Touch Screen Fun

Advantages: Original, nice looking, sturdy
Disadvantages: Limited range of games

...screen. It really is excellent, and makes the DS worth the money. It is accurate, generally easy to control and the screen doesn't scratch permanently (you do get temporary scratches, but these rub off easily). There is a handy holder for the stylus on the side so it'll be quite difficult to lose it. There is also a D-Pad and four buttons for non-touch screen games, which are clear and easy to use. Another control is the microphone - I have only used this for 'blowing' games, not 'talking' games, however my experience of it is negative. It doesn't work, and you'll give yourself a nasty headache trying to blow into it anyway. -Extras- The range of extras are things like an alarm, a Wi-Fi chatroom and a customisable profile. You can also change the colour of the start-up screen to suit your tastes. These extras are neat, but nothing to...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Touch Magic

Advantages: Great sound quality, great applications
Disadvantages: Battery Life, Fingerprints, could be better

...at the bottom, these allows you to look through your playlists, artists, songs, albums or more. Just like you usually would get. The touch technology is brilliant when you play music, the pause, play, back, forward buttons are all accessible just by one touch of the finger. You control the volume not only at the side of the IPod but also on the screen by scrolling it across. The great addition that the second generation provides is the speakers installed within the IPod, they are not fantastic, but they do allow you to play your music out loud without using an IPod dock or anything like that. Videos I gave blood again today, and usually I have quite a hard time. Instead of 10 minutes it takes about 30-45 minutes to get blood out of me, so I took my IPod and lay down and turned on an episode of Bones. I so far only have 2 videos...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

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.

...such as Dailymotion. This, 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 your iTunes and purchase the song (provided your in a wi-fi hotspot). It's really good. You can then listen to it using the iPod feature, which is what the device is built around. But the other functions kind of put the iPod section into the shadows. The touch screen is very responsive and so far, using my brothers 8GB version, I haven't encountered any problems...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

...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 never seen two teenagers smile so much and say thank you so much. Now the first stage was obviously setting them up. There are many different things that you need to set up, the first thing we did was make sure that the iTouch was connected, I didn't realise that when you have one of these, you can connect anyway where there is WiFi, we have also learnt that if we would like to pay £5 a month, we can be connected anywhere, which i think is bloody excellant. There's no point being connected and yo don't know what for, the iTouch comes with a small selection of standard fuctions, one is youtube, one is google and there is another one...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

A Touch Too Much?

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

...fired it up for the first time. As the 2nd generation Touch has a speaker built in internally, it let out a small 'ping' which was a little unexpected as I had forgotten most of what I had read about the new models. I also noticed the additional external volume control buttons on the side. These, I believe, are straight from the iPhone, and has already proved to be an excellent feature for me. All the icons appeared instantly on the screen and I started checking them out. I also found that the touchscreen is very responsive and does not need hardly any pressure to select an icon. I had used my brother-in-law's first gen Touch before so knew the basic interface but I noticed the Application store icon had an icon on the homepage now. I had looked through some of the apps on the iTunes store when it was launched but didn't really find...

ipod touch review

Advantages: Attractive, easy to use touch screen and applications
Disadvantages: Expensive and the headphones are not very durable

...In my opinion the iPod touch is the best in the MP3 player category. With features such as the applications and album artwork it is much more than just a music playing device. However, I would recommend most music listeners to go for a higher memory option. The headphones are not very durable however, and are expensive to replace. That s one drawback of the iPod, all the accessories and software updates tend to be expensive. With the accessories it may be best to look elsewhere than the official Apple products as there are good alternatives. Unless you want a simple music player, in which case I would recommend the iPod shuffle, I think this easily beats the competition in attractiveness and, like most Apple products, just being cool! Its is not the cheapest in its category, but I think it is without a doubt the best....

Ipod Touch 8Gb with engraving

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

...require to browse on the move. It allows cookies and javascript to run and allows you to have upto 8 browser windows open at a time. The touch comes with its own Youtube application which allows you to watch videos without the need to use the Safari browser. Google maps is another standard feature which is great if you are lost as (with the aid of a wireless signal) you can pinpoint your exact location which I must admit I find fascinating. Zooming in on the maps is simple too, by placing your thump and forefinger of the screen and then pulling them apart will zoom the map. Also pushing these fingers together will zoom the map out. This functionality can also be used in the Safari browser. There are other functions which will be less commonly used such as getting the latest weather and a neat little Nike application which monitors how far you...

ipod touch - wow

Advantages: wide, touch screen
Disadvantages: keyboard difficulty if any

...Wow. Touch meets iPod, a perfect combination! the 3.5 inch screen is beautiful, the sound quality is excellent as usual, and it is surprisingly light. The internet is virtually full as normal, with the exception of games. The keyboard is difficult at first, but this is a minor setback. the youtube video player utilises the widescreen excellently, complimented by the perfect sound quality. If jailbroken, games and other application are available. In my opinion 8GB is enough storage, but if you have thousands of tracks or several series of videos, then you may be better to choose the 16 or even new 32GB ipod touch. It evens allows me to do this review on it! An excellent iPod, definitely worth the £200 rrp....

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

iPod Touch

Advantages: Easy to use interface
Disadvantages: Restricted to Apple only appliances

...With one of the coolest and friendliest interface on the planet the iPod Touch is far more than a music player its a statement about you keeping up with technology. With all the great features of the iPhone apart from phone calls and SMS this can be purchased by anyone without having to buy and expensive and lengthy contract. With a screen large enough to watch movies in great resolution and enough space to hold over 1000 of your favourite songs on. The iPod Touch comes with a built in Wi-Fi receiver so whilst you are about and about you can pick up a Wi-Fi connection and start browsing your favourite websites on the acclaimed Safari browser. Also comes with a built in YouTube video watcher enabling you to watch you favourite viral clips on the move....

  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

...inputting the message to be engraved! The website also had an option for gift-wrapping, which cost around an additional £3 - this, included an attractive white origami box with a red elastic ribbon and a small gift card. It looked cute and I hate wrapping things up so I added this option! Delivery was speedy and I received the ipod touch two days later. The accessories included the standard white headphones, the USB cable that enables data transfer and charging, a screen cloth, a stand and the quick start guide. The Look. When it arrived, I was pleased that the gift wrapping enabled me to open the iPod Touch to have a look at it and a play with it before my boyfriend's birthday! I was very impressed with how the iPod Touch looked when I first got it out of the box. It was slimmer than I had expected it to be and felt like...
