Apple iPod Touch 8GB MP3 Player - Black

Ipod Touch

Posted Nov 17, 2007 - This is the best ipod yet. It's display is crystal clear. The menus are easy to use. I was able to sync my old songs from my previous ipod without any problems. The only issue I have is connecting to my wireless router for Wi-fi. My router is encrypted but I do not want to decrypt it to pick up the signal since others in my area can catch my signal. I'm sure there is a way around this but I haven't figured it out yet. All in all this is the perfect gift for the holidays.

iPod Touch

Posted Nov 16, 2007 - Bought this great little gadget intent to get a web browser with an added MP3 player. So far, the device is a joy to use at home and at work. It is heavier than it looks but not too much to hold (I think it weighs more than you'd expect because the screen is glass instead of plastic). This device is as thin as an iPod Nano but otherwise roughly the dimensions of a regular iPod or an iPhone. The one gripe I have with it so far is that browsing the web drains the battery in 3-4 hours. Apple didn't post how long the battery would last in that scenario so I imagine, if you use it for just music or just videos with WIFI turned off, the battery will last as advertised. Also, after browsing the web for a while, the device feels noticeably warm to the touch (must be working harder to browse the web than to play music). Overall though, it is a nifty little gadget that I am glad I bought!

Touching is believing!

Posted Dec 12, 2007 - If your considering buying the touch then i hope this helps you make up your mind. The Good - First off, there are NO more screen defects. those were all worked out in earlier weeks of production. This is probably the first ipod made that is woth watching a movie on. The screen really is gorgeous and the touch interface is worth all the hoopla. Doing almost anything on this ipod is fun, because you get to touch and flick through everything. As always the sound and picture quality is amazing, so no surprises there. The wifi is quick and safari is the best you can get next to an actual computer. The Bad - The 8/16 space. Now it's mainly a problem because of the space video takes up. I would recommend the 16gb, it gives you plenty of room to switch outthe songs & movies and such you need to take with you.

Music, Internet, Email, Maps, what more could you possibly want?

Posted Feb 13, 2008 - The iTouch easily connects to wireless networks, even with WEP encryption. I use it on my encrypted network at home, at school, and on public networks just about everywhere else I go. Battery life is quite good if you don't use wireless too much (even better if you turn it off completely). The interface is so intuitive, anyone can use it right out of the box! This is probably the only ipod that can't be controlled without looking at it. This could be a problem for you if you mostly use your ipod in the car, etc. Unfortunately you can't yet download podcasts wirelessly. You have to use iTunes for that. Wireless music downloads work fine.

Ipod Touch

Posted May 24, 2008 - All in all, this is a great device. I love how intuitive and easy to use it is. The way this handles pictures, music, video, and everything else is just great. One of the best things about the Ipod Touch is that it can browse the internet; the great thing is, it can zoom in on anything just right for you to read it.

Finally, a TRUE video iPod.

Posted Oct 19, 2007 - Finally a true of video iPod. This unit is exactly like the iPhone, just without the phone, and a few other features. One nice thing about the iPod Touch v.s. the iPhone is that the headphone jack is not recessed. This is nice because you can use any standard earphones, and not just the ones that Apple provides. The unit has WiFi so you can connect to the internet just like the iPhone. You can now also connect to the iTunes music store and buy music, right from your iPod! Some downsides of the feature packed unit is that the battery does not last that long, unless all you do is play back music with the screen turned off. Also, the unit gets warm after a long time of operation. Other then that, this unit is very nice. This is by far one of the best MP3 players that anyone has ever created, and at $299, the price won't brake the bank compared to other look-a-likes.

An iPhone without the phone

Posted Oct 5, 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 Coverflow 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. 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.

ipod Touch

Posted Nov 8, 2007 - First, I had read most of the reviews about the new ipod Touch before buying. Most of the negative reviews were about the ipod Touch not being as good a music player as past ipods and I would have to agree. The point that one must consider is that this ipod offers so much more than previous ipod models. First, the screen is top notch and large enough to be able to enjoy a videos. WIFI capabilities, particularly the Safari web browser are fantastic. On the down side, with WIFI turned on, the battery life could be better, I estimate that I get about 3 hours of battery life with WIFI on, not the 5 hours advertised by Apple. I still use my ipod mini for listening to music, but for ultra portable web browsing and video playback, this is a very good choice.

Ipod Touch 8 GB MP3 Player

Posted Oct 10, 2007 - Here's my initial thoughts on the new Ipod Touch Player. I love the new interface, but it does take a little time to get used to not having the touch sensitive wheel. The ability to download songs from any Wifi location is a nice perk as well, although no song sharing is a bummer. The screen is really nice and a major upgrade when watching movies in widescreen on the unit. The unit itself is very thin and light, but I'm not sure its sturdy enough to use while excerising or doing other manual chores. The downside is that 8GB won't hold many movies after ripping, but as long as you manage your songs and videos with the Itunes software in advance, this shouldn't be an issue. Also doesn't play XVID or AVI video formats, so you'll have to convert to MPEG to play movies. In summary, if you prefer a bigger screen and more style, then definitely check out this version. If you want more memory and don't watch movies on your ipod, then check out the 80GB Classic version.

Best Toy of 2007

Posted Nov 10, 2007 - I absolutely LOVE this thing. I got it the day they came out, having played with the demo model in the Apple Store until my fingers hurt. The interface is pure GENIOUS. Apple at it's BEST.
