SETUP - Setup is easy, you plug your iPod into your computer and start iTunes (If not present you must download it) you then tranfer you music, videos and photos through that.

...at around one song per second and when completed you will have your library on your ipod which is pretty cool. STANDARD APPS: - The apps that come with the touch are good. No doubt about it... BUT in order to use your ipod to its potential I strongly reccommed you JailBreak your iPod. Jailbreak is a term to describe opening your ipod up to 3rd party applications. NOTE: you cannot break you ipod by jailbreaking it! - The apps that come on the ... Read review

Advantages: sexy, slim design; 3.5 inch beautiful, bright touch screen; sound/video quality; safari web browsing
Disadvantages: pricey, looks fragile, no flash support, low memory capcity

...couple of times at the Apple store and I have to say, it's one of the coolest mp3 (or is it an mp4?) players ever. I finally got one around the last week of December at Best Buy and I'm completely happy with the Touch. It's simply magnificent. The only complaints I have about the item are kind of minuscule overall but would definitely make the iPod Touch better. The iPod Touch features a beautiful 3.5 inch screen where you basically do all the navigating ...
...plastic. For the Touch, Apple decided to use the shiny mirror back they use for basically all iPods. I absolutely hate this back. It cries "FINGERPRINT AND SCRATCH ME" to me and I hate getting fingerprints and scratches on it (the Touch doesn't come with any sort of case and my Touch already has a few scratches on it...) Buy a case off of ebay (which I did) or something and protect it. Also the headphones that come with the Touch are not as good ... Read review

Advantages: Design, weight, colour, widescreem wi-fi
Disadvantages: Memory, headphones, touch can be a little frustrating

...personal opinion is the lame apple headphones. I would definately recommend upgrading to a decent pair to enable the ipod to blast out the music to it's full potential. Also I find the fact the ipod flips to an album cover almost as soon as a song has begun is slightly annoying, it needs a right side tap, and another flick just to skip to another song. The 16GB version doesnt come with a wall charger either, so should you take your fashionable little ...
...the headphones supplied, are although apple pretty, are weak, there was no charger, and the memory is half that of my previous ipod. I find it a little more effort to skip a track, and my recently played list is not what I have recently played! But saying that its a gorgeous little device, very stylish, very clever with its wi-fi capabilities, and well worth the money. The fact that people will double take it, and mistake it for an iphone makes ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of space, superb touchscreen
Disadvantages: Having to use iTunes,

The Apple Ipod Touch 16GB I purchased was my third Ipod I bought, the first I owned was a 512MB Ipod Shuffle and then a larger 60GB Ipod video. The huge upgrade for Apple bringing out a video playing ipod, and then larger another huge upgrade when they moved to touch screens. Has kept attracting me back to Apple and making me spend far too much money on their products. The Touch is so much more than just a music mp3 player, which is all iPods ever ...
...an Apple iphone without the GSM and sim card parts, this is the closest Apple have ever got to producing a mini computer, or tablet. What can the Touch do you ask; well first of all it plays music, videos, and pictures as standard. This is all you ever bought an iPod for, you now have a fully Wi-Fi connection, an accerolometer built in, a functioning application store on apple.com where you can download hundreds of thousands of applications and games ...

Advantages: Music, Videos, Wi-Fi, the list goes on
Disadvantages: Battery is a bit poor

...Google maps is an add on. Finally, I must say that the iPod Touch is a brilliant piece of work and Apple have really outdone themselves on it. I used to be dead against the iPod Touch and the iPhone but now I'm all turned around on the subject. ... Read review

Advantages: Almost all
Disadvantages: It might put you off, read the review

...matter, any iPods, almost one hundred percent dependency on iTunes for synchronization of the music. It?s exactly this particular basic drawback that has put me right off from buying an iPod even if it?s the celebrated Apple iPod Touch 16 GB (2nd Generation). I agree 200% that it?s the best available dedicated media player. Excellent looks, slick layout, great in fact unmatchable software options, even great audio quality, yet it has failed to impress me at an aspect which matters, at least to me, most. The frequency is very flat meaning thereby, it does not emphasize on any group of frequencies, add very little noise, cross talk is perfect but it?s out put power is low, which naturally gives massive problems with big headphones that could have lower ceiling on their maximum volume potential which is a disadvantage. I don?t know the reason... Read review

Disadvantages: pricey

...Apple i pod touch 16gb 2nd generation is a portable media player manufactured by apple with various other subsidiary functions. It is slim in appearance and also very light therefore making it easy to carry.It has a glass touchscreen which coves most of the top surface and a home button which is situated outside the touch screen surface. The home screen has a number of icons for the options that are available in this i pod. All i pod models have applications such as music videos and photos and a few other extra features that come along with this model.In the models that came out later a mail checking facility was also added. It also has a software similar to the i phone.Office goers who are very busy and people who are always on the move would really love this gadget with its 16gb memory.... Read review

Advantages: Wi-fi, picture quality, audio
Disadvantages: Scratches easily on back.

.... One downside of this is that if it gets too bright or if sunlight shines directly on it the screen becomes very hard to see, but since that happens with traditional screens anyway; it's not that big a deal. Audio quality through headphones is first-rate, and it comes with a pretty good integrated speaker, although I'm not sure when anyone would use that on a regular basis. The touch screen is a great way to navigate and is very responsive. It is also very resistant to fingerprints and scratching. The iPod can display videos, pictures and music files very well and also supports Wi-Fi. It has an internet provider that is a iPod version of Mac's safari. It also has e-mail and messaging features. It also has games which make good occasional boredom breakers. However, since it's not principally a gaming device, they are more along the lines... Read review
