Gizmodo has reported that it looks like the iPod Touch screen is not identical to the iPhone. When playing the same video on both devices it looks like the iPod Touch screen has washed out black colors. At first people thought it may be just their model but it looks like it has been tested multiple times and the tests all have the same result: iPhone’s screen is superior. They are saying that the screen is not by any means bad but not up to the superior quality of the iPhone. Is this a deal breaker for you?

Update: Various posts by our members and around the internet have mentioned that this may not be a problem and it maybe only be a few defective models that have this problem.

Also check out the Gizmodo review of the iPhone.

   Not really. I am still planning on getting this baby even if the colors are washed out.

   Hmm. I have both, and IMO, the Touch’s screen is richer and has nicer blacks–so my experience was exactly the reverse of wha was posted here.

   I played w/ one at the Apple Store Louisville on Saturday. It was far better than the Gizmodo review made it out to be. The colors were impeccable, and the touch screen was absolutely intuitive. It is a great device. Not a hit on Gizmodo, but I would personally suggest you disregard their review.
