 Beyond All Expectations! February 14, 2008
I Am Not A Geek (Chicago, IL USA)
142 out of 161 found this review helpful
First off, I ordered this on a Monday and it came on Wednesday....using free shipping. Wow! Thanks amazon.
Now onto the product....simple, sleek, amazing. Set up out of the box could not have been easier. Make sure you have the most updated version of itunes onyour computer, plug in the USB cord and you're up and running. Give it a full 3-4 hour charge first time through. Load up your music, pictures, videos. The software is simplicty defined. If you can use a toaster over, you can use this device. The wi-fi immediatley found my home network (and my neighbor's). Setting up email: simple. Surfing the web: simple. And, oh yeah, using it to listen to music (ostensibly what it is for): a lifting and beautiful experience.
Might as well buy this newer version with the new software loaded. With amazon's discount, it only a few dollars more than the old version without the upgrade after you pay for it and upload it youself. Save yourself the hassle and get the new version.
So you know, this thing will get fingerprinted fast. I got a Griffin leather hard shell case with a protective screen cover for about $20.00. A bit pricey but worth it to protect your investment.
I went with the 8 gig verion for a few reasons and it's more than enough space. I am a music nut...I loaded it with more music that I can digest in two weeks and there's still 3 gigs free. Sure I'll eventually fill it (I guess...) but I really don't mind swapping music out for fresh music thereby making my ipod new and fresh again. I also thought if I somehow lose the thing, I'd be out a lot more money with the 16 or 32 gig version. But honestly, it's more than enough space for me.
The one caveat I discovered the hard way: shut off the wi-fi connection when you're not using it. I charged it up, thought I turned it off, and then went to bed. In the morning, the battery was fully drained. Instead of turning off, I only put the unit to sleep. (To turn off, you need to press and hold the sleep button until the power off slider comes on-screen and you turn it off fully.) And while it was in sleep mode with the wi-fi still on, it kept checking my email, etc, thus draining the battery. Just turn off wi-fi when you're not using it and you're battery will keep running.
Concluding, I love this thing, and don't know how I got by without it.
iPod Touch replaced my PDA February 9, 2008
Richard Jacobson (New Berlin, WI USA)
93 out of 104 found this review helpful
For those who may be interested in acquiring an iPod Touch as a replacement for a PDA, I have found it to be quite useful. The primary function used in this regard is syncing with Microsoft Outlook, which works flawlessly. Now I can check appointments and find those phone numbers for early morning conference calls without waiting 10 minutes for my laptop to boot up.
The new software improves the functionality by adding the notes capability, and I even find myself frequently viewing video podcasts - something I never thought I would use.
The most important functions for me in a portable device are calendar, music, notes, photos, and Audible book playback, all of which this iPod handles very nicely. I have also used the maps feature for driving directions - load it up while on the home WiFi network, then the directions are retained for reference - in a much more useful format than if you print out the directions on Google. Just bring along a navigator, as I would not recommend trying to read the iPod while driving. The same applies to paper maps, of course.
On the downside, the battery life has not been great - less than two hours if actively using WiFi.
Best iPod to date February 14, 2008
Nix Cadavre (Michigan, USA)
82 out of 99 found this review helpful
I am a former owner of pretty much every iPod out there, except a few (never had a mini, and never bothered with the first-gen nano and it's scratches). I have owned the 8GB iPod Touch, and the 16GB iPod Touch, and I can attest that this new model with 32GB is technically not very different from the other models.
However, it does benefit from being produced later in the iPod Touch's life, and therefore doesn't have some of the problems that hit me as an early adopter of the other two versions, like the infamous "negative blacks" issue. Nope, with this model, all the problems have been addressed, and what you get is the iPod Touch the way it was meant to be.
For me, the 32GB was a must. The 8GB was too small for me. How can you have such a great screen and such a limited capacity to store movies? The 16GB was better, but I was still finding myself shifting songs around in various smart playlists in order to fit my 30GB music library on the iPod Touch along with my bookmarks, contacts, calendars, photos, and a few television shows and movies. It was always a struggle to make it all fit.
Finally, the introduction of a 32GB model has solved all my problems. I can fit ALL my bookmarks, calendars, photos, television shows, podcasts, audiobooks, and quite a few movies on the 32GB iPod Touch, and I still have enough room for most of my music and some music videos. When the Software Development Kit goes out to third parties this month, and new programs start to appear for the iPod touch, I'll have sufficient space to be able to use them.
A lot of reviewers approach the iPod Touch as if it's an iPhone that is "missing" some things. That's not entirely fair, because this IS an iPod. It functions well as an iPod, and does everything the iPod should do. It plays music well. It plays videos well. It stores a lot of media files in a small space.
Look at this more as an iPod "plus" instead of as an iPhone "minus." You get Internet, Mail, Yahoo! Stocks, Yahoo! Weather, World Clock, Stopwatch, Alarm Clock, Calendar, Notes, Yahoo! Maps, Contacts, iTunes, YouTube direct, Calculator, Photos, Music, Videos, and more. That's a lot to pack in an iPod!
