Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: A Good Music player and a PDA
Summary: 5 Stars
Before buying this, I thought its expensive but now I feel its worth it.
General positive aspects
1. Good Quality mp3 Player
2. browsing easier than normal ipod
3. Wi-fi - Not all places wi-fi is available. I would download my mails at my home and read it during my travel offline.
4. got the cheapest deal at Amazon as compare to other sellers
5. I-tunes application used for upload is very user friendly. It automatically syncs music, photo etc files from specified folder. You need to set Sync option.
6. Stocks and weather are fairly good features if you have wi-fi.
7. 8GB storage is fairly enough for me as I didnt upload any movie files. and one can always change or replace mp3 as and when required.
Negative aspects (though they are not major)
1. I could not upload avi files that my digital camera created for video recording. That need conversion into ipod friendly files.
2. It does not have feature for auto power off. So if you forget to shut down. It will drain all power.
3. It uses lot of power for youtube video playback. But I preferr to see youtube videos in computer so not a issue.
Overall I would recommend this product.
Customer Review: In love with the iTouch
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a total tech nerd and it's almost shameful how much I spend on tech devices, I started with the Rio when I was 12 and it's been glory ever since. I have had a sidekick, every model iPod etc...so needless to say I am picky about product.
The iTouch seriously blew my socks off. It has a better wi-fi signal than my Mac computer and it's such a "thoughtful" device. It was hell setting up gmail with the uploaded 1.1.4 software so that's just a warning, the gmail directions or "simple set-up" didn't work for me. But now that i figured it out I LOVE it.
The contacts save and when you go to write an email they upload over there, you can program your email to just manualy check when you get on so it doesn't waste the battery, and even better you don't have to pay a monthly phone bill with it! I am seriously the biggest fan of this thing ever.
I am trying to think of lame things about it to warn costumers, I think the lamest thing is having no wall charger or having to switch out my Monster cable for a lower voltage (it will melt your iTouch with too much use). But that's about it.
I think even with the highest expectations you will be pleasantly suprised.
Customer Review: iPod Touch replaced my PDA
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who may be interested in acquiring an iPod Touch as a replacement for a PDA, I have found it to be quite useful. The primary function used in this regard is syncing with Microsoft Outlook, which works flawlessly. Now I can check appointments and find those phone numbers for early morning conference calls without waiting 10 minutes for my laptop to boot up.
The new software improves the functionality by adding the notes capability, and I even find myself frequently viewing video podcasts - something I never thought I would use.
The most important functions for me in a portable device are calendar, music, notes, photos, and Audible book playback, all of which this iPod handles very nicely. I have also used the maps feature for driving directions - load it up while on the home WiFi network, then the directions are retained for reference - in a much more useful format than if you print out the directions on Google. Just bring along a navigator, as I would not recommend trying to read the iPod while driving. The same applies to paper maps, of course.
On the downside, the battery life has not been great - less than two hours if actively using WiFi.
Customer Review: Ipod Touch - almost like a companion computer
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 52 years old and just received my Ipod Touch a few days ago. Upon opening, I was expecting to see a typical instruction book, that would begin with Congratulations on your Ipod Touch purchase! And would follow with step by step setup instructions. That did not happen. There is a short little setup guide pamphlet. So I was a little confused when I plugged the Ipod usb cable into the computer and the interface for the Ipod did not come up. Upon a little more research online, it seems you have to download Itunes first, install and then the Ipod Touch is activated. Here is a link I found that was very helpful in setting up and explained things well.

After this point, the setup really went very well. Basically with trial and error - but was just plain fun to spend time adding pictures and music. I did add an audio book, that had awesome playback. Setup for my Yahoo address was simple. The Ipod immediately read my wireless internet here at home. I love the Weather, YouTube and Map Connections.
This is an expensive item!! But, with all the wonderful technology included with the Ipod Touch it is well worth it to me.
Customer Review: Four Months Later and I'm Still Learning to Love It
Summary: 4 Stars
When my husband encouraged me to buy the iPod touch I couldn't help but wonder why I'd pay nearly $300 for an MP3 player. (I think on a basic use level like that.) I'd been perfectly happy with my iPod Nano for a couple of years, why switch?
For one, he wanted to test it out.
For two, it really is incredibly cool to use.
And for three, I keep discovering new ways to use it all the time.
I haven't even tapped into the power it has to manage my appointments or navigate me around. It's like a personal secretary and On-star in one...not to mention a music and video player and photo album and iTunes store.
Just about the only complaint I have with this device is in the music mode. Why doesn't the darn thing allow me to hit 'repeat' on a song? I had this issue with the Nano too. Seems like such a little thing (the issue that is). Sure I can hit the back button, but, seriously, this is/was a standard feature with most every cd player so why not iPod.
Overall, for those willing to spend the money--even if they aren't gadget geeks--they'll likely find an enjoyable personal pal in the iPod Touch.
