Apple iPod touch 8 GB > Reviews

Advantages: entertaining, fun, everywhere, stylish, unique
Disadvantages: needs looking after!

...could be purchased on the Apple website with free postage, so I decided to give it a look. There it was, the 8GB, for £169. This was quite expensive, but it was plenty of memory so I decided to get that one. When you buy, there is an option for free engraving on the back. I decided to go for this option too, with the words, '(Amy)' with 'Showgirl' underneath. I hoped it looked okay. I didn't bother going for the £3 gift wrap option! Knowing that ... Read review

Advantages: Quality is brilliant and all the functions are Useful
Disadvantages: Fingerprints and Scratches

Apple IPod Touch 8GB Apple has always been the forerunner in the field of MP3 players. I bought my first iPod 3 years ago, the iPod 4 GB mini, I was quite pleased at first but after a while the battery stopped working, but it remains to be seen whether or not this is the case with the Touch. I spent quite a while looking around for the best price, in the end I opted for eBay! I now think that I should've waited for the right one to come around, ... Read review

Advantages: All the features of the iphone but without the massive price tag
Disadvantages: battery life could be better

...bought this direct from the Apple store we were entitlted to free engraving on the back of the device. We took the decision to have his name, house number and post code engraved with the assumption that if it got lost/stolen there would be more chance of getting it returned. --Setting up-- Setting up the touch is simple. If you havent got iTunes installed on your PC/Mac you will need to do this as it is needed to transfer any content from your ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

...I would have thought that Apple would offer you some inclusive accessories with the £170 iPod that you are buying, but really i was just a black thing in a small clear case. On inspection of the item i realised that it is a very smart and very sleek bit of equipment, the iPod is really beautiful looking and the screen is just big enough So I bought them, what I didn't know is that by doing so I am now the coolest sister ever apparently. I have ... Read review

Advantages: huge variety of features, great sound quality...
Disadvantages: Price, my specifically unreliable model, not vampire-friendly :P

...an itunes track and yet Apple make it so difficult for you to turn that track into a ringtone. I have, however, found the solution to this problem - audiko.net provide free ringtones for iphones that is so easy to do. ~Applications~ The iphone offers a huge variety of applications many at a price but there's no way I would spend any money on those so I only use the free applications which I consider enough to keep you preoccupied. I particularly ... Read review

Advantages: touch screen, lightweight, good battery life
Disadvantages: possibility of getting the screen or the shiny back scratched

...I walked into the apple shop that had recently opened up in Belfast, surrounded by the whole apple range I looked at a couple different models from the new 8 GB nano to the ipod classic. But my eyes finally came to a halt upon the shiny surface of the 8 GB ipod touch. I knew instantly that this was the present that I was to buy her. So I went to the counter, the cashier asked me what I wanted and I placed my order, at which point he turned his back ... Read review

Advantages: Massive range of features, wireless internet, ease of use
Disadvantages: Now I want an iPhone!

This is a repost as I set up a new account only to be reconnected with my old username. Apologies if you have seen this before but the username this was originaly posted under has been deleted. Sorry! There have been very few points in my life when a piece of technology has left me gobsmacked. The first time I returned from lunch to find my ZX Spectrum had managed to load a game, my first mobile phone, Satnav (in a negative sense) and this iPod. I ... Read review

Advantages: Packed with applications, very handy and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Keyboard is hard to use, no flash player and not very durable without a case.

...obviously, is a drawback. Hopefully, Apple will look into sorting this out for future versions. Other than that, the Safari browser is very good. It's fairly quick, like other browsers, it depends on your connection speed as to how fast your pages load. The iTunes store is a great inclusion on the device. I like the idea that you can be sitting out with your friends and if someone mentions a good song or you hear a good song then you can just access ... Read review

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, SOUND OUTPUT AND LONG BATTERY LIFE.
Disadvantages: : FRAGILE IN LOOKS.

Apple has done a very nice job for manufacturing such a music device with fantastic sound output and with high quality ear peace that is capable of doing the job too. The apple device comes in a black and silver colour where by the front is black and the back is silver with apple logo. This is a fantastic music device that is capable of containing approximately 1500 to 1750 songs isn't that amazing. THE DEVICE. The apple comes in a phone like ... Read review

Advantages: great new look, built in speaker, brilliant app store diversity
Disadvantages: more expensive than previous device, back is more prone to scratches

...it is the new model, apple may have probably made them more versatile. So if your on a budget go for the 1st gen, but if you have a bigger budget buy the 2nd generation. The feature for this device are so diverse and good it would take an entire book to summarise them all ( app store applications included of course!!!!). First there are the stand main feature music, video, photo and new to ipod, as seen on iphone, internet. the 8GB version holds ... Read review

Advantages: App store, built in speaker, external volume control
Disadvantages: None (so far)

...little deluded in thinking that Apple would make it competitive enough that it wouldn't make a dent in most people's savings. So when they released it at £350 for an 8GB, I focused on the Touch instead. I ordered it direct from Apple on Sunday evening and it arrived on Tuesday via UPS, so the speed was excellent beings as the website stated it would take 3-5 business days to ship. Unfortunately it arrived too late in the afternoon to charge at ... Read review

Advantages: App store gives incredible range of featues, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Makes me want an iPhone for the 3g aspect

There have been very few points in my life when a piece of technology has left me gobsmacked. The first time I returned from lunch to find my ZX Spectrum had managed to load a game, my first mobile phone, Satnav (in a negative sense) and this iPod. I was given this iPod as a wedding gift so it would be impossible for me to talk about where this item was purchased and rude to discuss the price (although I'm sure the wonderful web has a million and ...
