daughter loves it [Posted on 2008-06-27]
got this 4 my daughter and she loves it one of the cool things is that you can get internet on it i didnt know that when i got it 4 her. she loves it
very cool but be prepared to buy other neccesities for it! [Posted on 2008-06-28]
This is my first Apple product. I used to own a Creative Zen (very cool device) but I cracked the screen and needed a new mp3/video player.
I was planning on spending $150 for another 8 gig Zen but I had some extra cash and decided to try this.
This device is very cool. The touch screen is nice (but gets dirty easily) I had to buy some clear covers (.50 each) and you definitely need a case. I recommend the DLO HipCase Leather Folio for iPod touch. Great case.
The biggest problem I find with this device is iTunes.
iTunes sucks.
With my Zen I could dump anything on to my device. Dealing with iTunes is a headache.
Unfortunately you pretty much have to use itunes unless you want to jump through a 1000 hoops.
But the product is great. I recommend it. Highly.

I have to recharge the battery evey 4hrs after less than 40 min. talking time, and the WiFi is real slow. I CALL THIS A DESIGN WITH NO COMMON SENSE. Do not buy it yet! Wait until Apple fix the battery major problem first hand.

I was hesitant at first as I never had an "iPod" of any kind before. Needless to say, after I got my iPod Touch, now I am saying how did I ever get by without one? THIS IS A TRULY GREAT MOBILE DEVICE!
THis is especially true with the latest firmware upgrade (V2.0) for only 10 bucks and all the new applications available from the Apple iTunes store, many of which are actually pretty good and absolutely FREE!
The only thing that would be even better is of course, the iPhone itself. I actually don't need another cell phone, but the Touch would certainly be immensely more "mobile" if I had access to the Internet from anywhere all the time. This is its main limitation. You can only use it wirelessly if you are close to a WAP, or a home network with wifi access. Unfortunately, the places I go when I am out and about do not have (free) public access to the Internet. Not even where I work, and that's a real BUMMER. If I went out to eat a McDonald's everyday, or a Starbucks, that would help solve the problem.
Also, there are a lot of new iPhone apps which an iPod Touch user can use too, but without a built in audio output speaker (other than a simple "beeper"), nor a built in camera, some of these programs are less functional. For example, who wants to wear earphones to play a casual video game, or social network without being able to post photos in real time.
Nevertheless, the iPod Touch is plenty useful enough for many other applications, even if you are just sitting at home watching TV while check your emails or playing your favorite game during a commercial.
You can also use a Touch (with wifi access) to do text messages. Check out a webapp called Meebos.com for that, cause there Apple does not (yet) support a native SMS other than the one built in to the iPhone, but not available on the Touch. AIM is supported as a free app downloadable from the iTunes store, but all my contacts are using Yahoo or Windows Live. Thankfully, Meebos has those two covered.
Unless you want to download tons of music and movies, I think 16GB si adequate. However, 100 bucks extra to double the memory capacity is probably worth it to keep everything stored in your Touch without ever having to delete any files to make space for others.
Like the iPhone, the Touch's color graphics 3.5" hires touch screen and accelerometer are VERY NICE features! Many of the latest and greatest apps take good advantage of these features.
I recommend getting a couple of extra chargers; one for your car or at work to have handy. Under heavy use, the battery will need frequent recharges. After several hours of constant use, it will need to be recharged, but you can still use it while it is recharging.
Lastly, the retail marketplace has started selling new release DVD movies with "digital" copies, some of which are compatible with the iPod Touch (and iPhone). These new DVDs usually cost a couple bucks more, but if you want to watch movies on a mobile device (while wearing a set of headphones), you now have that option with certain movies (no HDDVD or BluRay formats though).
Definitely a useful, and handy mobile device to have for the 21st century! High Recommended!!!
