buying it, you should check what formats it supports, and that's about it.
The rest is price. The price of iPod Touch starts at around 1,700, while the price of MP5 can basically be determined to be within 1,500. If it's just for videos and music, an MP5 worth a few hundred yuan is enough. If you want to use some applications, the Android system is also good, but the touch operation is sometimes not satisfactory. If you want smooth operation and stylish appearance, then go for iPod Touch.
iPod Touch is also divided into different versions and capacities. iPod Touch4 has three capacity versions: 8G, 32G and 64G. There will probably be a 16G version of iPod Touch3. As far as the iPod Touch 4 is concerned, if you look at the price/performance ratio, the 32G model is the most cost-effective. If you only look at the price, of course the 8G model is the cheapest. In addition, if you really want to buy an iPod Touch, buy the 4, the screen is much better.
I hope the above answers can help you!
