 Great unit June 10, 2009
MADBoutIt (Long Island, NY)
The kids had this for probably years now - just got around to the review. I just wish I would see them use it more.
br /
br /Way too many electronic toys these days.
 Exciting to explore - unrefined overall May 28, 2009
Kevin Collins (San Francisco, CA USA)
A friend gave me one for my birthday last year (!) and as an avid/budding interaction designer, I enjoyed exploring the brave new iWorld.
br /
br /But other than for playing around, I would trade it for a similarly-priced Apple iPod classic 120 GB Black (6th Generation) without hesitation.
br /
br /I currently use a Blackberry Pearl 8100 Unlocked Phone -- International Version with No Warranty (Black with Silver) as my regular phone and other than its senility in old age, it's a great device. GMail, for example, works much better on the Pearl than the iPod Touch - I can navigate between messages and pages faster on the Pearl, the Blackberry GMail client pre-loads the messages so I'm not constantly waiting for them to download, and typing with real buttons is faster (even with the Pearl's funky multi-keyed button layout) than the Touch's virtual buttons.
br /
br /GMail is just one application - more broadly, I'm frequently forced to click the home-button (which quits whatever application I'm running), go to Settings and reconnect to a wireless network, and then re-start whatever application I was trying to use in the first place. If there's a network available, why can't the iPod Touch automatically connect to it when the application makes a request? Otherwise, the (virtual) volume button on the Music application is squirrely and requires a fair amount of practice and patience - I'm baffled as to why the iPhone has a real/physical volume button and the iPod Touch does not. Another oddity with the volume slider is its side-to-side orientation, every other virtual and physical volume control in the world is oriented up-and-down.. "please turn the volume left a little"?
br /
br /For all the usability bugs in this product, I am genuinely impressed by the speed, reliability and usability of the Safari web browser on such a tiny screen. My "flow state" moments with the iPod Touch have been using the web browser - it's amazing how well Apple worked this out - I wouldn't believe it without experiencing it myself.
br /
br /I will get an iPhone when the next version comes out (because I'm building iPhone apps), but I'm nervous about switching based on my experience with the iPod Touch.
 Did not work but great customer service May 22, 2009
Kristen L. Baker
The ipod did not work when it arrived and shipping was veryyyyy slow, but it was an easy return. I would reccommend this seller.
Apple Success Again April 28, 2009
Frank J. Wrabel (USA)
I have owned the first generation iPod Touch since they first came out. I ordered mine from Amazon and was very pleased with the price. I had some issues early on but the issues were related to syncing the iPod with iTunes. I no longer have to power up my computer to read email, get directions, or find out what's going on in my area. I chose not to purchase the iPhone because ATT does not work well in our area.
br /
br /The App store has made my iPod Touch so enjoyable that I am never bored with it. If you don't own an iPod Touch, you should buy one. I would buy the second generation over the first generation because the 2nd generation has an external speaker and external volume control which the 1st generation doesn't have.
iTouch - More than Just Cool April 5, 2009
John D. Hillmer (Waukesha, WI USA)
Mine is a 1st generation 8Gig iTouch. Sure, I'd like a 2nd generation and more Gigs, but this unit works fine, sounds fine, and is holding up fine.
br /
br /My battery does not hold a charge as long as I'd like, and it never did. I'm not sure if I didn't condition the battery right when it was new, or if I over charged it too much early on, but that's about the only issue I have with it. I didn't pay the costly service fee to Apple for the protection, and I see that a replacement battery costs a lot to have done at Apple. So, I've done my research, and when it's time, I will get a battery from the internet and I will install it myself.
br /
br /There's enough reviews that discuss all it's options so I won't go on and on about those. I will day that I love the way that iTunes keeps my iTouch and all of my applications that are on it updated. I have games, online Wifi tools, utilities, movies, TV shows, pictures, and of course music on this thing. It works great.
br /
br /I use a DLO Leather Folio Case to keep this protected (click on that link to see my review of the case). I also have a clear screen protector on it - and that has worked fine too.
