  3. Apple iPod touch 3G Review

    Apple surprised many people at their recent iPod launch event by focusing on the iPod nano rather than their flagship touchscreen PMP, the iPod touch .  Still, they saved a little magic for the third-generation model, including a lower starting price and some games-focused speed boosts higher up in the range.  Does the iPod touch 3G stay ahead of the pack, or did Apple miss a trick by not tweaking further?  Check out our review after the cut.

    There are few major changes from last year's touch: The best iPod around gets a speed boost, a capacity increase, a lower price tag, and some modest Genius feature improvements. One thing remains the same: The competition is still lagging. Read more

    It did not come with easy direction. The little directions are not easy to read since the print was extra etra small print. It should have been easier to figure out since I am somewhat techie. Although I enjoy it, I would not buy it another one. Read more
