Amazing MP3 Player

Strengths:

Clarity of screen Screen Size- nice and big! Access to WebApps CoverFlow- one of the coolest ways to browse through music. Very smooth touch sensitivity

Weaknesses:

The price can be a bit too much for some people.

Posted Jan 4, 2008 - I got this as a Christmas gift, and I've got to tell you, it is an amazing piece of technology. Worth every penny. I am not a big fan of mp3 players, but this really is awesome and I carry it with me everywhere. I really enjoy watching videos on here, and the convenience of using the internet is really awesome. It can really make your life easy when you need to look something up. The size is great also, and with a protective shield, just leave this in your pocket and you are good to go! The price might be the only thing that can cause it's downfall, but overall its amazing!

Wow!

Strengths:

razor-thin; touch screen; unbelievably fast software; unbelievably eye-candy software; CoverFlow is amazing ; very functional software - it's very natural to use it.

Weaknesses:

A little bit heavy for its thickness. But it has a lot of metal and glass, so it's not actually surprising. 16 GB is not enough for me

Posted Nov 14, 2007 - I bough the iPod touch 16GB about a month ago, and I can summarize the review with "Wow!" It's an unbelievable device, that seems to come from the future. It's almost perfect.

The iPhone without the phone functions

Strengths:

Great user interface--just touch the glass screen for most functions. MP3 player, web browser, calendar, address book and video player all on one device!

Weaknesses:

Limited memory, fingerprints easily displayed. No power adapter included.

Posted Nov 18, 2007 - If you want the coolest iPod yet check out the Apple iPod touch. This radical design lets you listen to your music as well as browse the internet among other features. Apple has taken the iPhone and removed the telecommunication capabilities. It is thinner than the iPhone, but has many of its functions. It can play music from iTunes or your CDs. It is a web browswer as well (as long as you have access to Wi-Fi). There is only one button (HOME) and you just use your fingers to navigate its many features on its 3-1/2 inch screen. The Cover Flow feature lets you view your album covers as if in a moving rack. Just touch the album and you can select your music. There are a few downsides to this attractive iPod. Apple could have boosted the memory. Currently it is available in 8GB (1750 songs) or 16GB (3500 songs). Hopefully, future versions will have more memory at the same price points. If you don't have an abundance of songs to import, then 16GB may be enough. I initially boiught the 8GB version, but soon discovered that it was already 80% full with not much room to expand, so I bought the 16GB version instead. When you open the box, the only instructions is a small foldout giving you absolutely minimal instructions. A mini-manual would have worked better. Since most functions work with just your finger on the glass screen, it does leave fingerprints. Of course, these can be easily cleaned, but it is a problem if you want to keep it looking clean. This is a great device and once you get the hang of it, a pleasure to use. If Apple would boost the memory size, it would be an MP3 player for the world to beat.

Strengths:

Wi-Fi capability, styling

Weaknesses:

Storage size, price

Posted Dec 1, 2007 - The Apple iPod touch 16GB MP3 Player is a really cool device. It not only will store and play all your MP3 songs and video clips, it allows you to connect to the internet with it's Wi-fi capability and Safari browser. Some question the 16 GB storage capacity as being too small but I think it has ample storage for most users. It's price is a drawback but you generally get what you pay for, and the Ipod Touch is not cheap. I like the computer software which accompanies the unit and allows you to manage all your audio and video files. This is the first Ipod I have owned since the early variety came out and I am most imporessed. One final comment - if you can afford it get one and you won't regret it.

Apple iPod touch 16GB MP3 Player

Strengths:

User interface, size, great styling, performance.

Weaknesses:

High price makes it a target for theft so don't let it out of your grasp.

Posted Dec 11, 2007 - Apple has hit another home run with this evolutionary portable music player. All my expectations were totally met. This product has raised the bar very high for any future competitive products. Unlike some other well publicized high-tech products, it was easy to find many places to buy this, and I even got it at a small discount. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Apple cut the price after the Holiday buying season.

just about perfect..everything i expected and more!

Strengths:

bluetooth, WiFi, battery lasts a long time, large screen

Weaknesses:

a tad pricey, a little tricky to figure out the buttons when it's in your pocket!

Posted Jan 7, 2008 - it's thin, it's lightweight, the clarity of the image is incredible! I love how its interface automatically detects its orientation (movies are viewed in landscape format). It has built-in WiFi that connects to the internet through normal hotspots. (It even remembers hotspots it has connected to already, just like a laptop). It also comes with a special version of iTunes called the 'WiFi Music Store'. That way you can instantly purchase music (not videos).

16 gig iTouch

Strengths:

Compact, large screen, simple control.

Weaknesses:

MEMORY!

