The iPod touch has it all- Internet access, music, videos, and everything else you can ask for in an iPod. Simply put, if you're wanting an iPod, this is the real dea. I'm sure the new Nanos coming out will be fantastic, but nothing will ever come close to this. I can't believe this has been out for over a year now, because this still feels brand new as if it just got released. I got myself one of these and I can't stop listening to it!
PROS:
-Touch screen has brightness adjustment
-Album cover visible while listening to music
-Cover flow is great, you can pick whatever album you want
-iTunes is included
-Comes with something if you wanna blast it through a huge speaker
-iBuds have been improved a bit, they fit in your ear much better
-YouTube is incredibly fast
-Safari is really fun, you can go on whatever website
-Great video quality
CONS:
-Sometimes the font on websites can be annoyingly small
-facebook goes automatically to iPhone
-Battery life is annoyingly short (though I guess this is understandable since the backlight is always on)
Aside from those cons, this is a beautiful thing. This is something I'm glad I bought, it's amazing. If you need an iPod really bad, buy one of these!
Customer Review: Great iPod!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my iPod Touch!!! It is wonderful! I have not had any issues with it, it works great. It is a breeze to add items, delete items, play, etc. I like the touch option, that is great. I think the picture quality on the screen is really good. I watch movies on it all the time now and don't have any viewing problems. The colors are awesome and really pop out at you.
I like the datebook option, it is much easier to use then previous iPods. The internet works great, pretty fast for such a small devise.
The one thing I would suggest is to purchase a skin when you buy this product, the fingerprints accumulate VERY fast and just make the back look dirty. I bought a skin the 2nd day I owned it.
The battery isn't bad, I use my iPod through the day then charge it at night. I don't the internet option all day though so I am not sure if the battery dies quicker when you do. Usually if I am listening to music, watching a movie or playing a game I can do that all day and still have about 1/3 of battery left when I plug it in at night.
I love putting pictures on it, that is really cool. Plus when you turn the iPod, the picture will change from portrait to landscape, that is cool.
I do not regret purchasing this item. It is awesome and well worth it.
Customer Review: hope you live in a temperate climate...

Obviously from all these other reviews this is by far the most functional product out there, and I'm not disputing that at all, I loved my Ipod touch, but they have a ridiculously short lifespan. The kicker is that if you as much as sweat on it or expose it to rapidly changing temperatures (as is common in the upper midwest) your warranty is voided and your Ipod might not last long at all.
I just lost an Ipod touch due to moister condensation from taking it from 30 degree weather to 70 degree weather. That created enough condensation to trip the water marker inside the Ipod which voids the warranty and shorted out the screen. To top it off; that one was actually a replacement for another Ipod touch because the first one I got had a phone jack that broke within a month of normal use, and then this one had a faulty screen due to "water damage" and now Apple conveniently doesn't have to replace it anymore.
Just read some of the discussions on Apples site about Ipods and water damage, it literally takes just one drop of water to short it out and void the warranty.
So if your getting one my advice is to live somewhere that doesn't get too cold or put you in situations that allow moisture condensation to happen.
Customer Review: What a High Quality Mp3 Player and Organizer
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this mainly as a source to watch portable videos, music, and as an alarm clock and calender and such. The amount of applications that you can put on is vast and a lot of them are free which are cool. I would think 8gb was enough for me because I had about 3 full movies and about 20 mp3 albums on mine and it still didn't touch the storage space. If your looking for a PDA, music, video, calender and such, look no further. I would suggest getting the 2nd generation iTouch they have now because it has an external speaker as well as headphones. The first gen you can only use headphones to listen to sound. The 2nd generation is also smaller and a little better software updated I believe. I am just reviewing this one because this is the one I bought when I had it. The touch screen is amazing and this is the device that made me fall in love with Apple. Their macbooks are nice, but the performance is not up to par on how much they cost. I would definately buy Apple Accessories like this again though, I was thinking about getting the 2nd gen because I sold my first gen. Maybe when they come down in price a little. Anyways, if you want a great mp3 player, look no further this is the best product you will find, it's simply amazing.
