 Best iPod (Until they made the 2nd Gen version!) February 14, 2008
Nix Cadavre (Michigan, USA)
89 out of 98 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.
UPDATE 01/2009:
I finally made the jump to the 2nd Generation iPod touch, and I have to say that it blows this one away. Apple made all the improvements that were needed: Built-in speaker, physical volume controls, lighter, thinner, and a hundred dollars cheaper, too! The built-in speaker alone makes this first-gen model sort of obsolete, in my opinion. If you're weighing your choices between grabbing an old model, or getting a 2G or later, I'd say pony up for the newer ones.
Couldn't be happier! March 8, 2008

So I coughed up the money and pulled the trigger on this beautiful piece of hardware. Amazon even threw in a free shuffle! The itouch works as advertised. Photos look great, and the music sounds fantastic through headphones or my car stereo. I can't get enough of flipping through my collection with cover flow with my finger! (For best sound quality, I configured my rips to be 320 kbps MP3s. I mean, you do have the space with the 32 gig model.)
I was a little wary of the web browser. I mean, how fast could it be, right? But once it has picked up a signal it's just about as fast as my DSL connection on my PC! That is the trick, though, picking up a signal. It piggy-backs off whatever signal happens to be around. It can be hit or miss.
The itouch interacts just fine with my PC. I got used to itunes pretty fast. Apple makes everything very intuitive and easy to use.
In short, this is one of the coolest things I have ever owned. Worth every penny!
A great remedy for those who like the iPhone but don't want to be forced into AT&T. May 7, 2008

I have wanted an iPhone since its inception. Only problem AT&T. Most of my family and friends are on Verizon and I don't feel I should have to switch carriers to have one.
Enter the iPod Touch 32 gb - with the exception of it being a phone with built in audio and edge network, the Ipod is smaller, has more storage space and does everything else the current 16 gb iPhone does.
Also, I like my cell phone much smaller.
My kids and I both love watching you tube, surfing the net with a real browser, watching videos, listening to music and all the touch features.
A bit pricey but highly recommended.
New League of iPod February 15, 2008
MQu (KY, USA (Previously Edinburgh, UK))
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Came as a Valentine's gift from my wife and to think I disliked Valentine's day... This iPod just takes mp3 to a whole different league. Its probably a good few months ahead of its time. Music capabilities are amazing and the least that this device offers. Video screen size is really very reasonable to realistically enjoy a full movie without straining your eyes and ears too much and with its portability and 'slimness', it becomes the most sought after player of any sort.
Combine this with very fast 'free' wireless internet that actually replaces use of your PC/Mac interent because of its amazing speed.... and there you have it, device of the future that does it all.
The screen scroll options and zoom in and out are out of this world, especially as you scroll with your fingers sliding across the screen. When less than enough momentum develops with the scroll, it bounces back into place ("Minority Report" kind of screen action). Also, how does it know to flip the screen sideways when you physically rotate the iPod....? Amazing!!!!
32GB is an extremely reasonable size and especially since it is designed for movie and TV show viewing. I really would highly recommmend this over the 16GB and definitely not the 8GB. By the time you load music and photos, you'd like to have enough for more than a movie or two at a time. 32GB is comfortable and to double your memory for an extra $100 is probably a very good investment. So glad they brought out the 32GB, perfect size.
I'd like to finish by finding flaws since it provides a more objective review but really, flaws are very limited here. Its too impressive to disappoint in any way. I guess I'd say the button size when surfing online can be a little uncomfortable if you have big fingers, in which case using a random stylus could certainly do the trick.
I love mine probably as my most prized possession right now.

I purchased this device primarily to use on a recent trip to Mexico. The resort we stayed had wireless internet so I was able to keep up with my mail. The screen really is a bit small but it is a worthwhile trade off to not have to carry a laptop. I also moved all my music and recorded books to the device and it holds everything. I like the controls a lot better than I did my old i-pod. If the I-phone ever becomes available with Verizon I am sure that my wife would upgrade. This is a very useful device.
