Another Apple Classic

Advantages: Features and versatility
Disadvantages: Headphone quality

...This is a smashing little device for listening to music files or watching your video clips on the move. As always Apple's design is sleek, stylish and highly ergonomic. As far as battery life is concerned you should get about 30 hours if you're listening to music or 5 hours for video clips. The iPod 80 GB comes with plenty of features. There are different categories into which you can place your music files. Cover-flow allows you to scroll through albums - you just click on one to play it. You can also access music according to the artist, composer, album, genre, songs, audio books you've purchased from iTunes or via your own play lists. There's also a simple search function to search for an individual track. I really liked the video capacity of the player. There are categories for movies, TV shows, music and your own play lists...

the apple of my "I"

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

...I purchased this product in November 2008, as a Christmas present for my fiancé. She had hinted at getting a new ipod, as her previous one was the 2 GB ipod nano from a few years back. 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 to me and started looking through some drawers, a few seconds later he turned around and handed me a very small rectangular box with curved edges. Hmmm, I thought to myself, it?s rather small? so I handed...

The Apple of my eye

Advantages: Sleek, stylish and holds loads of music
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...iPods have come a long way from their humble roots of being a personal music player. With the ability to play music, play videos and be used as a photo viewer I think that Apple have gone too far. Apple have developed a niche since the iPod is more than an MP3 player but not quite a fully blown multi media player. The iPod has become a bit of a middle-man. My 20gb iPod was getting a bit tatty and whilst it had served me well it had taken quite a lot of abuse and was getting tired. It was time for an upgrade but I was confused what to buy. There are so many MP3 players on the market it has become a bit of a mind field. Being a previous iPod owner all my accessories were geared towards the iPod so changing to an alternative MP3 player would not only mean I would have to spend cash on the music player itself but also having to buy...

Selling my soul for Apple

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

...memory for my songs. The iphone has the standard features of an itouch. I particularly enjoy the fact I can make playlists on the iphone and that I can listen to music without headphones. The sound quality is excellent. But do be careful not to answer calls when you have it hooked up to a sound system. I was with a group of friends and my iphone was connected to the speakers and my mum rang. I completely forgot that it was my music that was playing and suddenly everyone could hear everything my mum was saying - slight embarrassment. Woops... ~Ringtones~ This was something that annoyed me to the end of the earth. That you can buy a CD or download 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...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

Apple's best ipod yet!

Advantages: Massive range of cool apps and features avaliable
Disadvantages: Needs careful looking after to avoid damage

...I got my 8GB ipod touch for christmas and its been great every since day one! It came with a cool leather case to protect the beautiful shiny backplate that it has (so easily scratched its incredible!) It feels really nice in your hands and is just so easy and simple to use. It works using a touch screen system and only two main buttons. One for turning it on and off and one is the home button which is used to close appications and return to the homepage. One of the best features of the 2nd gen touch is the WIFI connection. I connected it to my homehub router in seconds and then was able to use apples pre-installed web browser safari, which i was very impressed by. Using the WIFI connection also allows you to check your e-mails from a variety of sources ( but sadly no hotmail link ) and access the itunes store and appstore like...

Apple Ipod Touch 8Gb

Advantages: Slim, modern, eye catching, capable. Market leading
Disadvantages: Cost, limited memory for video.

...I have owned this since before Christmas 2008. The packaging was minimal and the design of the Apple Ipod touch 8Gb is breathtaking. Beautiful. The docking is identical to previous generations of Ipod so can be used with any of your previous connectivity and charging docking solutions. The great gui and human interface via the touch screen is innovative and market leading. However, finding your way about and updating via the Apple site takes a few moments to get your head around. Just take your time and enjoy the experience. There are speakers in the case so for occasional use you can listen without earphones. There is a mini jack for connection to systems that do not support the Ipod dock. Aftermarket accessories are available for this like cases and skins. I would recommend this to anyone. With Wi-Fi you can...

  The Apple Of My i

Advantages: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life.
Disadvantages: The Megapixel of the camera is put to shame by other phones available.

...I had been waiting for this day for some time. My 18 month contract with T-Mobile is coming up for renewal next week, however having had problems gaining reception in my area I'd opted to look elsewhere for a new contract. A few weeks back my problems were solved when I was shopping around to try and find the best mobile contract, and discovered that O2 would be stocking the Apple iPhone as of November the 9th. Not only was I looking for a new mobile contract, but also a replacement MP3 player so the Apple iPhone seemed ideal. I made plans to purchase the iPhone and on the evening of release made my way down to the nearest O2 store upon finishing work, bagging myself my very own iPhone at a price of £269. Although the price did seem a little steep, especially considering that I would be paying out a further £35 a month for the contract...

Review of Apple iPhone

Excellent, Apple have nailed it!!!

Advantages: touch screen, integrated speakers, great video quality and picture quality, great sound
Disadvantages: may seem expensive compared to its rivals, and seems like you can damage it easily without a case

...The iPod touch 8GB made by apple is beautifully made, from the first time you set your eyes on it; you want to hold it and use the exceptional but simple features on it., when I brought the itouch it was exhilarating using the best touch responsive screen ever made. Its speakers are one of the best available considering the size of the product. Yes there were disadvantages such as the slippery feel to the itouch, constantly reminding you of you can drop it at any time. However by purchasing a case which is hard wearing and a screen protector it will solve all doubts in the mind. Another minus is that the price of the product will make you hesitate in the current economic downturn, but its better looking at it as a sound investment where you look to keep of hold of it over a number of years. Its regular updates available on the i...

Apple iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: Great graphics and apps
Disadvantages: You get fingerprints over the screen!

...After seeing it on the TV, and it being called 'the funnest iPod ever', I decided that I wanted one. I unwrapped it and found the iPod itself (with engraving on the back, as it was directly from the Apple shop), the headphones, the screen cloth, a USB cable to transfer music, videos and photos to iTunes, and some plastic thing that I assumed was the deck or something like that. SOUND QUALITY The iPod's sound is very good. It is very smooth, and isn't dodgy-sounding. The headphones are also extremely good. Unfortunately I do not have the proper sound deck, but after hearing the nano being play through it at my friend's house, it's obviously extremely good. Overall, the sound quality is exceptional. EASE OF USE The touch is really easy to use. It is vibrant and well layed-out, the apps are spaced out very well on the home menu...

Apple IPhone

Advantages: read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...Ok well im going to be giving a review on the Apple IPhone, ive had it for about two months now, and feel its about appropriate time to give my views on the product, as ive had enough time to play around and get use to it. The IPhone was given to me as a present, a few months back, I was at first not sure whether I wanted the IPhone, it seemed too expensive and full of applications and tools I really didn't want. I already had an Ipod and a Phone. so my thinking was why would I in principle want to get another one. However, being the kind person I am I accepted the gift and went to the shops with my dad were we purchased the phone. Now before you buy your phone you must decide whether you want to purchase the 8GB phone of the 16GB phone. What's the difference, well the smaller one only costs £269, whilst opting for the larger one will...
