Q. Well, I know that the newest ipod just came out, and it's supposed to have improved and amazing features. But I'm also considering the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0, because it's supposedly better. Internet, apps, music, youtube, camera, and movies are infinitely important to me Also, is flash not on the ipod? What does this limit me to? Thanks.
A. Dimensions and weight
Apple iPod touch is largely smaller than its Samsung competitor. The Apple product rocks the dimensions of 110 x 58 x 7.1 mm and a weight of just 101 grams. On contrast, Galaxy Player 5.0 has the dimensions of 141.3 x 78.2 x 11.9 mm and it weighs at a hefty 182 grams.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Display
As its moniker reveals, Galaxy Player 5 features a 5-inch display at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. It is a WVGA TFT LCD that provides better clarity and performance. On the other hand, iPod touch has the same 3.5-inch display of iPhone. As the former Apple CEO Steve Jobs said iPod touch is indeed an âiPhone without contract.â Its display is an aluminosilicate glass-covered LED-backlit LCD with a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels at 326ppi.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
Software
Galaxy Player 5.0 is to play on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It is when Apple has just updated iPod touch with iOS 5, the game changing version of the software. Of course, iOS 5 has more stunning features than Gingerbread. In fact, Androidâs reply to iOS 5 is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not Gingerbread.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Storage
Galaxy Player 5.0 has only two internal memory options; 8GB and 16GB. Meanwhile, the new generation iPod touch comes with three options; 8GB, 32GB and 64GB. Moreover, iPod touch has iCloud cloud computing integration for additional storage.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Camera
Apple has slotted in a 0.7-inch rear camera on iPod touch. It can record video at 1280 x 720 up to 30 frames/s and audio. A 0.3-inch VGA camera is there in the front panel of the device. Samsung Player 5 sports a 3.2-megapixcel camera in the front. However, the device drops a front facing camera for video calls. In difference, iPod touch with FaceTime application will be a better choice for users.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Battery life
Battery life of a portable musical device is highly important. People often want to listen to music for long hours. Here Galaxy Player 5.0 outshines iPod touch with Li-Ion 2500mAh that ensures 60 hours audio playback and 8 hours video playback. Apple iPod touch has a Lithium-ion battery that offers only 40 hours audio playback and 7 hours video playback.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
Winner
The winner of the comparison is visibly clear. Apple iPod touch is far better than its Samsung competitor under several parameters. A music lover, who doesnât obsessively worship Android, may go for iPod touch for better music experience.
The verdict
Samsung has been creating hypes about its Android music player for a while. The device has now realized with lots of features. We have an Android challenger to iPod touch now. Appleâs domination in portable music industry may be hit with Galaxy Player 5.0âs arrival. Of course, a large part of music lovers will go for Galaxy Player 5.0 instead of iPod touch now.
Are these phones just multimedia phones?
Q. I need to know if these two phones can call and text or are there just multimedia players even though they have android but I need to know if they are just like other Samsung galaxy phones just let me know in description thank you this is the link. http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/samsung-galaxy-s-5-0-8gb-mp3-player-with-fm-radio-white-10810414-pdt.html
A. This device is just a Ipod touch running android 2.3, that said if you have a WIFI connection and the right apps like skype you can call, text and IM on this device.
BUT once you loose your WIFI signal (leave the house/apartment) those capabilities are lost until you jump on another wifi network.
what should I buy, Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 8gb or Ipod Touch 4th generation 64 gb?
Q. I am looking for a device for mainly music and video. I have found good deals on both, so pretend price doesn't matter.
Samsung 5.0 player pros and cons
-pro- huge screen! perfect for videos and movies on the go, expandable memory! android! 5mp camera!
-cons- the memory it originally comes with is only 8gb, it only has android 2.3.5!,
Ipod Touch 4th gen pros and cons
-pro- retina display, the memory it originally comes with is 64gb, i have a decent collection of songs on itunes, more apps(though i want it mostly for videos and music)
-cons- no expandable memory, small screen, I'm kinda tired of apple's closed environment, weak camera
so i had a few questions and then I want people's opinions
1. are there a lot of apps that you can't use on android 2.3.5?
2. is a higher quality small screen better than a normal quality big one?
3. I have about 60gb of movies and music, which would be better?
and finally, which do you think is the better choice for me?
thanks in advance
A. 1. are there a lot of apps that you can't use on android 2.3.5?
no, virtually all apps that are in the Play Store (over 750,000) work fine with 2.3.5
2. is a higher quality small screen better than a normal quality big one?
its personal opinion, but generally the larger screen is more preferable
3. I have about 60gb of movies and music, which would be better?
out of the box, the iPod touch since you could literally put everything on it, but the Android, you can get a 32gb memory card which are dirt-cheap, and have more than enough, after all, you will be converting the videos, which will also reduce their size, to fit either of the devices, and you don't have to necissarily carry the whole collection with you everywhere.
and finally, which do you think is the better choice for me?
I personally prefer android, they are more powerful, more choices of free apps, also has a GPS in case you want to use it to naviage.