As with all products, the advertised amount of space is not the actual amount available. Formatted, with the software on the iPod Touch, you'll have about 30GB to use. Compare this to the 30GB iPod fifth generation, and you see what a bargain this is. Even compared to the current iPod Classic with 80GB, this is a pretty good deal, because the Classic isn't going to let you check your email, surf to your favorite web sites, or enter contacts or notes when you're on-the-go.
Apple won't call this a PDA, but it essentially is one. This is the spiritual successor to the Newton, and it's better in every way. This is the PDA for people who aren't necessarily "businesspeople" but still want something akin to a pocket-sized computer.
I think of it this way: For the price you can get a more full-featured Mac mini, which also runs OS X and can do more things with more programs (for now), but lacks a screen and input device, and isn't portable. Or you can get the 32GB iPod Touch, which does have a screen and a rather innovative input device, and does a lot of the things you'd probably do with your Mac mini every day.
This is a Mac OS X computer in your pocket. Dig it!
Now, I'll be fair and list a few of the negatives of this item. It's not *perfect* yet, but it's close.
First of all, I really wish it had a built-in speaker. Nothing fancy, but just enough to listen to YouTube videos and Audiobooks on the go. It's a pain to get out headphones to use those features. I've solved the problem by using a portable mini-speaker.
The shiny metal back scratches too easily. I don't know why Apple keeps using it, either. For the 2nd generation iPod nano, they went to a full-body brushed aluminum casing, and it was brilliant! It resisted scratches and was pretty sturdy. This generation, Apple has gone back to the shiny back that scratches like its made of frozen butter. They almost necessitate getting a case by doing this.
Finally, since it's Wi-Fi and not EDGE, (it's not an iPhone!) you're limited in which applications you can use when you're out and about. For me it's not a problem; My town's pretty well wired. Those who live in the middle of nowhere, the country, the desert, or somewhere that Wi-Fi is not common may want to avoid the iPod Touch and just get the iPhone instead. You need EDGE if you don't have a lot of Wi-Fi around. Half of the features on this device REQUIRE having Wi-Fi.
Aside from those things, this thing works as intended, and it does it with style and ease of use. I highly recommend it!
I do suggest that if you're going to get this iPod, that you protect it with a decent case (I suggest the Elan Form, DLO Jam Jacket, or the DLO VideoShell) and a good screen protector (I suggest either Invisible Shield or Best Skins Ever). The screen is scratch-resistant, but the casing can get dinged up and you'd be best just covering the device with a little polycarbonate to make it less likely you'll have an ugly iPod in a few months of residing in your pocket.
Personally, I think this is the best iPod ever... And as I said, I've had most of them!
UPDATE 08/2008:
With the addition of the App Store on iTunes, this iPod has become the best portable device I've ever owned. For those who don't want the added expense of an AT&T contract that comes with the iPhone, the iPod touch 32GB version is an awesome choice; More space than an iPhone, and no monthly fees, but access to the same software that makes the iPhone so useful. Now, even more than before, this is the 21st century sequel to Apple's Newton, and it's much, much better than the original Apple PDA.
Buy the current Model instead February 6, 2008

The current (older) 8GB model Amazon sells is only $254. You can buy the iPod software upgrade from Apple on their website for only $20. Total cost of $274.
The devices are the same, just this one comes preloaded with the software upgrade.
A new 32GB model is also available for those who need more space.
EDIT: As of 02-10-2008, Amazon has increased the price of the current 8GB model to $279. The software upgrade will costs $20. Do the math and see which model is cheaper after final total when you go to purchase as the price seems to flucuate daily.
Revolutionary Product! February 15, 2008
A. Stagg (Virgnia, USA)

I had never wanted an iPod until I received my Touch. It's a great device. It's an excellent MP3 and video player, but I've been MOST impressed with the WiFi internet browser and email utility. For the first time, Apple has produced a highly user-friendly and stable ultra-portable internet device. The best part about the Touch is that its an "instant on" device. If I'm watching television or having a discussion and want to look up a reference, I push the button and I'm immediately able to access my home wireless network. The touch screen use of gestures to zoom in and out means that I can read the text, even though I wear glasses. My use of my home computer has dropped noticeably since I started using this device.
The 32GB size is perfect and will be more than sufficient for most people. Actually, for the majority of people, I think the 16GB version will suffice, but 32GB will leave you plenty of room to grow as the number of applications available to the device continues to grow.
If it were about 1.5x larger, it would be perfect as a portable internet tool. The touchscreen keyboard function works great, but its just a little too small for adult fingers. However, it's a perfect size for a portable media player. The other feature missing is a flash player for the internet browser, but rumor says that one will be released soon. The 32GB iPod Touch is well worth purchasing and I can't wait to see the continued evolution of this product!
