My iPod Touch has quickly become one of the items I grab when I leave the house. The functionality extends far beyond playing music and that is what has made this version of the iPod popular with myself and others. After all, it's the best selling iPod ever. Consumers can think of the iPod Touch as a smartphone with the phone capabilities (although, some generations are capable of using a talk app from Apple to communicate via Wi-Fi with other iPod and iPhone users). the iPod Touch relies on iTunes to transfer music and other files; however, the user can set up Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet, iTunes store and download apps, including games, blogging programs, aqnd organizing tools. A handful of apps are already included on the player (weather, calculator, contacts, mail et cetera) and are not removable, which is a small downfall of the player. iPod Touch supports audio and video content, has a photo album and uses the cover art model of newer iPod classics. The Home button on the face of the player can be configured and a native search function makes it ridiculously easy to find anything on the player. The iPod Touch is equipped with a hold button, which is a must given the touch technology, and even features a unique feature where the user can shuffle through songs simply by shaking the player. My biggest complaint is the location of the headphone jack (although there is also an internal speaker). It's on the bottom and painfully awkward.
My brother bought me this on my birthday and it was lust at first sight!!
It's easy to navigate through, add music to and the sound is terrific. That's just grazing the service of this versatile toy! You can watch movies, browse the web, check your emails, go on youtube (or chickadvisor!) and just have tons of fun. You can visit the Apple shop on this device and download tons of fun free applications and games.
The only bit of improvement I would do on this is I would allow for regular drag/drop music / videos onto the device as you would onto a regular mp3/mp4 player instead of doing so via iTunes. Then again, by doing it through iTunes you're ensuring that you're not wasting space by copying multiple copies of the same file into different 'playlists' (similar to a folder in windows but not quite)..so maybe i wouldn't change a thing! :-)
It's an expensive toy, but in my opinion, well worth the money.
The up front cost may scare you a little. Really though I haven't paid for an app since last July and I couldn't see myself ever living without it. You have the ability to have it as a phone/police scanner/log book/mp3 player/games/ just about anything you can think of!
I can't go anywhere without my iPod Touch! I really love how you can play games and do things on it rather than only listen to music.
Tip: Always update your iPod whenever one comes out. I didn't do any updates for a while and my Touch got a little messed up. Also, I think you can do much more with it too if you buy a set of ear phones with the mic. Of course that's depending what you use your touch for :)
I LOVE my iPod touch!!! I have no idea how I survived with my tiny 3rd gen iPod nano. It was absolutely worth the investment. I purchased the iPod about a year ago and it is still working perfectly. The aps are very fun and the WiFi comes in handy. LOVE IT!
I love my itouch! I can listen to my music, download apps, surf the internet, check my email, check the weather, play games, store my contacts, and more! The only downside is that the battery doesn't last long if you use it alot. Other than that, I love everything about it.
I have wanted an iphone forever, but have a contract still with verizon. While the ipod touch can't do quite as much as an iphone, it is still awesome! More than just a music player, it can play movies, video games, apps and more!!
We bought our oldest daughter an ipod touch for Christmas last year. She loves it, i love it, our younger daughter loves it! It's an amazing little gadget with a ton of funapplications to download. We have a lot of games on it now.. everything from word games to racing games to puzzles to educational/tutoring games.
Not tomention the internet access! How cool is that?? The kids even have grama using it to check her lottery numbers and bingo times!LOL
It has something for everyone in the family to enjoy. The only problem we have is sharing! ;)
I adore my iPod Touch. I don't know what my life would be like without it. I can do everything on it. Manage My banking account. Check up on the news weather and more. It is super convenient and worth the price that I paid for it. I recommend it to every busy person out there that needs their life, music, and more all in one convenient handheld device.
Don't buy this. It is crack. It will take over your life and you will spend so much time at the app store, that weeks will pass before you notice that you haven't bathed. Your relationships will suffer. There will be permanent indentation in your hand from where you hold the IPOD (constantly). These should come with a warning!
