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

...way I can see it lasting 36 hours is if you do nothing but play music straight, this means no interacting with the IPod, no skipping songs, just let it play straight out. I actually only have about 15 hours worth of music on my IPod so couldn?t really see if it worked. Realistically, if you were to check the odd email, and play the odd game, but basically used this like you would any other IPod, then you would see a battery life of about 10 hours which is always good. I would however recommend plugging it in to your computer every time you go on just to keep it boosted up. The amount of times, I?ve got in the car with my old IPod, been prepared to plug it into the stereo and remember that I needed to charge it up. The Good I really do love my IPod touch, I was always a bit bored of my old IPod as the screen was way too small...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

..., therefore i'm glad i didn't upgarde to the larger memory, i think it would have been a waste! I am personnally most astounded by how functional the iTouch is, i did not realise half of what it did, and i most certainly didn't think that it would be like a hand held laptop, the only thing this thing is missing is a phone...and guess what Apple have for that...the iPhone. The screen on the iTouch is so perfectly clear that we tested is by having a look on google Earth and it was almost better than the computer I am typing on! Obviously i wouldn't recommend writing a ten page email on the iTouch, i thibnk this would be impossible and take hours, the machine is totally touch screen. But it does exactly what it is made for and it suprised me on so many levels. One piece of advice, which is pretty obvious, i think this is best kept at home...

Ipod Touch 8Gb with engraving

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

...--Background-- I bought the iPod touch for my son for his 10th birthday. Before he alerted me to the item I knew nothing at all about it. Having played around with it for a few hours, I can now see what all the fuss is about as this item is so addictive. The touch comes in 3 guises, namely 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb versions. These are all identical apart from, obviously the storage capacity. --In the box-- I must admit that then the box came, I thought half the order had been missed as it is minute! Along with the ipod itself, you get the headphones, a usb to pc charger and a quick setup guide. Although this seem very little, it is actually enough to get you up and running in next to no time. As we 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...

iPod Touch - A Touch of Class

Advantages: Superb features. Great touch screen interface and easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery Life and internet connectivity on the go

...Apple, the makers of the ground breaking iPod now bring you the world at your fingertips in the slimline shape of the iPod Touch. Whether you want to look at your favourite website whilst on the train, check your e-mails away from your computer, find your way around a busy city, check the weather and your stocks and shares, view the latest episode of your favourite tv show in the car, view photos or just listen to your music collection the iPod Touch allows it all at the touch of a finger. The Touch's sleek design and fantastic graphic interface means it is very easy to use. The only disadvantages to the touch is its tendency to lose charge quickly when multitasking i.e. listening to music and surfing the internet with the safari application and also the problems that can be faced when trying to connect to WiFi sources whilst...

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...

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 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

...thanks to the size of the screen. It is another handy feature, which you will probably only use occasionally but it is nice to have on there. Stocks This feature is not one that really interests me (mainly because I don't really understand stocks!) and I doubt I would ever really use it however it enable you to check the stock market by just tapping the menu icon. iTunes iTunes is where you can purchase music, videos, games, audiobooks and tv shows. It is the application you will need to install on your computer to be able to link your iPod Touch to your computer in order to transfer music etc. iTunes is free to download to your computer and for convenience is already installed on the iPod Touch. It is also now possible to rent movies on iTunes much in the way you would do from a video store just all online! It...

The little computer

Advantages: sensitive touch screen display, volume buttons and built in speakers
Disadvantages: none

...I received this item about half a year back - never gets boring. This is like a computer in your pocket...but more. The 2nd gen has the app store app on it, meaning wherever there's wifi there's apps waiting. The great thing is that alot of the apps are free and rather useful ranging from games and utilities to entertainment and lifestyle.theres also a little youtube app on there so you can watch your videos and others when you are connected to wifi. The new sleek contoured design is alot more attractive than the first ipod not mentioning the volume buttons are great along with the new built in speakers. I find it helps alot when wanting to show friends new songs and things. i wouldn't really advise you use the speakers for music as they are not that loud mostly designed for apps and other quieter things like that. The touch screen is...

Ipod Touch 8GB

Advantages: Loads!
Disadvantages: Can be a bit flimsy

...are layed out is very easy to use and the way you transfer things onto it is very straightforward. Other things i would like to see on mine which you dont get are a FM tuner. Id like to be able to listen to the radio now and again and i find it irritating that i cant do it on my touch. The main problems i have found is that the back can be easily scratched and that it also sometimes freezes for a while when moving between music, pictures and videos. As i work at a high street electrical store i can tell you that we have had quite a few back with screen problems.. if you drop one of these then the screen is not that strong. The only other thing which i dislike from experience of using the product is the fact you dont get a mains charger with it. This can be annoying when out and about without access to a computer! However a mains...
