Apple has once again, evolved the iPod to a higher level of functionality, usability and a whole lot of fun! The 32gb flash memory just makes a reliable device even more so and provides my mid-size music collection with a lot more room to grow. With the wonderful video capabilities I've been adding music videos and home videos too.
Three cheers for Apple and their interface expertise!!!

My Apple iPod June 12, 2008

Strengths: Solid construction, excellent design, click wheel a big improvement over the past touch-sensitive buttons, sound quality definitely good, small and slim.
Weaknesses: No FM radio, no built-in microphone for recording (have to purchase it separately, must pay $99 for new battery from Apple when old one loses its charge, only supports iTunes; NO WMA MUSIC! The COST $300+ (Ouch!!)
Summary:
When looking for an Mp3 player, I researched all the possible models to purchase. Since most of my Mp3's are CD based, not from an online store, I had no problem with gettting a WMA-only or iTunes-only player. After reading all the reviews possible, I came to the conclusion to purchase the #1 Mp3 player of all: ipod. While searching for the best deal out there my friend told me how he won one by refferring 5 friends for one of those online trials. While intrested I was like thanks but no thanks, well that was until he showed me his and the site showing it was from. Then I figured I'll give it a try since I knew well over 5 people I could talk into doing it. Most offers were a buck or free for a month anyway. Well anyway check it out for yourself because I'm a living testimony http://www.amazon.com. When I got it, it came in very nice packaging: a cube-shaped box, NOT one of those plastic packaging which requires a jackhammer to open. Upon opening the box, I quickly transferred the ipod into a silicone case that I bought at Best Buy. I highly recommend buying a case in which you can still have access to the screen and controls without taking out the ipod, because the silver back is very prone for fingerprints and scratches. After popping the ipod into the case, I plugged it into the wall charger for its initial charge. Apple has come up with the neatest idea: simply use the same firewire cable that you use to hook ipod to your computer and plug that into the small block that goes into your wall outlet. It is really neat. (In fact, you don't need the wall charger at all to charge ipod. It charges when you plug it into your computer too.) Upon charging, I plugged it into my pc. iTunes recognized it immediately and set about to move my music collection over to it. Once done, I plugged in my Sony earphones (I've yet to touch the included Apple ones) and turned on the device. VOILA! I couldn't believe the music quality. It was unbelievable. I tinkered with the equalizer settings and found that the "Hip Hop" setting works best for me, as it brings out the bass sound nicely. I really didn't want to go to bed that night, since I was having so much fun with the ipod.
My Bottom Line: After using ipod, now I know why it is so immensely popular. You will definitely not regret getting those 5 friends to sign up for those trial offers, I know I don't.

I am in fact writing this review on my new iPod and its fantastic. The 32 gb capacity is perfect for me, however I did find the price tag to be a little hefty. But overall I feel that this was a great investment and I have used the iPod everyday since. I highly recommend this product.

I really love my iPod touch. I like the big screen and being able to go online practically anywhere and use the REAL internet (you're not limited to mobile sites).
Typing took a bit getting used to, but once you do it's pretty fast.
The one thing that's easier with a regular iPod is listening in your car. I say this because when the screen gets dark to save battery, you have to unlock it first, which you do by sliding the graphical slider, and then you can change songs. You can't just press the forward button. So this requires you to look away from the road, which is unsafe, so you can't change songs until a light.