Posted Jan 18, 2008 - I had an 8 gig Nano 3G right before I got this Touch. No Comparison! There are feature differences, but the huge, crisp screen makes up for the lack of mechanical controls. I see the beef about the thing being so proprietary...and how Apple charges for every little thing. I just use it for music and video, and convert them myself, so I didn't care about the programs, or "jailbreaking". I used a PSP with wifi and it was nearly pointless. This iTouch does the web with such ease, I am selling my laptop! Yes, I call it iTouch...sounds better than iPod Touch. Some geeks are so touchy... ;) And if anyone wants to impress me with a hack, in a year or so show me a pic tutorial on how to change the flash drive hardware for the bigger 2G stuff! 10 out of 10 for all factors, go get one.

Apple iPod Touch 16GB

Strengths:

Amazing user interface

Weaknesses:

Expensive, limited memory

Posted Jan 1, 2008 - The iPod Touch is marketed as an iPod, but it is more like a PDA or mini laptop. The first day we had it, we didn't even listen to any music, there were too many other neat things to do, like surf the web. This is a great device for anyone who has WiFi available. The user interface is amazing, it is like something from the future. The screen even rotates from portrait mode to landscape mode automatically when you rotate the iPod. The only real problem with the Touch is the limited memory for the price. In summary, the iPod Touch is much more than an iPod. You are paying for the novel design, user interface and WiFi capabilities.

Ipod Touch 16 gig review

Strengths:

Awesome design, picture quality is amazing and very clean

Weaknesses:

Touch screen pad is difficult to use at times

Posted Dec 23, 2007 - I purchased two Apple Touch Ipods 16 gig and love it. The picture quality is amazing and the sound comes out perfectly. I heard you can use wifi to get on the internet which I am excited about and plan to use all the time. The only drawback is that it is hard to be precise when choosing a song because the screen is so sensitive and fat fingers don't help. All in all, a great product which I highly recommend.

Best substitute for the iPhone.

Strengths:

Everything.

Weaknesses:

No camera, PRICE!!!!

Posted Jan 5, 2008 - I got the 16gb touch for x-mas and it's perfect for the things I like. I just wish it had a camera like the iPhone, more gigabytes, and a better price.

iPod Touch

Strengths:

Sound quality is amazing!

Weaknesses:

It is not a PDA...

Posted Feb 17, 2008 - This is the ultimate iPod, and a must-buy for music lovers. I absolutely love it; what a great product. The touchscreen works very well. The scrolling and 'pinching' features are really cool. The other features such as Calendar, Contacts, and Photos work great. Overall, this is an amazing device, which indeed make your life more fun!

The best iPod I have ever owned

Strengths:

Screen size User interface Capacity

Weaknesses:

Not a 3G iPhone :)

Posted 1 year ago - I love my iPod Touch. It's super easy to get some movies on it and the screen is big enough so you can really enjoy what you are watching. The user interface is really great and intuitive. The combination with iTunes makes everything simple. I definitely recommend this iPod to anyone who wants the best media/mp3 player.

Cool, awesome device with some flaws

Strengths:

Touch screen interface is really cool and awesome. Itunes is great for sorting music as far as music software goes.

Weaknesses:

Expensive for the capacity, Apple nickel-and-dimes users by charging for every upgrade that should have been free to begin with.

Posted Jan 17, 2008 - The Ipod Touch is my first Ipod and I'm very happy with it. It still has some drawbacks but nothing compared to most other MP3 players. Itunes is actually very good software for sorting and synching music, but I still would rather be able to drag and drop instead of having to use software just to transfer music. It feels very controlling of Apple. It is also annoying how Apple tries to sell you every thing imaginable through iTunes but I guess it's understandable. The fiasco with the "upgrade" costing $20 is pretty indefensible and no other company gets away with nickel-and-diming customers for stuff that should have been there to begin with, like Apple. Other companies would get drilled for this behaviour. On the plus side, the capacity is just fine for my needs and I listen to some large radio shows. The touch interface is just awesome and needs to be experienced to truly appreciate. It makes sorting and playing music easier than anything else. Wifi is pretty nice too, where available, and the way the browser zooms and pans is really a milestone compared to other devices that do mobile Internet like the awful Blackberry.

Not revolutionary but evolutionary

Strengths:

super slim, big screen, wifi

Weaknesses:

no volume or next buttons

Posted Oct 4, 2007 - I was hesitant at first but jumped in and purchased the Touch. I prefer the interface more than the classic and even though there has been debate about "only" having 16gb of space, I find it a non issue as learning how to manage what you listen to compensates for this shortfall. widescreen for watching videos is also great for car trips. also, being flash based just makes it less prone to break if you workout because no moving parts as the classic does. of course, the touch interface is a big selling point and I find it fun and easy to use. gives me quick access to internet if i'm around a coffee shop or just hanging around on campus. overall, if you don't have another ipod then this is a great purchase.

Apple IPod Touch 46gb MP3 Player

Strengths:

Big Screen, Touch Screen, Wifi, and Thin.

Weaknesses:

No Bluetooth, No Camera,

Posted Oct 31, 2007 - Overall this is a revolutionizing piece of equipment. It's great to see where Apple is taking up with these gadgets that we never had before. I would recommend this to all the new comers into Tech Gadgets. But for me I wish I would of waited for the next version which I think will have the built in camera and the bluetooth technology.
