This is the second Apple iPod touch I've personally owned. (5th in my family) I love it. If you've never used an Apple iPod touch or iPhone, you will be blown away by what all you can do from it. Music, books, banking, google, even Netflix, just to name a few things this little machine can do. The best part is that Apple makes it more user friendly that anyone else. I have also owned a Microsoft Zune. (2 in my family) Compared to Zune, the Touch is faster, easier to use, and Itunes has a much wider variety to purchase from than Microsoft. I had the Zune first, but got very frustrated with it. The only plus I would give the Zune over the Touch is durablility. Now my dislikes, the Apple iPod touch is too fragile and frequently has quirks that needs fixing if it gets dropped or gets even damp, not submerged, in liquid. But if taken care of they work great. So I would not spend a lot of money on it to give to a child. Also, it is tougher to monitor what a child does with it than on a computer. It's not just a toy, if it is in range of a wireless signal, it does have access to the internet and all the good (and bad) things it has to offer. But it is such a cool gadget that does so very many things, I can not keep away from it. But beware of buying used ones from individuals, they usually always have problems. The refurbished ones from the manufacturers are better. They do try to make sure all the bugs have been worked out.Vollständige Rezension lesen
For some reason, I felt compelled to upgrade to the newest iPod touch version. One reason was for a little more storage for music. The very thing that the touch versions lack obviously is storage. The 32 gb ups the ante a little, allowing for somewhere close to 7,000 songs now, but still can't hold a candle to the 160 gb Classic iPod. Sadly enough, they've taken that off the market. Hopefully mine will last me for awhile, since I've barely scratched the surface with my CD collection. Anyway, back to the iPod touch. The bells and whistles are still there. Even the first generation users can enjoy the Genius function with a simple software upgrade. The addition of the iPhone speaker and left side volume buttons was small, but I guess the apps demand it especially in game mode and sharing with friends. But these are very small improvements upon the basic design of the unit. Making it sleeker and thinner doesn't really do much more than make it easier to pack in a pocket, and probably that much easier to steal... :( Despite that, having the internet in your pocket is still a big plus for me. I probably won't spring for an iPhone anytime soon since I'm happy with our present cellphone carrier here, so this is the next best thing. Apple still hasn't figured out how to get around the lack of Flash support. YouTube works great on the unit, so why can't the Flash plugins work? Guess that'll be cleared up down the road on a much more powerful iPod, huh? Anyway, the touch is nice for a space saving internet access device, but for storing music and video, the other bells and whistles dominate much of the space needed for storage, so one outweighs the other. If you love apps and youtube, you'll love the ipod touch. Otherwise, look for storage with the iPod 120 gb classic.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The iPod Touch is a great little device that I've come to love. It's exterior design is worthy of envy from designers and strangers. The device is mainly controlled by it's glass-covered touch screen, with four buttons on the unit: a sleep/power button, 'home' button, and a volume rocker. The software also has a touch of class, featuring a very simple user-interface. It's very easy to read text, view pictures, and watch movies off the iPod Touch. Navigating through the devices various applications is fairly simple, and a unified user-interface makes each application behave as you'd expect. There are a few things that are a problem though. Typing on the unit is fairly difficult when the unit is held horizontally. Most applications don't support landscaping mode, so the keypad that is utilized in a horizontal position is quite small. Fortunately, the iPod Touch does have wonderful word recognition, which makes typos less of a problem. The other is that the mirror-polished back is extremely prone to scratches. I use a Griffin iClear hard case on my iPod Touch, which hugs the unit very tightly. If dust gets between the case and the chrome trim or back or the unit, the pressure of the iClear case will cause the dust to scratch chrome. This is more of a cosmetic issue than anything else, but it's still annoying when you're trying to keep the unit in pristine condition. With the latest iPod Touch firmware, users have access to the App Store, which provides hundreds of free and pay applications for users to download. These applications range from games to productivity, from useless to useful. I find myself checking the App Store fairly often for new apps that will simplify my life, or just provide a little entertainment. All in all, I'd have to say that the iPod Touch is a great multi-purpose device. If you want something that you can use to watch movies, read e-books, listen to music, and surf the web easily and with great quality, then this should be high on your list.Vollständige Rezension lesen
My review would be a full Excellent, except for one thing. Apple included almost every productivity app that I use except for a Task list. Why? I can't imagine. I've had to buy and try 3 different applications to get something like I need. The good news is that, for a few schekels, I'm good to go. Otherwise, the iPod touch is way cool. I love the music player, email, contacts and all the other apps that come with it; and add to that the gozillions of inexpensive or free apps that you can get and you have a tool/toy that you can't live without. Want a game to pass the time? Zip, it's yours. Need to record a practice session with the band? A couple of dollars and you're mic'd and ready (although a microphone would have been a nice-to-have, but there would have been a size compromise that I agree is not worth it--so many cute mic's out there for chump change, and the sound quality isn't have bad. Synchronizes lickedy-split, even with MS Outlook. An excellent product as long as you're willing to find the right Task program (Toodledo suits my needs the best so far).Vollständige Rezension lesen
This device is great for travel entertainment. The number of quality games is amazing, though some can get expensive. The storage capacity is good for handling a large volume of music with a few videos and plenty of pictures to bore the people who are waiting with you. It would be good if there were more business applications that would allow you to use as a PDA as well. That would really make this excellent because you could do away with one of your devices. There is a lot of software available including business applications. Most of them have to be purchased and don't work with Micro Soft application well if at all,e.g.,no way to work with an Excell worksheet. You can read an Excell worksheet, however. The nightstand clock we downloaded works better than any travel clock and we added a flashlight program that is really handy. You can add safety programs like first aide advice and S.O.S flashing if stranded. The GPS is really handy for many things, but, you have to have Wi-Fi signal available and that is not as easy as you might think it would be. The built in maps are just great for travel and around town. It uses Google maps via Wi-Fi, but stores the map(s) to be used off line. There are so many ways this device can be used other than just entertainment and I'm sure many more programs will come. It is fun and very easy to carry. The screen size is a good compromise between view ability and potability. It would be nice if there were a stand so you didn't have to hold it on the plane. It would be a much better travel companion if it had at least an 8mp camera built in it. It is easier than it seems to manage memory after you realize most of it is done automatically,i.e.,the music list will delete any music taken out on your base computer. This is not explained in the manual, but customer service can help you set-up two files instead of one. We would caution you to really watch how you use this device. It can become very expensive fast. If you buy your music from iTunes you will pay per song. Movies can be rented and that is nice. The programs can get expensive. When we registered our device the registration process told us we were entitled to a free upgrade to our software. We agreed, but were told we had the latest version of the software. That was nice to know. We were then charged $9.97 for a software upgrade we didn't get or need. We still haven't been able to find who to contact or how to dispute this charge. Fortunately we use American Express and they are great about removing incorrect charges. Also, watch using the Wi'Fi as some people charge to use their signal as found out while walking around South Beach Miami where we were charged $10 for 20 minutes of use. The problem with the way the charges are made is that they go directly to your credit card with out informing you that you are about to make a charge. Most will inform you ahead of time that there is a charge, but not all. Over all we are disappointed that a few key applications like Excell don't work, but other than that we are very happy and highly recommend this device. Do get as much memory as you can afford, especially if you want to watch movies.Vollständige Rezension lesen
