(not the iPhone) With the Apple iPod touch, Apple has married the iPhone's revolutionary multi-touch interface to their popular digital media player. So instead of a Click Wheel, you just use your fingers to flick through your music, photos, and video. Two fingers can be used in a pinching or spreading motion as well, which zooms in and out of photos and web pages. That's right, the iPod touch is the first iPod to offer web access. It does this via built-in Wi-Fi support. There's even a special iTunes Wi-Fi Store, so you can browse and purchase new music and video while you're on the road. The latest iPod touch now offers a suite of new applications, including email, maps, and handy widgets for weather, notes, and stocks. The new iPod touch also features a customizable home screen that lets you rearrange buttons and create your own Web Clips. Ports - Dock Connector & Stereo Minijack Connects to a PC or Mac through USB (using the dock connector) 802.11b/g Wi-Fi Wireless / Safari web browser Charge Time - about 3 hours (1.5 hours fast charge to 80% capacity) Audio Support - AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, & 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, & AIFF Photo Support - Syncs iPod-viewable photos in JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only), and PNG formats Video Support - H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in. m4v,. mp4, and. mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in. m4v,. mp4, and. mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in. m4v,. mp4, and. mov file formats Unit Dimension

Summary: the beauty and the beast
Comment: Great unit for older eyes and less nimble fingers...more user friendly.
I've owned the smaller nanos, and at 66 years young, found it a bit tedious.
Great games to download at a very reasonable price..easy to see on the bigger screen than nano, or classic. In color also.
Nice for showing off the family photos, as one can actually see this larger screen with ease.
However, get the 2nd generation itouch if you use a phone line modem.
It's virtually impossible to download the upgrade of software on a phone line.( a $10 charge, by the way )
What upgrade you ask? Well...there is an 'app store' icon that is already on the 2nd generation (and on iphone), but lacking on the first generation itouch. One needs the 'app. store' software to download any games or desired other applications.
I tried for 4 days to download this upgrade via modem, on two different computers, and two different phone lines. It always times out, and must be re-started from the beginning! (no 'resume download' here)
I finally went to the Apple store, and used their Wi-Fi to get it loaded.
Now I love my itouch!
So, for an extra $20, get the 2nd generation...you'll spend $10 just for the download, and at least $10 in sweat and angst. ;)

Summary: Misleading ad
Comment: Pay attention to the fact they say Ist Generation, yet don't explain the implications and let you know how it compares with current product. Be aware that a brand new (as of 11-28-08) 16 gig off Apple's website is normally $299. The 32 Gig model is $399. Don't waste your money. Shame on you Amazon for not showing stronger ethics. It is not enough to just print that it is first generation in my opinion. By the way, Apple is also having a one day sale on various items including this one...

Summary: Almost as good as an iPhone...
Comment: The Apple iPod Touch is a fantastic product, utilizing the new touch screen features that seem to wow the iPhone crowd. I received the new iPod Touch as a gift this August, and I have been using it everyday since. I use it to play my iTunes music, write my to-do list, sync my Outlook calendar and contacts, send and check e-mail, and browse the internet. However, I cannot make nor receive phone calls. That is the one function my iPod is missing, and I regret having to reach into my bag, pull out my cell phone, and put my iPod away.
I find my new gadget very easy to use and very reliable, but I find myself wishing for an iPhone instead. I would rather not have two gadgets when they could very easily be rolled into one. Also, I have found that I must pay $9.99 to download the new Apps Store from iTunes, while my iPhone-using friends can download it for free. So, to download the free applications that iTunes has to offer for my iPod, I must pay an initial set-up fee. This has deterred me from making the purchase. I am not that desperate to play games that I am willing to pay $10 for them. Another thing that deters me is the wireless internet situation. As a college student, I can secure wireless internet on my campus and in my house, but I cannot get it while walking down the street or while riding in the car. Since I am not using an AT&T service, I cannot utilize the Edge network, and that makes connectivity slightly frustrating. Connecting is also not automatic, so I must manually connect to a wireless network of choice before I can surf the Web or check my e-mail.
So, now that the holidays are fast approaching, I find myself hoping for an iPhone. I would gladly put my iPod Touch away to gain more convenience and connectivity.
