Ipod Touch

Strengths: -Great User Interface -WIFI -Internet, email - Good Built

Weakness: - Recessed headphone jack

All in all, this is a great device. I love how intuitive and easy to use it is. The way this handles pictures, music, video, and everything else is just great. One of the best things about the Ipod Touch is that it can browse the internet; the great thing is, it can zoom in on anything just right for you to read it.

Music, Internet, Email, Maps, what more could you...

Strengths: Great intuitive interface, wi-fi

Weakness: You can't download podcasts directly from itouch. Impossible to control 'blind' like you can other ipods.

The iTouch easily connects to wireless networks, even with WEP encryption. I use it on my encrypted network at home, at school, and on public networks just about everywhere else I go. Battery life is quite good if you don't use wireless too much (even better if you turn it off completely). The interface is so intuitive, anyone can use it right out of the box! This is probably the only ipod that...

Touching is believing!

Strengths: gorgeous screen, wifi, you tube.

Weakness: capacity

If your considering buying the touch then i hope this helps you make up your mind. The Good - First off, there are NO more screen defects. those were all worked out in earlier weeks of production. This is probably the first ipod made that is woth watching a movie on. The screen really is gorgeous and the touch interface is worth all the hoopla. Doing almost anything on this ipod is fun, because...

Ipod Touch

Strengths: Slim design, easy to use, great menus

Weakness: Short battery life. Trouble connecting to my wireless router that is encrypted.

This is the best ipod yet. It's display is crystal clear. The menus are easy to use. I was able to sync my old songs from my previous ipod without any problems. The only issue I have is connecting to my wireless router for Wi-fi. My router is encrypted but I do not want to decrypt it to pick up the signal since others in my area can catch my signal. I'm sure there is a way around this but I...

iPod Touch

Strengths: The great iPhone interface without having to buy the iPhone (or switch to AT&T for wireless)

Weakness: Battery only lasts a few hours when using device to browse the web.

Bought this great little gadget intent to get a web browser with an added MP3 player. So far, the device is a joy to use at home and at work. It is heavier than it looks but not too much to hold (I think it weighs more than you'd expect because the screen is glass instead of plastic). This device is as thin as an iPod Nano but otherwise roughly the dimensions of a regular iPod or an iPhone. The...

Finally, a TRUE video iPod.

Strengths: Full 3.5" Color LCD Touchscreen, WiFi for Internet and iTunes, Easy setup, Nice looking product.

Weakness: Short Battery life for video playback, no dock or charger included, gets slightly warm after long use.

Finally a true of video iPod. This unit is exactly like the iPhone, just without the phone, and a few other features. One nice thing about the iPod Touch v.s. the iPhone is that the headphone jack is not recessed. This is nice because you can use any standard earphones, and not just the ones that Apple provides. The unit has WiFi so you can connect to the internet just like the iPhone. You can...

An iPhone without the phone

Strengths: iPod and Browser in one device

Weakness: Limited memory, few instructions, fingerprints, no power adapter.

If you want the coolest iPod yet check out the Apple iPod touch. This radical design lets you listen to your music as well as browse the internet among other features. Apple has taken the iPhone and removed the telecommunication capabilities. It is thinner than the iPhone, but has many of its functions. It can play music from iTunes or your CDs. It is a web browswer as well (as long as you have...

Ipod Touch 8 GB MP3 Player

Strengths: Touchscreen interface, Bigger Screen than Classic Ipods for watching movies, Wifi Capability

Weakness: Limited memory capacity, Can't play many video formats

Here's my initial thoughts on the new Ipod Touch Player. I love the new interface, but it does take a little time to get used to not having the touch sensitive wheel. The ability to download songs from any Wifi location is a nice perk as well, although no song sharing is a bummer. The screen is really nice and a major upgrade when watching movies in widescreen on the unit. The unit itself is very...

ipod Touch

Strengths: WIFI Capability, Very Good Screen, Excellent User Interface. Looks great.

Weakness: Battery Life and Charge Time. Great looking unit is very shinny and smudges are very apparent. No physical volume control.

First, I had read most of the reviews about the new ipod Touch before buying. Most of the negative reviews were about the ipod Touch not being as good a music player as past ipods and I would have to agree. The point that one must consider is that this ipod offers so much more than previous ipod models. First, the screen is top notch and large enough to be able to enjoy a videos. WIFI...

Best Toy of 2007

Strengths: Innovation to the Extreme

Weakness: None

I absolutely LOVE this thing. I got it the day they came out, having played with the demo model in the Apple Store until my fingers hurt. The interface is pure GENIOUS. Apple at it's BEST.
