Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Great for what it has
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had my Ipod touch for about a month now and I am very satisfied. It is really cool in the fact that everything is done through your touch and is very enjoyable.
PROS:
1. Music, Video, and Photo work great and are really cool.
2. Graphics are great.
3. Internet works great with the Wi-fi
CONS:
1. While everything it has works great, it doesn't have much more than that. The thing is there isn't much more. I would expect some accessories or stuff to do while I'm playing my music but without access to the internet there isn't much to do. There are no games to install. One could jailbreak the ipod but that's very risky.
2. While it does have link to itunes, but you can't download like podcasts or any free music onto your ipod. You to listen to music from other websites and there is no way to download.
3. It ain't cheap.
If you have the money and you would like a flashy iPod have fun!
Customer Review: Fun new gizmo
Summary: 5 Stars
I've looked at the Iphones and lve the look and feel. But didn't want to bloat the monthly cell phone budget any further.
And I didn't need another Ipod. My 30 GB video Ipod has worked great since I got it. But I was drawn to the new Ipod Touch not just by its interface and sleek appearance.
It was the wi-fi. I like using it to check emails or a quick browse in the early morning or at night when I don't want to boot up my computer. Its quick and easy and the display is sharp enough to read text without a problem.
Another plus is the battery really lasts longer on this than on either or my two earlier Ipods. Finally, they got that right.
The cover display on the music end is very crisp and it works great with my Unviersal dock and remote.
On the down side, its only 8 gigs. But 2000 songs will last awhile.
The Ipod Touch is another step forward.
Customer Review: The best of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I never write reviews for products, but this one I think deserves one. First and foremost, this is a Ipod. The cover flow works beautifully, the interface is fast, and the album artwork looks great. Now what really gives it 5 stars. The WI-FI. I've owned many PDA's, Dell Axim VGA, Palm Pilots, etc. But you never could read Ebay on any of them. The Ipod Touch makes that a thing of the past. Sure you have to zoom it, but it looks and works great and is very quick also. I do have one gripe though, if you fool with your Ipod video in the car alot, skipping songs, etc., this may not be for you, since it requires your visual attention, driving and operating this would not be safe. The Ipod Classic or Nano would be better suited for people that change songs alot in the car. Kudos Apple, another awesome product! In fact over this purchase I bought a Mac also, I have 4 PC's and OS X looked really good, so I purchased a computer as well.
Customer Review: Definitely good if this is what you want . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
1. Wi-Fi connection, you've gotta accept that it's not like an iPhone that can do internet connection anywhere that has a signal. But you know, Starbucks, Panera Bread, around your house, college, and so on.
2. Multi Touch, which is works really good and easy to use. Easy to type
3. Chat via meebo.com
4. PDA-like, planner (calendar), calculator, contacts.
5. Small, thin, tiny, and comfortable enough to fit in your pocket.
6. YouTube which works pretty good and easy to use
7. iTunes music store which also good and easy to use again
Overall, it works pretty good, don't know what to say. Anyway, it should be better when Apple allow 3rd party program sometime between February and March.
The bad things
- no built in Mail, Weather, Stocks
- no speakers
- access internet only thru wi-fi connection
- no bluetooth
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a lot of reviews before committing to this product. I am really glad I went ahead with it, despite some mediocre reviews. The audio and video are great. I know they will continue to improve this product and I would like to see a longer battery life, and of course, lower price. I would recommend it, and purchase it again.
Update: 2010 I also have other iPods so this one sat in a drawer for several months-when I got it out recently and went to update the software in my iTunes program it would not update and just keeps telling me there is an error of some kind, did I want to clear it off. Yes I did and now it no longer works at all--so having paid a ton of money for this originally--it is now useless. I do love Apple products and iPods but this was a huge disappointment to find this little gem will no longer work. I will need to call Apple and find out what to do. Who needs the hassle!
