 The pocket computer we've been promised for years June 3, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The iPod touch is the Internet computer in your pocket the futurists have been predicting for decades. I haven't jailbroken mine, and I anticipate the advanced functionality of the upcoming 2.0 software (due for release on June 9). But even today I use plenty of iPhone/iPod-ready web apps that do an amazing job.
The Safari web browser is the best web experience on a handheld ever.
I wish Mail let me bulk-delete messages. Deleting one by one is very tedious.
Synching using iTunes on a Mac is seamless, not a single problem yet.
I wish I could have afforded the 16Gb or 32Gb so I could carry more music, movies, and photos (not to mention the forthcoming applications) so if you have the cash, do it.

All the good things are same as covered earlier, but the new things that I want to add is -
(i) I tried and tested a couple of custom cables for viewing videos on TV, but it finally worked with Apple' original av cables only.
(ii) Also earlier if the wifi was switched on, and if your itouch was in sleep mode for entire night, then by morning time battery used to drained out, but this is no more true...your battery stays intact during sleep time!
Also purchased this case DLO HipCase Leather Folio for iPod touch (Black) from amazon.com, which fits perfectly.
Great product - but still needs a little work June 2, 2008

Well my 5G "iPod with video" finally gave out after 3 strong years so I decided to take advantage of Apple's 10% trade in deal and purchased the 8gb iPod Touch.
After spending about a week using the product I find that I am very pleased overall. There are so many improvements and new features with the Touch that it's difficult to list them all so I'll keep it to a few:
- The screen is huge and the resolution makes it absolutely gorgeous; displaying both album artwork and music videos is a sight to be seen. Very clean, very crisp picture.
- Menu system is very easy to use and navigate in and out of. At any point you can exit to the main screen with a simple touch. Forget having to press 'menu' 5 times like in previous generations.
- The WiFi feature is great and will automatically display found networks. This honestly is the single best reason for purchasing the device. I love being able to connect on the go.
Some places where improvement is needed:
- Simple things like turning up the volume are actually more difficult - especially true when driving. Instead of feeling your way with the click wheel you now have to look down at the device and move the slider for volume. In my experience I've had mixed results as usually I'm using my thumb to adjust the volume; just as often I've either paused or skipped to the next song on accident.
- The included USB 2.0 cable is a more compact design on the iPod data link side. For some reason Apple ditched the quick release tabs and now its somewhat difficult to disengage the cable. Not a big deal but annoying.
- The on screen keyboard is nice but can be difficult to use if you have larger fingers.
- Better integration with very common formats like WMA for media and .pdf are needed!!
- We need a built-in FM receiver. Seriously, this has been an option on the competition for years!
All in all I am very satisfied. I expect that anyone familiar with Apple products will find that they like the product. I also expect that considering my iPod Touch has flash memory instead of a HDD that longevity will be significantly improved.

Ok, well... the product was amazing,as expected, in full working order original packaging, and not a thing wrong with it.(that is the most important part, I was very pleased when it came) And, although it took a while to get the shipping started, leaving me with my accesories empty, but I would rather have slow shiping and a good product then it come the next day all banged up. I would trust this provider again.
Best media player around! June 1, 2008

The iPod touch is by far the most advnced, easy to use, and enjoyable mp3 player on the market. It not only plays music flawlessly, but the extras like internet connection, email, photos, and movies make this an incredibly useful gadget.
