Greetings my dear friends of Geek Zone, it's been a while since I've been here. The truth is that I have not acquired any technological device recently and for lack of time I have not started experimenting with any game. However, today I want to present a device that I acquired more than 10 years ago, yes, as you read, it's been more than 10 years since I bought it and I can say that it remains practically intact.
The idea of making this post is not to promote any brand, but I think this product deserves a publication, the good things must be highlighted, this is my ipod touch 4th generation. I tell you that my father when he saw it about three days ago was very surprised, he could not believe it, that ipod you bought years ago is that one, he asked me surprised and immediately told me "how has it lasted". I am one of those people who take care of things, although life and time do not forgive.

The story of my ipod
How did I get this mini stereo, I owe it to a great friend who worked with me, being from the computer area was my advisor to make this wonderful purchase. I had always wanted to have an ipod, one of my hobbies is listening to music, besides, doing the housework listening to my favorite tunes makes everything easier and more fun.
In 2008 I bought my first music device, it was nice and inexpensive, I bought it through a page called mercado libre, impossible to remember the cost, but what do you think, it didn't last, so I lost it a few months after I bought it. Two or three years later, (I don't remember well), I decided to buy one through Amazon and that's when my friend intervened. He diverted me from the idea of buying an "MP3 or MP4", which was just for listening to music and nothing else, so he told me "don't buy that one, buy something better" and showed me the ipod Touch 4th generation.

It was the last thing on the market at that time, it was not cheap, but it was worth it for everything it comes with, I describe it as a mini portable PC. I think its cost was $171, being from Apple, it couldn't be that affordable, quality costs and it showed.

Features
In general terms, for me its capabilities were fine for the time, (laughs). I can highlight basic features like 8 GB of memory and Bluetooth. However, in addition to storing music, I can take pictures (it has two cameras, one front and one rear, the resolution is not very good but it is acceptable), with WIFI I can surf the internet, watch videos on youtube and explore social networks. To see in detail the features, go to the
official Apple website here.

Of course, it has many other functions, I dare to say that it is like an iphone only I can't call, that's the only thing it lacks. The operating system it uses is IOS, for which you have to have iTunes installed to be able to synchronize music, download games and other applications, this was hard for me to learn.
This ipod has an integrated battery that keeps very well despite the time it has and the truth is that it lasts a lot when I listen to music. As usual, with games it lasts a little less. To avoid damaging the battery I have followed all the recommendations, do not leave it empty for several days or at 100% if we are not going to use it. It is best to leave it with 50% battery when we spend some time without turning it on.

The accessories
The ipod came in a little box that at the time was cute, now as you can see it's a bit ugly logically, it came with a USB cable to charge it, a protective film and the headphones that are no longer useful, the truth is that I didn't take care of them. Nowadays I use wired headphones that I bought months after the pandemic started, I also sometimes use the ones I bought with
Bluetooth connection.



It didn't have a cover, so I was able to buy two with difficulty in my country Venezuela, one I acquired in Puerto la Cruz, Anzoátegui State and the other in the Sambil Mall, in Margarita Island, Nueva Esparta State. Both went to a better life as we say here, the truth is that I spent a long time not using the ipod for personal reasons and the covers were stored for a long time, when I took them out they fell apart like dust.
Then you can also buy on Amazon a silicone case with imitation design Rilakkuma, besides beautiful, is very good, well cushions the blows by falls. In some carelessness I have dropped it a couple of times, although I try to avoid this kind of accidents at all costs. The structure of the Ipod is quite delicate and a fall can be fatal. The protective film I changed it again, it was already scratched and ugly, this one is not so ugly, but it has lost the glue as you can see in one of the corners.



My experience with it
What can I say, a device that has lasted more than 10 years is incredible, today is a relic compared to the generation that is already on the market, I think they go for the 7th, I'm not sure, I'm a bit far from that world. My ipod has stored 226 songs, several photos, videos, games, applications and it still has 3.2 GB available.
What I can't do is expand my music repertoire, because my brother took the hard drive where all the songs were stored and I can't synchronize it to keep the songs I already have recorded. When I bought it there were others of greater capacity, 16 GB, 32 GB and up to 64 GB, if I'm not mistaken, obviously, the more capacity, the more expensive, so I opted for the 8 GB which at that time seemed more than enough.

Today I can enjoy this ipod touch 4th generation, I use the alarm from time to time if I need to get up very early, very little game for lack of time, I really use it to listen to music more than anything.
Well friends, I say goodbye until next time, over there I have other equipment that I would like to talk about and share with you all, I hope it will be soon. See you soon.
