The ipod touch is a good gadget... i have the 8 gigabite third generation and it runs smooth.. I have to say i jailbreak it a lot because i like getting apps free... anyways... it doesn't work on the 3g however its still a good device.. i play all my music from it... with all its games like doodle jump it entertains for hours and it is a great movie player... however youtube at times can be glitchy... and you cannot customize anything but the lock screen wallpaper... It does have wifi though if u can find a hotspot though most are atnt or in the airports and charge so not usefull at that....

iPod touch Second Generation 8GB

I love everything about the ipod touch. As a verizon user I wanted and still want the iphone but can't force myself to switch to ATT. So I got the ipod touch and its everything the iphone is without the phone or the camera so I am very happy with it. This version changed the design to be more curved ala the iphone and added an internal speaker and volume rocker on the side which were much needed from the 1st gen ipod touch. Although the new zune HD is out, I still think there is no media player better than the ipod touch. I would recommend it to anyone.

Best iPod available

This iPod really is not comparable to any other iPod available. The app store and all else that you know it has makes it absolutly incredible. It is so great for what it does. If you dont want an iphone, or cant get one because of carrier reasons, this sure is the closest thing possible! I would recommend getting a phone for all your phone needs (i recommend DROID if you are on Verizon) and an ipod touch for all your other iPhone cravings.

love this thing

This is a very easy to use device. The touch screen is very responsive and very clear. I watch movies on my iPod frequently and the picture is great. I bought the optional A/V cord to hook up to my TV and the movies look great on it. The wi-fi is great for surfing the net but the lack of flash support is a hassle sometimes. The apps available are so varied that it has been impossible to get bored with them and the number of free apps is great. I have the second generation model and the built-in speaker is very handy for listening to music on the go. The speaker is not so great for movies, tv shows though.

The graphics are amazing and its really easy to use, within the first day I was having a one person party. I highly recommend this to those who love touch screens and iPods. It's perfect & better than the Zune.

Fun, Great Screen, Great Apps, A Little Restrictive

Created by alewjr on Feb 05, 2010

I've had a 1st Gen Ipod Touch for a little over 2 years now and has been a great multimedia device. The Apple style lends itself to make this device slick with icon movements, album scrolling (as long as you've downloaded album art or made it yourself), and crisp, clean video. Add in the internet browsing capability, email, and loads of apps and this device can easily keep you distracted for days. The only gripe that I really have is the lack of Flash player on the browser and the loss of music and video library (for some reason this has happened 3 times to me and is frustrating when I am not near my itunes to reload it). Otherwise, it does what it advertises and does it with style and competence.

I love this apple device, it is pretty much an iphone without paying $100 a month!
The many apps for the device sweeten the deal. It is very sturdy and works very well. I recommend this apple product above all other apple products.

Excellent hardware, very durable. The OS, not so much. Had many problems with the unit freezing up or completely shutting down. Unit had very poor battery life. Access to the app store was great, but not enough to justify the high price tag. Many less expensive units out there as good or better for much less money.

The iPod touch seems delicate but is a sturdy piece of equipment. It's just like the iPhone except the only way to access the internet is WiFi. The iPad supports 3G at a higher price point so its lack of 3G at a lower price is understandable.
