Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Exquisite piece of technology
Summary: 5 Stars
I got my first CD player about 15 years ago, but rarely purchased CDs. The thought of spending $15 to $20 on every CD that may or may not have more than 1 song I liked on it seemed ridiculous. You could say I've waited 15 years for this.
The iPod touch 8GB is absolutely beautiful. The design is impeccable. The system is so easy to learn. But I do have one small complaint. I would prefer a paper manual for quick reference in locating features of the iPod. I agree that it is best to minimize over-production of paper products that can be supplemented by digital documents. But I still hate reading through manuals via my computer monitor. Yet, the lack of paper manual, that I would have looked at only a few times, does not hold weight against my love for my iPod touch.
I am at a loss for where to begin a description of everything I love about the entire design and function. But one thing I must point out is that the use of the internet browser is not frustrating. I would have expected frustration in surfing the internet without a large monitor, mouse and keyboard. Truly a remarkable design in making the speed & simplicity of surfing the net on a small iPod.
Thank you Apple, I love you.
Customer Review: Another Music player with Big Screen !!!! ( if you are not in Wi-Fi region )
Summary: 4 Stars
Hi Guys,
I got his iTouch in December. This is really a awesome device. I should add one thing first before i go any furthur though... the You tube and safari and all the those things in january software update ( I got to purchase it by paying 20 bucks , cause it is released in Jan not in Dec 2007) only works when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, otherwise this thing is just another iPod with big screen, ofcourse with a touch functionality. It advertises tons of things,but all those things will work only when you are connected to wi-fi.
So keeping that aside, this device is the coolest thing you can have. First thing one notice is, easy of operation on this device, which is a very big plus. The user interface is very very simple and easy to navigate and very very intutive. Music sounds much better than the 60GB iPod i have. You can download and play movies and you can play slide shows of your pics all those usual stuff. But as far to check weather using this device when you are on the road, forget it.. You need a wi-fi spot.
All i can say is it is cool device when you are in wi-fi spot otherwise consider it as a music player/video player.

Customer Review: AMAZING.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this I-pod. I got rid of my blackberry because of it. There was no use for it, as living in NYC means you have endless wi-fi hotspots. The internet on the touch is far superior to any cell phone internet I've used.
The first i-pod touch I received had a faulty battery, and wouldn't turn on. I had to exchange it, (depressing since it was engraved) but luckily got one that worked.
But to the music......being able to download from itunes from the ipod is awesome! It makes me not mind paying for music! The only caveat is that you cannot download podcasts or videos straight to the ipod, which will probably change by the next incarnation. I love the sound on this ipod, combined with the bose sound dock or i-home especially.
The only thing that makes me nervous, is the large beautiful screen. Should a scratch get on it, I would definitely be heartbroken. The other problem I have with it, you cannot add anything to the calendar from the ipod itself, you must add it from the computer.
Despite that, I LOVE THIS IPOD. If you can drop the big penny on it, do it. You will not regret it!
Customer Review: Grandpa's iPod
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted an MP3 player for music, but I also wanted to have photos of my granddaughter, audio books, podcasts (weather, science, NPR programming), video, and WiFi access ( I get stuck at banquets from time to time, wanted to be able to check sports scores, etc ). But, I did NOT want an iPhone - didn't want the cost associated with data plans, and didn't want a device used for relaxation and recreation to be interrupting me with phone calls... so, the iPod Touch fit the bill for me.
The screen is sharp and clear - photos and videos look fantastic on it. As to the sound quality, it sounds great to me - but I also have old ears, so my hearing is probably not the best test of audio quality.
The only thing keeping it from being five stars are:
a. no physical volume control - so, if iPod is in sleep mode, need to wake it up and use the on screen slider to adjust the volume.
b. at the moment, cannot install additional applications. That is supposed to change in February when the developer's kit is released.
All in all, I love it, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
Customer Review: Great product!!! It is a must own. 4 3/4 stars!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the touch as a replacement for my wife's MP3 which was stolen. After playing with it for a couple of hours and get it loaded with her music I when out and bought me one. I don't listen to a lot of music but this thing is WAY more then a MP3 player. I love movies and own upwards 500 DVDs. I found a software online that rips the DVD into the Ipod format. I syncd it up to the Touch and have been watching movies on the go for the past two days.
The interface on this went playing music is awsome in how you can "flip" through album covers to find the music you want to listen to.
There are couple things that made me mark my rating down to 4 stars.
--You have to pay $20 for the extra programs which really should have been free and on the system from the start.
--it would have been nice to add a FM transmitter to the unit to be able to play in the car without have to by a transmitter.
--the unit "desktop" should be able to turn if the unit is on its side like the internet does over the music does.
Like I said small things. if there was a way to do 4 3/4 starrs I would for this product.
