What's not so great: Battery life on wifi

"Movies, pictures, music, internet, games, etc........ This is the best entertainment device I have ever used. I'm very impressed with it's durability and ease of use. The only thing I feel that can be improved is it's use when wifi is being used but the good outweighs the negative by a long shot."

What's not so great: Nothing

"My first generation IPOD Touch just stopped working and I had it for only a few months. I bought the Best Buy extended warranty at the time of that purchase. When I brought it back to Best Buy they did the exchange but charged me about $80.00 more They don't sell the first generation ones anymore but its worth the price. The extended warranty is worth it. This IPOD touch is also easier to use."

"This is the best all around gadget ever! If you like music, games, internet, and email, you will love this iPod. At first I was skeptical about the touch screen. It turns out that the touch screen is very accurate and I don't have many complaints about using it. I never leave home without it!"

What's great about it: video quality. internet browsing and speed. playing games
What's not so great: Battery life, scratches easily, unable to delete applications without using Itunes software on PC

"Overall this product is great. i own the older model click wheel ipod, havent used it in years. i decided to get the touch because of the enhanced features such as internet browsing and the ability to play games. The video quality is amazing, ease of use is good. Downside to me is the battery life and with almost all handheld electronics today, the unit scratches very easily.

Like most people, i just wished you could get internet connectivity through a smartphone if you are not in a location where wifi is available.

I am extremely happy with this product and so far and would definitely reccomend it.

What's great about it: easy to switch songs or browse through music
What's not so great: have to be careful not to drop or get dirty

"this Ipod Touch is the best Ipod yet.. it is sufficient in finding music and has a great play list to find songs that are just like you favorite. if you love music you're going to love this Ipod. the games are very cool and the sliding lock on the screen is fast but isn't likely to accidentally unlock. i love this music player and would never give it up!"

IPod 16GB   07/20/2009
By Tash6682 from Toms River NJ

What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: Nothing!

"This an excellent product. This product is so easy to use and the quality is great. The feel (way it feels in your hand) is excellent, great form. I have only had one problem with this product and that is freezing. I recommended this product to my cousin and she bought it and loves it. This product is just like the iphone minus the phone. I love this product. I take it everywhere. I went on a trip to Cancun and used the ipod to keep me company on the plane, and it did its job. The price of this product is a bit much but the money to me is well worth it. I would recommend that you buy this at BestBuy because you can get a 2-year warranty with this and its excellent.""

What's great about it: Great Features, Easy to Use
What's not so great: The back scratches easily, water gets inside very easily

"The Apple Itouch is one of the best mp3 players on the market. Not only does it play music, it also plays video, and games. There's internet capability and the mobile browser is very easy to use. The many applications that you can download from itunes will keep you very busy throughout your day. The itouch is durable in the sense that the screen is scratch proof which prevents many scratches from being visible. Its a shame that they coudlnt do the same for the back because it scratches very easily. The downside to this device is that any little water that makes its way into it will cause it to malfunction. Once that happens the warranty is voided and it will not be replaced. You have to be very careful about the whereabouts of this device because your warranty may not be able to help you."

What's great about it: Tons of apps, fun to use.
What's not so great: Smudges easy, can obtain scratches.

"The iPod touch is a great media tool / time consumer.

This 16 gig version has plenty of space as long as your not trying to cram tons of movies / thousands upon thousands of songs. So if that's what you're looking for, you might want to get an iPod Classic with a much larger capacity. It's a bit pricey as well, but it's worth it.

With a few connectors (FM Transmitter, 3.5mm to RCA adapter) you can plug it in and play your music pretty much anywhere. The organization of the music in the menus makes it easy to find what you want to play.

Touch screen makes it a ton of fun to use. selecting and dragging things with no visible buttons is great.

And what really makes it in my opinion is the apps. Everything from, a virtual Zippo lighter, to Kindle Books, to video games, makes this an incredible portable media outlet.

Only issue is without a screen protector it smudges / scratches pretty easily, but that's easily taken care of.

What's great about it: Great quality, really cool features, large screen for movies
What's not so great: battery life is ok, scratches easy, only 16 gig

"This is by far the nicest MP3 player on the market. The iPod Touch puts the ability to run Apps, which are amazing, together with an iPod. If you have a large library of music then get an iPod classic, which is a bit cheaper for 120 gigs. This one is great if you want to surf the net (without a laptop) at wireless hotspots, run Apps for whatever you like to do, play games, play a smaller collection of music (couple thousand songs) and watch a few movies. I have about 10 movies and a few hundred songs on mine together with a LOT of Apps. Worth the money if thats what you want to do with it. You need to get a screen protector and a case to protect the iPod though, since it DOES scratch up easily, so factor those costs in. Also, you can only use iTunes to load songs on it."

What's great about it: Great apps at cheap prices, Kindle Reader app, great sound quality (headphone)
What's not so great: Nothing really.

"I was in the market for an MP3 player and also wanted to view movies, so I was torn between the 120Gb Classic iPod and the iPod Touch. Boy, am I glad I went with the iPod Touch. This device is a portable entertainment system.

There are apps available from the apps store that do almost anything you can imagine. There are great games available, I love the Kindle reader for getting books from Amazon, and I have downloaded a lot of useful utilities such as converters and the Directv scheduler. The unbelieveable thing is, a lot of the apps are free.

I love the built-in Wi-Fi that allows me to browse the Internet with the Safari browser that comes with the iPod. The device can also be configured to receive your e-mail, which is very handy if you travel.

If I had to list a downside, and this is a very minor issue, the speaker sound is not that great but is good for the game apps. I have read several reviews knocking the battery life. I think that the battery life is great for all of the functions built in to the unit. I can game, read, listen to music and browse the Internet for several hours before recharging. I also read about the case scratching easily, so I immediately purchased a hard shell and screen protector to eliminate the issue.

This is a great entertainment device. If you are considering an iPod, this is the best one available.
