A newer version of the Samsung Instinct touch screen phone has come out this year – the Samsung Instinct S30. Even though a newer version of the phone was much expected, however, it failed to meet most people’s expectations, for the simple reason that there were not any major changes to the phone. It’s nothing more than slight redesign with very few feature changes. The Samsung Instinct S30 costs around $129 along with a contract which to be honest is a pretty good bargain.

The new Instinct phone shares the same shape as its predecessor; however, by a close comparison one can easily see that it has a slightly sleeker design and curved corners. The size of the phone is almost the same as the original. It’s 4.57 inches tall, 2.11 inches wide and 0.48 inches thick, only 0.1 inches slimmer than the original. The phone is available in two different colors copper and cobalt metal.

The screen of the phone is 3.2 inches long and there’s not much difference between the touch screen of the old and the new model. The phone has a virtual dial pad and QWERTY keyboard very similar to the original.

Apple has recently released the new version of the Apple iPod Touch, which has exceeded expectations. Initially, there were people who thought it might not be something great or really look forward to and thought of it as just another new iPod coming into the market

Many may not have thought that the newer version would actually surpass the original; however the developers have made sure that it does. Features that were missing from the original iPod touch which cost around $299 have been added to the newer and cheaper iPod touch which cost only $229. This happens to be pretty cheap considering all the great features that are being offered.

The design has been enhanced; it’s much slimmer than the original Touch, with a measurement of 4.1 in by 2.4 in by 0.33 in and weighs around 4 ounces only.

The newer iPod touch is almost in the same league as the iPhone, with its wireless internet connection that allows accessing internet, touch screen and the videos and music being played in the same way as the iPhone.
