 It's sensational! April 8, 2008
I bought three 16GB iPod Touch's at Christmas Gifts. Two for my cousin's kids and one for ME. After opening the iPods the two kids spent the rest of the day downloading their music, surfing the net, and doing email. All three of us are thrilled and amazed what we can do with it. I take it to the gym weekdays and track my investments on Google Finance and reading email between sets. When I am on the recumbent bike I put on the ear phones and watch some of my many music videos and before I know it my workout is done, darn it. This thing has paid for itself many times over. The other day at our hairdressers I surfed the net and took care of my email while my wife got a shampoo and cut.
Happy Bill
Lovely April 8, 2008
I received my iPod Touch as a gift last month. It has replaced my old Mini iPod, which I had been using since 2005. Considering the fact that the Mini and the Touch were purchased for about the same amount of money, I think the purchase was definitely worth every penny this time around.
Here are a few reasons why I love my new iPod Touch! Yes, I've only had it for a short while, but I think it's fair to say that I've had fair experienced with iPods and the iTunes interface.
1. Style
First off, the Touch is beautiful! It's definitely very sleek and easy to slide into my bag or even pocket (although it usually does end up in there). It's slim and has a simple design: on/off botton and one main button that controls back switches. I'd say that size is just fine--my hands are small but that size doesn't provide any discomfort.
2. Functionality
The iPod Touch offers loads of functionality! At this point I think you've familiarized yourself with the iPod's functions. In addition to streaming music and videos, you've got a lot of other features not offered on any other iPod, with the exception of the iPhone. There are weather, stock, email, and map "widgets" as well as Safari Browser, YouTube, and iTunes "links." Just get yourself connected at a Wi-Fi hotspot (which may even be your home!) and you're able to browse and surf the net like that! Having those features in one package is so convenient! The iPod, however, cannot replace the full functionality of a Mac or PC, but you're able to have several resources at your fingertips--literally!
3. Ease of Use
The Touch is super easy to use. You simply, when, touch your way through all the fuctions and music. Flipping through the album covers is a nice feature, as well as the design of the main screen. You can place your icons wherever you'd like, and not be confined to placing certain icons in only certain places. iTunes is also a breeze to use, and even if you're not familiar with it, learning to use iTunes is a simple process!
4. Value
You're definitely buying into a lasting piece of equipment with this iPod. Granted, Apple puts out new stuff all the time, but considering what the Touch offers at this point, nothing will get old too soon. Simply put, the iPod Touch has definite longevity.
5. Versatility
With all the different features available on the Touch, the iPod has evolved into a product of grand versatility. You have the ultimate multimedia machine in your pocket, which can perform a bevy of other fuctions as well. With the Touch, you can browse the internet, search through YouTube, find directions, watch movies (on beautiful widescreen) or simply, listen through your music library.
Overall, I'm glad I received the Touch as a gift. It's a lot of fun to use..I couldn't have asked for a nicer, or lovelier, present!
GREAT Product but a few comments April 7, 2008

I was not very quick to jump on the ipod touch band-wagon but now I am glad I have. This fine piece of computer technology has made my life easier and has filled many time gaps I have in between class (or sometimes while in class). The ipod touch is great for:
1. People who are, on a daily basis, near a wi-fi signal
2. People who get e-mails throughout the day
3. Those who want to surf the internet at any point and time without the use of a cell phone company or hauling around a large laptop
I have had this device for about two weeks now and there are really no problems (knock on wood) just a few suggestions
1. Steve Jobs, you are a billionaire, so why charge $20 for a software upgrade? also, why have you put a chokehold on AV cords made for the touch. So far, if you want to watch anything from your ipod touch on a TV, you need to spend about $50 on an apple AV cord (ipod touch will not work with anything other than apple cords.) Once again, Apple, you manage to piss people off (i.e. lowering the price of the iphone after many people just bought it for a higher price)
anyways, great product, i would recommend it to everyone
IPOD TOUCH April 7, 2008

This is great! I am in sales so I travel just about everyday and needed a device that I could keep contacts, calendar events and more at my finger tips! I carry it in my pocket just like a PDA and since it is slim you almost forget you have it in your pocket. I can plug it into my car radio for my long trips and listen to my music, podcasts, or audio books. It works well when I am staying away from home since I have all my pictures downloaded that I can flip through. Great for the airplane to since you can put movies on it!
Few things I wished worked a little better:
The wi-fi is not as strong as I would like. Sometimes I have trouble connecting to signals that I can connect to with my laptop.
Battery power is great and last long, but if you leave the wi-fi turned on it will drain the battery because it keeps looking for a signal. Can be a pain to change this setting all the time.
Would be nice to be able to create your own shortcuts on the home screens. Like place the wi-fi setting on the home screen and then it would only be a single click away.
Would also like to download files to it for viewing (word docs, spreadsheets, small dbase files).
I know, I know some of you are shouting at your PC screens this is an IPOD not a PDA! Your are correct and it works great I am just saying it would be nice to have those features to and then this would be considered one of the greatest electronic gadets on the planet since the invention of the laptop!
If you travel for business and need a PDA like device and can't afford a PDA phone this is the way to go!
 Another version of iPhone. Pretty good! April 5, 2008

I have both the iphone and itpuch. The itouch is basically another thing of iPhone. It has wifi and other functions just like the iphone, except for the phone function. However itouch's wifi detector does not seem 2 be as strong as the iPhone. If I was to choose between the itouch and iPhone I would get the iPhone instead. The price difference between the 2 is about $100. Moreover the itouch does not have as many application as the iPhone. Some pros of it are obviously it is lighter and thinner.
