Apple's iPod Touch Pre-Updates - Great Player, Nicer Price! Test Drive it Today!!!!
Apple's 16GB iPod Touch was the largest you could buy before the 32GB version was released in January 2008. This mobile device has a great combination of quality, and features, though its capacity falls just short of the ideal size for a true media player. The awesome video, sleek thin body and web capability are enough to make this unit worth considering despite a high price and some missing features.
Pros
+ Buy it without software update to save a few dolla...

Apple's iPod Touch - Updated and Enlarged! Test Drive it Today!!!!
Apple's 32 GB iPod Touch has finally given the mobile device market a media player with a great combination of quality, features and capacity. Of course it arrived shortly after I was given the 16 GB iPod Touch that I had put off buying for so long. Still, the extra capacity gives this unit the last piece of the puzzle it needed to be a must-have item for me. The awesome video, sl...

Very nice.. but misses in a few key areas. Actual score: 3.5
I'll start off by saying that I've always been a big iPod fan and that this is my 4th to purchase. I'll try to keep comparisons minimal, but coming from owning previous models, that might be a bit tough.
Last year I made the plunge and purchased an iPhone -- not really for the phone, but more to have the latest/greatest ipod and web browsing on the go. My biggest complaint with it was the low storage capacity (4GB or 8GB). The 16GB touch was tempting,...

What a fun toy! Well, let me start by saying that I ordered the Touch on a lark. Got it direct from Apple with free engraving on the back. I must say that this is a really fun toy, at 8GB its just big enough to hold my music collection (6GB), a couple of videos and still have space to cache some video streams, barely! As mentioned elsewhere, the interface is quite cute and innovative. I love a touch screen and I love how big the screen is. Ok, here's the things I love about the Touch so far:

Simply Amazing....... This is my first Ipod but my fourth mp3 player. I have always been averse to trendy objects just because everyone else had one, and this is the way I had viewed the Classic Ipod. But then came the Ipod Touch and my curiosity was piqued. This device fills a gap and acts as a pseudo-PDA with wifi and web surfing ability, and is also able to do pictures and video. Though admittedly, on the 8GB model, it is debatable whether video is really and truly an option, as 8GB (heck, even 16GB) is a dear...

Good, not perfect I've had it for a few days now (8GB version). I chose it over the 8GB Nano because I figured the extra bells and whistles (larger screen, touch sensitivity, wi-fi, etc.) were worth an extra hundred bucks. I will share a few things I've discovered in my first week of ownership. First, the weak points (which most people want to hear first): Sound quality is on par with the Nano but doesn't seem as good as my wife's iPod video. Wallpaper can only display when unit is coming out of sleep mode, br...

I absolutely LOVE it, but... This was a gift from my fiancee, and I have been having a great time with it. For those of you who have not had an oportunity to see one in person, they are quite amazing: it feels like you are holding something from the future right in your hand. The interface is great (go Apple) and coverflow works like a charm.
As an iPod, the hardware still has some issues. On a couple of occasions, I have been showing-off the features to a friend (be prepared to do this a lot). During navig...

Much Better... After writing an unfavorable review for the iPod Touch 16Gb two months ago (and returning it for a refund) I was pleased to learn that Apple was releasing a new 32GB model. One of the main problems with the iPod Touch 16GB was the size of the flash memory. Why, with a beautiful, glass, widescreen display, would Apple design a video iPod with only 16GB of available drive space? My only guess was they were testing the waters for a new product...
All the faults of the 16GB Touch see...

Great device, intentionally crippled This is the first ipod I have owned (but not first mp3 player), so I didn't really know what to expect when I ordered it.
The touch has some very innovative features. The cover flow is a nice addition, the keyboard is surprisingly usable, and the built in wifi support is an incredibly useful thing to have.
However, those features cannot overcome the fact that Apple failed to include features that are a standard among every other MP3 player in the market, in some cases i...

Sweet advances I was looking to upgrade my trooper of an Ipod Mini and was going to upgrade to an Ipod classic but when I saw what the touch offered I was intrigued. What sold me on the touch was the wi-fi capability. After many years I reuturned to college to pursue a bachelors degree and the touch's wi-fi capability has been an excellent feature. Many of my courses have an online component and instead of hauling my laptop or wating in line to use one of the university's computers, I can use my touch to check...
