2G 16gb. Awesome little toy, so many things you can do with it. Many apps to try and buy most for a reasonable price. Great for share videos and photos with friends and family. Beats carrying around a photo album. Fits into your pocket so you can take it anywhere. You can fill time waiting for appointments by playing games. Lots of fun

My iPod was my life for quite a while. I didn't have a computer, so I used it for all my entertainment needs. It was on constantly because I used it for music, video, gaming, and internet daily that the flash died, luckily under warranty :)

I LOVE my ipod touch. Since I'm not with AT&T, I can't have an iPhone, but this is the next best thing. It does pretty much everything except make phone calls and mow my lawn. If only it could duplicate itself, then my husband and I wouldn't fight over who gets custody when one of us goes on a business trip!
Its interface is intuitive and easy to use - so easy, my 2 year old goddaughter can use it to play her favorite games.

Great product, occasionally glitchy

Created by guyinlaca on Mar 11, 2010

Ownership period: more than 1 year.
I've had this device for over a year, and I love the wifi, free apps, and ease of use. It's very functional overall, and definitely high quality. The touch screen is responsive, the sound quality is great.

My real complaints are:
-The proprietary charge/sync port requires expensive chargers and many generics simply won't work
-There is no way to fix a locked up application without resetting the settings for the entire device.
-Every time there is a sizable software update, Apple charges for it

Bottom line, if you want wi-fi, this is probably the best you can find, but if you're just looking for a simple MP3 player with good sound, Sony and SanDisk models pretty much do the same thing, at half the cost.

iPod Touch Helps Transition from iPhone

Created by Geolama on Feb 22, 2010

Ownership period: less than 3 months.
I had an opportunity to get an iPod Touch 8GB for practically nothing. And I will be transitioning off my iPhone in October 2010, I thought what better way to have most of the iPhone functionality for multimedia until my DROID's Android OS supported more audio and video codes. And I must say that I have not been disappointed. My wife has a first generation iPod Touch and hers doesn't stack up.

I like the iPod Touch's battery sipping compared to the battery sucking of the iPhone: the iPod only needs charging every three or four days where as the iPhone must charged at least once during the day and always at night.

I have been able to use most of my iPhone apps on the Touch and understand that some of them require the GPS capability of the iPhone and for those I already have or soon will have the equivalent on my DROID (especially Inrix's Traffic! Pro).

Apple iPod Touch is thin, smooth and very lightweight. Powerful (has a cpu with more Mhz than iPhone), and more ram free (no services for phone e data transfer) is the best portable game console.

You have all the Pros of iPhone without any Cons (if you want to take with you also a phone)

Well, I think we all remember back to that time when the iPhone was becoming a very huge deal, and several Verizon customers, including myself, were filled with envy, and probably drowning in our own drool. It was only a matter of time before Apple succumbed to our deepest desires and released the Ipod Touch.

Hear that? It's called the "IPOD touch" NOT the "iTouch" as I've so frequently heard it been referred to. It disgusts me. But enough of that, on to the review... ok, I may have lied, I'm mostly done typing now, and I think I'll just list the Pros and Cons.

  • is that an iPod Touch?" "yess" "ohhhhh
  • I thought you had 2 phones or something"
  • Cons

  • I'd say it's entirely over-rated. fun

its ok i guess. its big screen is nice for watching videos. slim compared to the ipod. lacks a camera. for 1st and 2nd gen ipod needs updated in order to play or run newer, better apps or games. has a nike+ipod that doesnt work with my nikes that i got, ontop of that you cant run with it without having to hold on to it, are band suck for it. i cant got to the gym without having to scratch it. i dont recemmend this to anyone.. if anything just get a ipod shuffle if you plan on just listening to music while working out.. other than that... its a waste..

I really love my Touch! It is really nice and very easy to use. I have the 16GB model and it holds most of the music I regularly listen to, as well as a few movies with room to spare. I opted to upgrade to OS3, which I love. The only thing I would love to have is an FM radio. (And I am pretty sure that the next gen will include one. But I will not get a new one just for a radio.)

Almost Perfect

For under $200 you can basically get a mobile computer, gaming device, mp3 player and video player. How can you beat that. There is not much that you cant do with this thing. If only the internet browser would ever be flash comparable, it would be unbeatable. You could have almost all of the web in your palm. If Adobe and Apple can ever reach an agreement, I think it will set apple in to a class of its own again. Right now other devices are really gaining ground. Someday I think Apple will have too give in, or they will left behind in the dust. But other than that its hard to beat the value.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Created by alewjr on Feb 05, 2010

Ownership period: less than 1 year.
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.
