Personally, Touch is mainly used for listening to music, looking up dictionaries and reading electronic maps (I love traveling around Europe, which is very helpful). Oh, yes, there are e-books provided by ibooks (many good stories can be downloaded from ibooks, such as Details of Democracy, which I read recently). Ibooks is much better than the messy novels on some domestic novel websites. But if you want to learn through external devices, I advise you not to buy them. After all, learning this thing depends on consciousness. . .

Touch also provides many learning software, from Youdao, Oxford, Google and other dictionaries. The nirvana in fire Dictionary you asked also has a touch version, which is as big as the online open class of itounes u, and it is a good learning aid. But I believe that if you have enough self-control, you can learn well without these softwares.

As for other applications, Apple's itounes can also be described as varied, including travel, musical instruments, stocks, fitness, health care and so on. However, downloading without jailbreaking costs money. Unless the landlord strongly supports intellectual property rights, I suggest that jailbreaking is better and the method is simple. I searched a lot on the internet.

Of course, if the landlord only buys it for playing games, I advise you to think twice. . . Personally, I think it's not worth buying this kind of thing to play games. . . There are many kinds of games, many of which are well-made, but. . . After all, touch can do much more than games.

And when you buy it. It is said that iphone 5 will be launched in the summer of 20 12. Although the touch 5 generation is unlikely to appear in the short term, if the landlord has a paranoid pursuit of machine performance, I suggest you wait, or simply consider the iphone 5 (but it is really expensive. . . As a poor student. . Personally, I'm not going to consider it at all. . . Touch 4 can fully meet my requirements)

In a word, touch is a good thing, but it will never make your study advance by leaps and bounds just because you bought touch, so it's up to the landlord to make up his mind when weighing the pros and cons.
