Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

What's in the Box:
16 GB iPod touch, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth, stand, quick start guide.



Product Description
With the Apple iPod touch, Apple has married the iPhone's revolutionary multi-touch interface to their popular digital media player.

The latest iPod touch now offers a suite of new applications, including email, maps, and handy widgets for weather, notes, and stocks. The new iPod touch also features a customizable home screen that lets you rearrange buttons and create your own Web Clips.

4 out of 5 stars Not Perfect BUT Highly Functional   May 11, 2008
This is a product that sucessfully mixes form & function. The IPOD TOUCH looks great with it's minimalistic design, and it performs to or above your expectations. I am happy with my purchase, but here are some things that you might considering before making your own purchase.

PROs
- Looks good, Apple always make there products look good, clean, hip.
- Applications (Calender, notepad, browser, contacts, email, etc.) allow you to treat it like a PDA.
- The Safari Web Browser has better navigation than anything else out
(better than browsers on PSP or Archos PMP)and in my experience the load time is much better, too.
- Full Keyboard, with easy access to (numbers & symbols.) There is a short learning curve, but that is to be expected. As a bonus the Ipod touch does also have a spell check/suggestor.
- Maps(application)basically gives you a free "GPS"(If you can access some WiFi in you present location)


CONs
- Highly suseptible to scratches, get a case & a screen cover(s)
- No hold button - If you bump the power button while it is in your pocket it will likely turn on & juice the battery.
- Terrible Battery Life (I have to charge mine every night)

KNOCKs (would've been nice, but not a reason not to buy)
- For $300 you would think you would get a larger amount of memory.
- You can only see streamed videos at YouTube or Flash format.
- No zooming on your videos, but you can adjust wide screen/pan scan.
- A free video converter would've been awesome, but Apple wants you to buy Quicktime Pro. If you're happy paying for all your videos this isn't gonna be a problem. If you download most or all of your video content your gonna need a video converter, I got and highly recomend AVS Video Converter it converts ANY FILE to be acessible to ANY DEVICE.
- It would've been nice to have an internal speaker, but we all knew it didn't have one when we bought em.



4 out of 5 stars Ipod Touch   May 10, 2008
Though shipping was slow due to international shipping, the process was easy and quick. Hardest part was to wait for it, but it was moderately priced and was I was looking for. I got what I wanted.


5 out of 5 stars Best buy I had in a long time   May 9, 2008
I bought an 16GB ipod touch after take a deep look at my friends one. 16GB of memory and just a tad bigger video screen wasn't so appealing at first glance, however when I made more research and watch how the safari web browser worked, the wifi connectivity and a cool handy virtual keyboard, I decided that I needed to get one of these ASAP, the price dropped when the 32GB was launched so I bit the bullet and placed the order on amazon.

Since it arrived 2 weeks ago I take it with me everywhere, I don't even take my laptop to the college anymore, this is all I need to take notes, check my email, stay online on msn, watch some vids on youtube and surf the web for any required information.

After the mandatory jailbreak you start to see the ipod touch as something pretty useful, I installed wikipedia, mxtube, iphysics, translation dictionarys and some games to keep myself entertained everywhere I go.

The wireless works pretty good, the GUI is impressive, keyboard is a big small but it's possible to get used to it and be able to type very quick with no mistakes.

The ipod touch has gone beyond any of my expectations, all my friends want to buy one after see what is this little gadget is capable of.

The downsides I noticed are minor stuff, however I'll mencion them anyway: there is no copy paste command on safary, safary stops the browsing if there is any flash video, the chromed back can be scratched very easy, I only use it for 5 minuted and already had some parts with some deep tracks, so you might want to consider a best skins ever full body skin.

I recommend this item very much



2 out of 5 stars Insanely mediocre ... a video player, not a mobile computing device   May 9, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

OK... here's the iPod Touch in a nutshell:

PROS:
- beautiful screen
- nice interface
- decent sound
- excellent Web browser (when WiFi works)
- perfect for watching videos purchased from iTunes

CONS
- Can't save text to it in any form (ASCII, PDF, RSS, HTML... nothing!)
- Virtual controls make it impossible to adjust music without looking at it
- WiFi doesn't support LEAP protocol, commonly used by corporations with secure networks
- No ability to download applications, information... nothing, except content purchased from iTunes

Basically, the iPod Touch is a portable video player. If you want to watch TV shows or movies on your morning commute, and are comfortable with the iTunes buying experience, it works very well. You want to actually use it as a mobile computing device? It's useless. Apple has deliberately hobbled it so it won't compete with the iPhone. The fact you can't save any text to it is beyond ludicrous. How incredibly useful this device would be if you could load it up with news clippings or books or web content or e-mails or friggin' notes you typed up yourself... but you can't. You can buy movies and music from iTunes. That's really all it's designed to do.

I feel seriously cheated by the iPod Touch... cheated by a 16GB handheld computer that won't let me load a lick of ASCII to it (contact and calendar sync notwithstanding). Never would have bought it if I had realized that. It's a major screw-the-customer job from Apple that I can only hope they rectify with a upcoming software update.

4 out of 5 stars Go for the Iphone!!   May 9, 2008
The Iphone has more features! If you need a phone/mp4 player, get the phone instead. The touch is still a solid investment if you already have a phone.
