 Great piece of kit September 13, 2008

Arrived on the 12th September. First impressions box looks impressive. The touch did not disappoint. This latest version has a slimmer profile, a speaker, external volume control and comes with version 2.1 although I still had to update the firmware.
Very similar spec to the 1st version. Easy to use and loads apps to download. The internet browser is easy to zoom in with and connecting to home wifi worked fine. Loads of applications to add from itunes, lots of them free. Downloaded a video and that looks great too.
You do need to connect the touch to a PC with itunes first as you cannot just connect to wifi and use it without sync'ing it first.
Well worth the money a great gadget you will have fun playing with for a long time to come.
Battery life - Had it on all day today listerning to music and connect to my home wifi. Lastest about 13 hours before warning that the battery was down to 20%. Obviously if I had turned off the wifi it would have lasted longer
Great quality for money December 3, 2008

Considering that this is pretty much the new generation of technology it excites me everytime I get it out. I have absolutely fallen inlove with it, however because of the cost I am slightly scared to pull it out on the bus home as people in Birmingham don't have the best tendancies ;) However the wireless connectivity is great, I can sit in my room and still have no problem accessing my wireless from several rooms away. The sound is great from the built in speakers and that was a completely added bonus as I had no idea the new generation has that. The first time I started it up itunes found it quickly and the automatic set-up was quick and painless and the iPod was ready for use within less than half an hour. It's extremely thin however is quite long but I find it still fits snugly in my pockets. Graphics are great and battery life is average I find. Youtube really is an added bonus but you can't watch them without an internet connection (obviously). Considering the iPhone is pretty much double the price, this is amazing for the price. The warrantees an added bonus and amazon are always great and fast. One can also purchase silicon cases for cheap but they're not necessary as the screen is pretty much scratch resistent. The only fault I have with this is the earphones really but that's nothing as they are just too big for my ears and give me a head ache, but that was an easy and cheap fix. So well done, no regrets on this one!
The most exciting, beautiful MP3 on the market December 31, 2008

I got the 16GB Ipod Touch for Christmas and so far I am thoroughly satisfied with it. Firstly, it looks beautiful, is nice to hold and a pleasure to use.
The menu layout is very simple, you just tap what you want! The option to place shortcuts - maybe straight to albums for instance, would be even better. (It doesn't to my knowledge have this, but I might be wrong.) It pretty much does everything. You can watch TV shows, movies etc and the picture quality and screen clarity are pretty good. It can link up to your Nike+, providing playlists, statistics and feedback for your workouts; but only if you buy the separate attachment for your trainers. You can also display photos, read email, sync with your computer's calendar, contacts and more. You can also download infinite applications from the App Store straight to your Pod. These include games and musical instruments amongst other things - some are free, others aren't. Some are good...and others aren't!
The Safari internet browser is surprisingly useable, although it can be difficult to get a connection. The best thing about the wireless connection is the ability to download music straight to your Ipod. Wherever you have a WiFi connection you can add music (though disappointingly not video) to your collection. This is great if you're on the move and can't get to a computer.
It of course plays music, and displays the album artwork beautifully. Any complaints about sound quality can be remedied by purchasing a better quality pair of headphones such as Sennheiser or Bose for example. It also has an external speaker; the sound quality of this isn't brilliant but it serves a basic purpose. In order to store video, music and apps without worrying, I would recommend the 16GB version. This is plenty for me.
You will probably need a case or at the very least a screen protector, as it does pick up fingerprints and I'm guessing scratches, very easily. Like I said, there are a few issues with the wireless connection, and I have had some of the artwork icons disappearing on me, however for me there are barely any negatives to this great player. If you want no nonsense volume of storage I would go for the Ipod Classic, if you are concerned about size go for the Nano. If you want, to quote Apple - "the funnest Ipod ever", it has to be the Ipod Touch!! You won't regret it!
Apple iPod Touch 16GB - 2nd Gen February 4, 2009

What a brilliant product! I was new to Apple products as I had tried to resist Apple's dominance in the music player business, but reluctantly gave in because so many products are designed to work with them eg connectivity in cars, speakers with docks etc. But the iPod Touch is such a fantastic product I am completely bowled over. Everything about it has a feel of quality and sophistication and best of all works well. The touch screen leaves all others I have used, eg sat nav, in the dark ages. The wi fi connection works anywhere in my house where laptops struggle. I can watch the BBC iPlayer on the TV etc etc (with the correct lead) Brilliant!
One caveat though, you do have to accept Apples way of doing things eg music etc from the Apple Store. If you want to do things differently from the way Apple wants you to do then, perhaps this isn't the product for you. For me,for me Five Stars!

I dont like Apple products generally, but the new Ipod Touch is the coolest and most functional item I have ever bought. It really has that "wow!" factor and does everything you would want from an MP3 and then loads more. Plus you can easily, finally, load mp3s from your computer to the IPOD. You can surf the internet easily and comfortably - no more fiddling about this makes surfing on a small device practical and simple. Viewing youtube is also a big boost and it looks great. Same comments go for the email, photo viewer, map etc. etc... It is just one superbly designed piece of equipment that seems to know exactly what the customer wants. It is a little expensive but I paid 229 euros for the 8GB and that was from europe and I must say it is worth it. Hats off to Apple.
