I LOVE MY NEW iTOUCH!!!! July 16, 2008
I recently purchased the 32g iTouch and absolutely love it! I can sync with my Outlook calendar and contacts, etc. and be able to check my email. Now all Apple needs to do is have more 3rd party software available, i.e., Word and Excel and I'm completely mobile! I love all the features...Video, music and photos. I can streamline everything with iTunes. Just wish it wasn't so pricey, but I got mine at a steal these days...$459 from AMAZON!
 Warning, Software upgrade is not v2.0 July 15, 2008

Warning, the "software upgrade" is not version 2.0 of the iPod touch software. Even as of July 14, 2008, you will have to pay $9.95 for the current version of the iPod touch operating system. Apple customer care representatives I talked to could not explain why a newly purchased iPod touch did not include the current v2.0 software. I am not sure if Apple will try this marketing gaff on their other products, that is they ship the old version of the OS, and make you pay extra for the current version.
 I was won over by it July 15, 2008

I wasn't so sure about the iphone at first. I played with it in the store, and at first said "no" because I didn't like the "touch" keyboard. Once I realized all the other things it could do though, like mapping a location just by touching the address, I was sold. The response on the touch screen is amazingly fast.
It's much more than just a cell phone with a built-in ipod. Some of its many functions include web-surfing with a browser similar to what I'm used to using at home or work, mapping, (I LOVE the "where am I?" button,) and keeping a list of contacts that I can email or phone by simply touching the related information on them. I can keep my schedule on its calendar, and set it to remind me of something with an alarm (or not.) Not only does it have a clock, but if needed I can set an alarm, use it as a stopwatch, or check the weather and current temperature! I've learned the value of IM for private conversations, which is something I had never used before. It also has your basic calculator, camera, and even a stock ticker. I haven't tried watching a movie on it yet, but I have checked out some stuff on youtube. It works great!
I have probably 50 to 100 songs downloaded onto it, and am nowhere near the halfway mark on my 7-8GB of storage. Granted, the web browser is not compatible with "flash" web pages, and occasionally I "fat-finger" the keyboard, but the "automatic word fill-in" feature has a smart technology that remembers words you commonly use. This helps a lot.
Only problems I have encountered is that it won't map your location if you don't have cell service in the area (I think 3G fixes that by using GPS instead of triangulation.) One other thing is that you will hear interference noises (like a humming noise) when playing it through other devices. Putting it in "airplane" mode fixes that, but you won't transmit or receive messages. I noticed that when it is near my PC computer, the computer screen "wiggles" when the iphone transmits or receives (another form of interference.) They do need to come up with a version of "flash" that is compatible with their web browser.
I've owned one for 6 months now, and overall, I'm very happy with it.

I purchased the iPod Touch 16gb "with software upgrade" and was told that included future firmware and software upgrades. Now Apple is charging an extra fee to upgrade to the new iTouch firmware. So we paid extra for nothing.
Don't bother with the software upgrade at purchase since you will have to shell out again for the same thing.
