An mp3 touch screen is an mp3 player with no physical buttons involved. You don’t have to press down certain buttons but rather tap your finger on a display on the screen.

The advancement in this technology has bloomed in the past years. I remember watching Minority Report with Tom Cruise and when I saw that technology of the display of what to come, I thought to myself, “Man, that would be so cool if I could live when technology like that is out.” Well it is. With the tap of your finger, you can sort through hundreds of artists and thousands of your favorite songs.

Better yet, mp3 touch screens don’t only hold your music, but also your favorite games, apps, and even internet browsing. How they call these mp3’s is beyond me. I used to think that there was nothing left to be invented and that everything had already been thought of but the genius’s at Apple and Microsoft have really made a breakthrough with mp3’s capabilities. I for one don’t have an mp3 touch screen but I am very jealous of my friends that do.

Sure, if I know I’m going to be bored I would bring my iPod video but if I had lets say the iTouch, I would be able to play games, check my e-mail, and of course, listen to my favorite music. The way I get my music though is through eMusic. They have every song that I have wanted at a very reasonable price. If you are just starting out with them, they even give you the first 25 to 45 (depending on the current promotion) songs for free! How good of a deal is that. So if you are tired of paying 1$ per song through iTunes, head on over to eMusic and pay half that for the same quality. Look around the site for other similar offers and have a wonderful day.
