Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod touch 16 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Fanstastic ipod ... awesome wi-fi
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy this ipod touch! I'm one of the few who hadn't bought an ipod (or any other mp3 player) but did digitize my entire music library. I'm glad I waited. Although I'm sure I'd have enjoyed past models, this one is really something else!
My favorite features:
1) The user interface and menues are extremely well thought out. Everything is so intuitive that you will be navigating through every corner in no time. It's just so nice to look at.
2) I LOVE the wi-fi. I actually find it so simple to preview and buy songs on the iTunes wi-fi store, that I probably won't be using the PC for that anymore. I'm amazed at how quickly the pages and songs load.
3) The safari browser is so easy to use. And You Tube was incredibly simple and fast!
Admittedly, I'm not looking for much of the PDA-type functionality in my ipod - I'll continue to use my cell phone or blackberry for those things. But I differ with the opinions that the touch is just a nice ipod. One, it's in a league of it's own with it's interface, but the wi-fi takes the ipod to the next level. The widescreen and accelerometer make video and picture viewing much nicer too.
For me, the additional features are worth the extra $, and I definitely favor the flash players over the larger hardrive players.
I'd suggest go trying an ipod touch out ... but beware ... chances are you'll be taking one home (if there are any left in stock).
Customer Review: Freezes alot
Summary: 4 Stars
The only problem I had with it really is that it freezes alot, then u have to reset it and it takes a few minutes to reset it. Pain in the butt when ur in the middle of listening to music or doing something. But that may be just cause mine is jailbroken/hacked. When the ipod touch is jailbroken, it's possibilities are endless, although when it's jailbroken the warrenty is void. But u can just plug the ipod to the computer, open iTunes and restore it to it's original state. the state it was in when u first bought it, then apple will never know u jailbroke it. jailbreaking the ipod is basicly installing a program off the ipod's internet, called safari, called "installer", and installer lets u install other user created programs. There's a program for anything you can think of. Aside from it being jailbroken, the ipod it's self has alot of cool features, like just the fact that it's "touch" feature makes everything so much more fun. Not only is it touch but it's also motion censored as you see in some games as well as when u listen to music and surf the web, being the fact that when u listen to music or surf the web and turn the ipod a certain way, everything turns to "landscape mode" which is just a different layout of everything. To finish off this review, one major thing i was worried about was the screen's durability from wear and tear, but the screen is Very durable. You can take a razor blade to the thing and it still wouldn't scratch the thing. I recommend this iPod.Customer Review: BEST iPOD EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best iPod I have ever used. The user interface is amazing, with the accelerometer to change the orientation of the screen. Video and coverflow are amazingly clear and smooth. As for Safari, at the risk of repeating myself AMAZING! I don't know how they designed a full web browser (except flash, yet...) into the iPod Touch. The zooming and everything is very easy to use. Also, WiFi isn't slow like in other wireless electronic devices. Not T1, but adequate. Most of all what surprises me about this product is that is very intuitive. I didn't even read the manual and I already know how to use everything on the iPod. A continuation of Apple's ability to make easy to use electronics. My only hesitation was the size. But, 16 GB is enough for most (not all of you with 100,000 songs on your 80 GB iPod video or whatever, but most). I have about 10 GB of songs, and the rest I'm reserving for videos and photos. Enough for a couple movies and a good amount of pictures. Just manually select which videos you want on your iPod in iTunes.
Also, as of yet, the only case available from Apple are the iPod socks (too overpriced and not effective enough for me). Though some third party sellers, including Amazon have put out their own cases.
Overall, best iPod ever. Once you buy yours, you'll see what I mean. Happy Buying!
Customer Review: Wi-Fi Handheld + an iPod
Summary: 4 Stars
There are a lot of reviews here that go into great detail about what is great or missing from this product. For me the best feature is the OS. This is a lot more than a dedicated music/video player. The iPod touch will grow as new software becomes available. (That said add $20 to the price for the software update.) Future third party software will add tons of apps, games and who knows what else to the Touch. For now the revised calender and Gmail features are well worth the upgrade.
Yes I think there is room for improvement with the hardware. I expect version 2 will have more processing power, memory (32 meg model now available) and better battery life. This is not a phone, so I don't expect a speaker or camera. I would like to see blue tooth added at some point for wireless sync and earphones. I am a bit frustrated by the lack of a replaceable battery in touch and other Apple products (iPods, iPhone and now the Air). My guess is this trend will continue. I'm hoping by the time the battery conks out I will be ready to upgrade to a much better product.
I'm sure Apple marketing would object to The iPod touch being referred to as a "PDA", but it is probably a better description. This is a really great hand-held that is being marketed as an iPod plus Wi-Fi apps. As more software becomes available, I think the opposite will be true.
Customer Review: Best MP3 ever - this is what I've been waiting for!
Summary: 5 Stars
About 3 and a half years ago, I became a new member of the Apple iPod family with my just released iPod mini (G1). It was one of the best gifts I ever got and probably the most used thing I own next to my laptop and cell phone. Every year, Apple would release new, shiny, fun iPods but they all just seemed to be modifications upon the same general concept (not a complaint considering it was such an amazing concept). Even the video iPod just didn't seem worth splurging for since it really only had more space than mine, a color screen, and video. I vowed that when Apple released a revolutionary new update, I would jump on it and finally, they released the iPod Touch - the most amazing new iPod I could have hoped for. It is pretty much every new feature I could hope for, and I absolutely love it. The iPod Touch is THE BEST MP3 PLAYER ON THE MARKET - hands down!! I definitely recommend it, especially if you have an old MP3 player or iPod, or if you're looking for your first one. I've never had the desire for video on my iPod before but after getting the Touch, I've downloaded at least 20 TV shows to watch on the train, while doing laundry, or whenever I'm bored and not at home. It's an amazing device and once you get it, there's no going back to a non-iPod MP3 (or to any other iPod for that matter)!!
