As one of the leading travel gadgets of the year, the iPod Touch continues to curry favor with application designers across the world. But with so many being released in the run up to Christmas, it can be difficult deciding which to buy; perhaps some of these will tempt you.
Finally released to the owners of the iPod Touch is Trillian; one of the most popular IMs available today. At a cent under five bucks from the App Store, it is likely this will be on many people's Christmas list this year.
This is almost assured, as the mobile application remains loyal to its desktop counterpart as much as possible. Contacts can be organized and sorted as readily as you can from a home computer, whilst multi chats can also be had with the user friendly tabbed browser bar.
The availability of the tech on the iPod Touch has been as a result of a fair bit of development from Apple too. This allows users of Trillian to set their status, customize messages, and select avatars as required. What is also cool, is that whether the application is on or not, users will get updates of any messages, and can select to open the app or not directly.
The beauty of the app of course is in its ability to handle instant messaging from a range of platforms, and synchronize this effortlessly. However, use of it does mean that users will need a Trillian Astra account, though this too can be done via the iPod Touch.
Increasingly, the iPod Touch is being used as a gaming device, so it is no surprise that a plethora of games are coming available in the run up to Christmas.
Considering how successful its predecessor was, The Treasures of Montezuma 2 is likely to be a hit. At just $1. 99 from the Apple app store too, the improved challenges and greater number of levels to play are likely to be tempting to casual gamers too.
Equally likely to be popular; and possibly more so, is the Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs platform game. Lovers of all three films will know the character Scrat well. The lovable squirrel's sole aim in life seems to be his pursuit of the elusive acorn, and now gamers are invited to play the role and help him in his hilarious search.
Whilst no new releases have yet been announced, Konami also has some great news for gamers; having thrown all its titles into the $. 99 bin. Expect sales of Krazy Kart Racing and Silent Hill to go through the roof any time soon.
For those wishing to use their iPod Touch as the music player it was initially meant to be; the latest version release of iSample is sure to get a look in. With a host of professional features now included as standard too; this is something that will give hours of entertainment.
These are of course just a few of the latest highlights. You can expect there to be many more over the next few weeks. And that is before we even get started on the iPod Touch accessories.
