 Toucha Toucha Toucha Touch Me! July 26, 2009

What can I said that hasn't already been said? The IPOD TOUCH is a device from the future. It's the tricorder I wanted as a child. It's sexy, sleek, and amazing. Do I sound like a gadget fangirl? Well, not usually, but when my husband bought a TOUCH, I very quickly became hooked. More than that, the whole family suddenly had to have it. I was reminded of the classic movie The Gods Must Be Crazy when the Coke bottle landed in the middle of the tribe and soon no one could live without it. Of course, we weren't that bad, really, but the phrase, "Where's the Touch" became quite common. The exception was the 3-year-old. She'd asked, "Where's Daddy's special little TV?" Now at age 4, she's also playing - and winning - several of the games. And that's part of the beauty of the design of the TOUCH. It's clean. Everyone understands the basic rules of how the apps work. Everyone can turn it on, flick through the screens, and find they app they want. The device is small enough to take everywhere but the screen is large enough to watch movies on. It is truly a paradigm-shifting design.
The TOUCH and the iPhone are fraternal twins. While springing from the same nucleus, they are different. The TOUCH is slimmer, has no phone, no GPS, and no speaker. For my tastes, that's just fine, although a speaker would be nice. We have the 16GB version which is plenty for a score of movies/TV shows, plus some music, audiobooks, and a slew of apps. I actually like that it is not also my phone, but I wouldn't give it away if it were! I'm just leery of all-in-one products. Battery life is descent, but we always have a charger close at hand. One nice thing is that you can turn the screen off while listening to music or an audiobook. You can even play games while listening to your own music. And of course, you have Apple's App store full of every type of program imaginable.
We've had our TOUCH for more than 2 years, and we still love it. It goes everywhere with us and truly has us spoiled. More on that in my review of the Samsung Omnia.
 Big on hype, low on customer care July 24, 2009

I bought this "first generation" iTouch about a year ago. Apple, in it's wisdom, has decided that paying[..] bucks is not enough, that it should be made obsolete so that if I wanted the latest version, with a speaker and the capability to load software games, I'd have to buy a completely new unit for the same price! They even make you pay for a software upgrade (things other electronics companies offer for free), but not if you have the "first generation" iTouch, which they have decided to NOT support. Thanks, Apple, this is my first purchase from you, and my LAST.
 poor customer service June 30, 2009
Unhappy with Iphone (Oh)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
My husband bought an iphone for me. It never worked completely right from the beginning. Apple customer service tried to help, but the suggestions they made were helpful only temporarily. Then it stopped working while still under warranty. I live in a rural area. In order to have it serviced, I had to make an appt. in a city 100 miles away, and waited there past my appointment time to get it serviced.... and paid $200 to get it serviced.
Not worth the money and effort. I still feel that they are unwilling to allow other people to help with or share their products, therefore, making it very inconvenient to own and purchase their products. I'm boycotting all apple products from this point on. They apparently never learned from their past misktakes.
Never got item June 28, 2009

I ordered this item and placed a rush on it. I then emailed the seller asking when my product would be delivered. It was then that I was emailed and told the item was sold out. I was refunded my money but why would you sell something that you do not have? I was disappointed. I've purchased from Amazon and from third parties before and this was my first such experience.
The 16G ipod touch is GREAT but bad experience with this seller.
A good mp3 player for those of you who don't have much music. June 24, 2009
Robert Thompson (Under Your Bed!!!)
My first mp3 player was a silver ipod mini, once it started to die I finally decided it was time to upgrade. I went with the ipod touch. The price was a big detractor but I decided to risk it. I've used it for over a year now and overall I'm pretty pleased with my purchase.
The touch is very slim and quite good looking if you ask me. This compliments the smooth touch interface with the brightly lit screen that makes it easy and even a little fun to navigate. I much prefer it to the old scroll wheel design. It's also got this new thing called apps, which are basically mini programs that you can download and use for various purposes. There's games, books, taxes, and more. You even get a few already installed like Safari, Calendar, Mail, Contacts, YouTube, Stocks, Weather, Clock, Calculator, Maps, and Notes.
Another great thing about the touch is ease of use. The touch is very reliable both in terms of physical sturdiness and software, and it syncs up with itunes very easily, making it easy even for computer illiterate people. The interface also makes it very simple and straightforward to use.
My only real complaint is the lack of space. At the time that I originally purchased this I only had about 6 gigs of music and thought I would never need more that 16 gigs of space. Boy was I wrong. Since then my musical taste has greatly expanded and I'm now sitting on roughly 134 gigs of music. I need a new ipod badly, so I'm waiting until September for the new classics to come out and I'll get the biggest one they've got. The touch is just so awesome though, that I would probably fork over the extra cash to get one if they came out with a model that met my space demands.
If you don't mind the limited amount of space the touch is great. It may be a little pricey for what you get but I think it's worth it overall.
