 Like the ipod touch February 26, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Even though I didn't buy the ipod with the software upgrade I did indeed purchase it from itunes...but anyways this review is about the ipod touch itself. I actually like this ipod very much I have had since they came out in mid September late October I believe it was. I haven't had any problems what so ever with this ipod. I actually am able to see youtube videos through this and also go online. I use this at school where I get free wi-fi and its great. Speed is great, quality is great I just wish it wasn't too pricey but it's worth it. Overall I like that it won't scratch the screen but the back interface does scratch quite easily but that is easily fixed by buying a case and keeping it in there. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone who wants an ipod but wants to have the same interface as the iphone. cause unlike the iphone this ipod doesn't cost too much to use it..and its all its worth in my opinion.
It feels like magic! February 25, 2008

Before my iPod touch, I had a Palm Tungsten E, which worked well enough. But after using my iPod touch, the Tungsten feels like the stone ages!
The touch's interface is snappy and snazzy, and it can do a lot as long as you have access to a wireless hotspot. Google maps can pinpoint your location to within a 100 yards, and can route you to your destination, and even has traffic information!
All your contact and calendar information is identical to what's on your Mac (along with photos), and you can also read and write email. And of course you can surf the web too.
How amazing is all this in a tiny package with a reasonable price?
Not everything is perfect though. It'd be nice to have a To-Do list, be able to rate songs, search through contacts, have all applications handle both landscape and portrait display modes (it's a little annoying to be forced into one display mode or another), and yes, hardware volume controls would have been convenient. But overall, I'm really impressed (tickled really) buy how "magical" the experience of using the touch is. 5 stars.
 It's a step in the right direction... February 24, 2008

...but call me when they make a 60GB+ version. Better yet make it at least 80--I'm pushing 60 with just music.
Slick with neat applications, but not as useful as Nokia N800 February 24, 2008

I've been wanting to really use the itouch ever since it first appeared as the iphone. I'm now doing that. I'd already tried it out and saw it used by others, so I had a pretty good sense of what to expect, but daily use is different than a few minutes of play. I know at least one person who sold their Nokia N800 (the closest device in terms of size and functionality that I've seen so far). Their use of the machines is clearly different than mine, as I won't even consider doing that.
The itouch is slicker to use. Its a much better digital music player than the N800 (or its predecessor, the 770) and several of its applications are simply neat beyond comparison. I love the way Youtube works on the itouch. The Google maps and Yahoo weather applications are incredible, and the browser is a work of art when you zoom in on and navigate pages with gestures like pinch and swipe.
That said, I won't even think of taking anything but trivial notes on the itouch. The larger screen and stylus of tne Nokia N800 and 770 make them much better writing machines. I've written papers on the Nokia. Writing anything on the itouch is a painful process of missed keystrokes and corrections.
I don't mind the differences. Both fit quite nicely in my top pocket (with the much smaller itouch nestling nicely in the screen depression of the N800). There will be times when I just want a really little device along. When that happens the itouch will more than do the job so long as I don't plan to write anything. There are obviously other differences (I could shoot a short video on the Nokia, upload it to Youtube, and view it from the itouch), but on the whole there is room in my pocket for both devices.
The iPod Touch rocks!! February 24, 2008

I bought this particular model of the iPod Touch yesterday at Costco's and I must say I absolutely love this thing. The sound quality is absolutely amazing and the navigation is very easy to do.
I have a Creative Zen and when comparing both of them I must say I like the iPod Touch a lot better. The sound quality for the iPod Touch blows the Zen away. In fact I can't have the volume up all the way on the iPod with out it being way too loud. The battery life for this thing is pretty good all though I have yet to fully test its potential.
I really love the album art flow when you're listening to music and you can see what albums you have. I also love how when you turn it to view screen mode the pictures and the album art work will turn the same way.
The only thing I do not like about it is the fact the headphone connector is on the bottom instead of the top like most iPods.
Over all I'm very pleased with this product and it is my first iPod ever. I wish I had gotten it sooner. I totally recommend this to anyone. :)
