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.

..., and up to 24 hours for audio playback. I don't know quite what you think of these claims, but when I first read them, frankly I thought that they were completely unattainable. Having been using the phone however it would seem that these claims are completely true, making the iPhone an incredible piece of machinery which can provide hours upon hours of highly advanced entertainment excellence. I feel that the iPhone puts its phone world counterparts to shame in the battery department, an area that other companies need to now be weary of given the emergence of this latest release in the iGeneration. - Built-In Sensors - The Apple iPhone is actually blessed with what is known as an accelerometer. Now I know that there will probably be many of you out there wondering just what exactly this is, and what it essentially means is that...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

...I am not going toi pretend that I can inform you of everythng there is to know on the iPod Touch, they are so extensive in there functions i think it would just be boring you anyway! Let me start from the beginnning, I saved up for the christmas just gone, and i wanted to buy my two younger brothers something which they would really appreciate and enjoy. A friend said why don't i buy them one of these, now don't get me wrong, i know what an iPod is, but i had no idea about an iTouch, therefore I was reluctant to spend £170 each on them. When I first saw them, I was a little disappointed, 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...

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 best iPod / Phone!

Advantages: unbelivably sexy and beautiful, wonderful internet and video / music
Disadvantages: needs a couple of firmware updates to become the perfect phone

...Given the rather briefness of the other iPhone reviews on Ciao, and given I've actually GOT one, I thought I'd do a proper review prior to the iPhone being launched in the UK. Some history: Apple have been making computers since the 1970's and were the first people to launch what we now call a home computer with the Apple II microcomputer in 1977. Since then, they have been at the front of design and innovation, despite having a few failures along the way, such as the Apple Newton in the 1990's. Apple have recently had two turnarounds, the first being the launch of the iMac in 1998 (basically a portable TV size computer with screen, but with funky colours and all in one design) and the other in 2001 when Apple launched the iPod... The rest, as they say, is history! iPhone history: During late 2006, rumours were...

Review of Apple iPhone

iTouch!

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.

...If it was not for the fact that I needed more than 16GB at the time of buying my 160GB iPod Classic, I would've bought one of these. Obviously now, there is the 32GB iPod Touch, but this is still not enough. The iPod touch therefore is for people who have some money to spend and just want to put their CD's onto the iPod. It is packed with features and in essence is a PDA without the office applications. It comes pre-loaded with Safari (Apple's own web browser), the iTunes store, built in iPod, a special YouTube application for viewing Youtube videos and many other features. Firstly, while I'm thinking about it, the iPod touch doesn't come with a flash player, which is the reason why there's a special YouTube application. This means that when browsing safari, you can't watch embedded video clips or clips off other video sharing sites...

iPod Touch

Advantages: accelerometer - GENIUS! ++ new double click function ++ gorgeous artwork display
Disadvantages: rear panel attracts even the tiniest of marks/dust/grease...

...a 'proper' antenna unlike the lack of one in many other past devices. The Wi-Fi is easy to locate - just look for the big patch of matte black plastic! I thought this was a bit odd and cheap looking at first, primarily because the panel is majorly chrome, but it really grew on me! The asymmetric design is quirky and prevents the product being "too straight-edge". An alternative place for the antenna is along the top or bottom edge of the device where the sleep/wake button and headphone port are situated. This is the case with my Sony PSP ports and infra-red, the result being very sleek and well hidden! ~~~~~SOFTWARE DESIGN: DISPLAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are only two buttons: one is used for accessing the menu whilst the other is actually part...

Touch like an iPod

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

...anyone. The looks are exquisite but I think more thought is needed for the functionality of the reverse as it scratches so easily. Durability I haven't dropped it yet as I'm really overprotective of it but it scratches very easily on the back and also traps finger prints on the screen. I also think that the touch screen is liable to go wrong and it controls the iPod so that if this breaks the whole iPod stops functioning. Ease of using iTunes This was the next thing that I did when I got my iPod, it includes Quick Time but I think that the iPod needs to come with a CD rather than having to download it. I think that the interface is really good and it now uses the internet to get all of the album details into your computer which makes it very easy to add more music. The iTunes store is now a great deal better and means that podcasts...

  iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function
Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently

... 8GB iPod Touch As my boyfriend's birthday approached, I was panicking as to what to get him as men are a nightmare to shop for and I really wanted to get something exciting. I noticed that he kept borrowing my ipod nano and initially planned to get him one of his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it! From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, it is a very good idea to check your spelling at this point as the ipod cannot be returned due your mistakes when...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

iPod Touch

Advantages: Awesome & complex iPod yet.
Disadvantages: The size of iPod.

...When iPod Touch was first released in the UK in October last year, and with my savings, I purchased the iPod. On the Apple website, it cost £199.00 with free packaging, delivery and an optional engraving, so I thought the price was very reasonable, especially for a very complex gadget like iPod Touch. I never had an iPod before so I was excited to receive my iPod in the post. The first thing I had to do was to plug the iPod onto my laptop, so it would start charging. For those who doesn't have iTunes on their computer, you will need to download the program however I can remember a pop-up appearing to tell me to install iTunes. For a while, when the iPod was charging, I had a little fiddle around to see what the iPod was like, and it certainly didn't disappoint me! iPod Touch contains 8GB storage which you can include music, videos...

I love My Ipod Touch

Advantages: Responsive, durable, easy to use and fun
Disadvantages: A little too thin and you need access to a computer

...I love my Ipod Touch so much that I want to purchase the Iphone. I use it all the time especially because I travel a lot with my family. I am a movie junkie and this way I can also keep my 7yr old occupied with cartoons, games or music. The touch is excellent, there is a note pad and the keys are precise to the touch. I use it to write notes at work, shopping list or even if I am traveling I write down things I want to remember about the trip so I can write it in my journal even though, I am sure there is a journal application you can download but I like to write. There is also a calendar, phone book, calculator; you can also load all your pictures and a lot of other goodies that are already loaded for you. The head phones are very durable. It is so easy to load music, movies, games or applications to it from Itunes anyone could...
