The iTouch is a very lightweight and pocket-size device, which makes it seem fragile at times, so if you are to purchase one, I would recommend a screen protector at least becausethe screen gets scratched easily.

The iTouch comes with many functions and aspects, which inculde a Wifi connection, an accelerometer for various applications, e-mail function, music, video and photo libraries, maps with an internet connection, a YouTube app, contacts, calendars, notes, stocks and weather app, clock and of course settings.One of the recent updates of the iTouch 2nd Gen now includes the additional Nike app which is great for those who stay active. The iTouch also enables the user to purchase both music remotely from the iTouch with the iTunes app as well as applications with the App store.

The new design is stunning, and fits perfectly in your hand. It is also very thin and fits pretty much anywhere. The good stuff: the video quality is great, and screen size is ideal for any kind of video, mail interface works very well, and the internet connection is fairly quick depending on your wifi connection. I was also very surprised by the ease of use of the iTouch interface - I never read the manual once and I still managed to work out the functions. The touch screen works well, easy interface for music as well, and good quality sound.

Now the not so perfect points: I was extremely surprised at the long battery life when listening to music, but as soon as you use it for other things (such as internet, mail...) the battery gets drenched very quickly. The iTouch 16Gb model also comes with 'sacrifices': due to its reasonable amount of space, if you are a fan of music, there is not enough space for all your music(i.e over 1500 tracks without apps or email functions used...) so be aware of that if your are considering a purchase. Also, it is reasonably overpriced, so I would recommend purchasing when prices are a little lower. Additionally, Apple tend to make their brand exclusive, hence resulting in pricey 'commitements' (such as the 3.0 firmware update recently for £5.99/$9.99, acessories on istore quite $$) so if you are buying Apple technology, stay aware of all these little extra payments which may result in a lot of money spent. And most importantly, the iPod variety (for those who are not familiar with iPod players) depends only on synchronization with a PC or Mac, which makes it inconvenient. Whatever happens to the library of your computer is done to the iPod. This is also inconvenient if you want to share music with friends, as the iPod does not have a 'plug in' ability like flash drives to copy music as it will synchronize with the iTunes library it is connected to.

Overall, the iTouch is a GREAT music player, and stands above all other mp3s in competition due to its classy looks, exclusive aspects and unique style. With versatile qualities and functions, the iPod Touch is an ideal purchase for the music fans but think about every aspect of it before considering a purchase!
