    So what do we think of the iPod touch? There is no doubting the feature set and the range of possibilities on offer here, but without the mobile phone connection it is less useful whilst on the move. Coupled with the size it is beaten both on price and practicality as an MP3 player. However, there is also no doubting that the iPod touch has the wow factor in abundance and those who are lucky enough to always be within a Wi-Fi zone will really get the most out of what...

    The iPod Touch can do a lot of things--too much, even. It neglects audio and video playback, though, which is after all the main job of a portable media player. Read more

    This is one of the best iPods ever made -- seriously -- and it's definitely worth upgrading if you're using an old or basic MP3 player. But keep in mind that with all the new features, it could be too much for people just looking for a portable music player. Still, the design is better than ever and most of its features are miles ahead of the competition Read more

    I have had the apple iTouch 8GB for about 7 months now and I absolutery love it! It is stylish and very easy to use. You can listen to music, watch films, send e-mails, play games, etc etc. There are a lot of free great apps on app store which is brilliant. I give this little gadget 5 stars but the only thing that I do not like is that the fact it is easily scratched so you should definitely get an ipod case. I often hear people complaining about the sound quality... Read more

    This was one of the best buys I have ever had. I had an mp4 player before from a shopping channel that lasted for just over a year, then didn't want to work anymore. I could only download music on to it and make voice recordings!!!. I couldn't download videos or ebooks and the game on it was crap. The IPOD was extensively researched on many different sites including apple.com, as I was looking for all the above attributes. But, I ended up gaining a lot more for my... Read more

    Wonderful! I love this little beauty that's been with me for over an year now : an Apple iPod Touch 16 gb. Wow. The sound quality : unbelievable - i don't like listening to my music through other devices now. The lyrics can be seen actually on the screen so I can sing along and learn new songs quickly. The video quality : the cool video resolution shocked me ! It's so amazing! The notes : I maintain my diary in the notes application now and it's really wonderful. The... Read more
