    The Touch is certainly an amazing piece of technology. Mobile Safari is the best portable Web browser around, Cover Flow works great on a device with limited storage capacity, and the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store is extremely slick for a first-generation product. Read more

    The inclusion of Mail, Stocks, Maps, Weather, and Notes has transformed the iPod touch. Now, not only is it a solid and attractive portable media player, but, finally, a darned fine Internet communications device as well. The 32GB model may well be worth a look if you’ve held off on buying a touch. Read more

    Even with the small complaints it is clear that the iPod Touch is a really fine MP3-player. The new touch screen interface works very well and feels natural to use pretty fast. The screen also is extremely nice and perfect for watching videos on. If you only plan on listening to music though the price for the 16 GB’s (~$330 ) is far too high compared to the other iPod’s with 80 GB or more storage. In fact, if you watch only some video the smaller screen of the iPod C... Read more

    I am computer literate but not a techie and I have no desire to have a cell phone as they impress me as the world's most intrusive devices. However, as a constant traveler, I like being in touch without hauling a computer around. Voila! The perfect device. I have access, movies and music for lon g flights, and look like part of the 21st century without the annoyance of a phone. If only more places provided a wireless network! Big hotels seem to be the greediest now bu... Read more

    This is the ultimate iPod, and a must-buy for music lovers. I absolutely love it; what a great product. The touchscreen works very well. The scrolling and 'pinching' features are really cool. The other features such as Calendar, Contacts, and Photos work great. Overall, this is an amazing device, which indeed make your life more fun! Read more
