 Great gadget March 12, 2010
Mrs. S. T. Bailey
My 12 year old son bought this with his birthday money and is really impressed!! It's an amazing piece of equipment and has brought him and the rest of the family hours of entertainment. We also found that buying this through Amazon was a lot cheaper than other shops.
 Ipod touch 32gb 3rd generation March 12, 2010
Mr. E. Grimley
They are so good, so cleverly designed the only negative things i can say about them would be they can only use wifi and not 3g connection, and some hav a tendancy to be faulty, but other than that good with music, apps and videos :)
A recent convert March 10, 2010
G. Thomas (Canterbury UK)
I've always been a bit of an Apple curmudgeon and for years I have bought and replaced all my "generic" music players from Creative Labs for a number of sound (!) reasons. My 30G Zen Vision had begun to look a little ragged around the edges and was becoming slightly temperamental so in a fantastically callous piece of compulsive consumerism I decided to replace it. I checked online for the new Zen model and horror of horrors it had lukewarm reviews; not just from the usual anti's and fanboys but other longtime users.
So I went for the player that fared best review-wise and now I am the proud but slightly sheepish owner of a third generation iPod touch.
It is a very sexy item and I am strangely drawn to holding and touching it even when it's off......but the less disturbing positives are almost too numerous to mention.
Easy use of iTunes is obviously a huge bonus, no more buying, burning, converting and synching for me. The ease of use and the whole interconnectivity thing drew the occasional jealous glance before when I couldn't use it properly. Now I just had to hold back from an obscene spending spree. (I also bought a Klipsch iGroove iPod Speaker System Black compatible with 3rd Gen Touch and 5th Gen Nano which is tremendous).
The menu system has taken a couple of days to get used to but is now quick and instinctive. I'm loving the apps..the more foolish the better and watching old 50's Sci-Fi B movies on the train is a joy.
Battery life seems very good if I just stick to music and the wi-fi options have a limited use but aren't really a priority of mine. I mostly listen to music, play games, watch films and store photos all of which the "touch" does spectacularly well.
Negative points?....yes the bundled earphones are appalling (the rumours were true) and there is a slight but noticeable reduction in sound quality (especially bass and volume) compared to the Zen but I've let the many positives squash dissention although they are the reason for knocking off half a star but that can't be shown so the laws of mathematics demand that I round up instead of down.
ipod got the right touch March 9, 2010
R. Kiran (London , England)
or those who are condsidering buying Apples latest incarnation of the Apple Ipod touch 32gb MP4 player is a great tool for those who require some form of entertainment on a regular basis.
My previous ipod was a nano and as i began using it on a daily basis i found that i would want more varity in my music as well as video for those long commutes to and from work.
The ipod touch itself has a great touch screen with various features allowing multiple finger touching to be recognised. It is simply a device which can be as engaging as the media it holds for you. through sliding and pinching motions you can navigate various applications and ipod tools which again becomes quite easy to master after a few attempts, but this can also depend on the level of paitents in us all. Its slimmer and lighter than its predessors making it easier to carry with you
Music quality is always good with Apple standard headphones as they have aimed to improve on their comfort a bit , but for those who like big base lines in their music the headphones fall a little short as you will get that rattle noise when it cannot carry those notes. You can compinsate a bit in the settings for this a bit but it is still noticable.
The introduction of the remote with voice control is initially a very cool feature but from a personal stand point i am not sure if i want to announce everything i want to listen to - as well as the fact that if you dont speak clear enough you will get something all together different.
Apart from this the ipod touch has free wifi roaming capability which is great for the coffee shop crowd as all of them now supply free wifi. Surfing the net on the ipod touch is reletivly easy after you get use to the touch key interface. You can also have direct acess to the itunes as well as app store via a wifi connection.
Speaking from someone who has been an ipod user for over 5 years - from the black and white to the touch today- the most inventive feature they have added to the ipod touch ar the apps available for it which allows you to experience many of the apps which are available for free as well as ones you pay for which gives the ipod a while new area of interactivity. From the really fun to the non sensical there seem to apps for everyone to use and explore which opens the possiblilties of tools on the ipod even further.
This also opens the avenue to games and other apps which also use the ipods motion controls which allows all lanscape interfacing to work regarless of what direction you hold your ipod in.
For those who watch movies on the go - the ipod is quite a good size to watch a movie on those long commutes, which i am speaing from experience. Image quality is superb but you also have to note that this will also depend on the quality of the movie file you are watching. You can also switch from widescreen to full screen from a simple double tap motion allowing your own person viewing preferences to maximise your watching experience.
Battery life is also quite impressive as it seems to last a good length of time as well as being able to be charged quicker than ever.
Overal there is more that the ipod touch can offer such as email, picture viewing and other functions but it is a devise which has lots of possiblities. The only thing i can recommend is get the protection covers for these things as if you are like me you would not want to see the slightest scratch appear on it.
i have had mine for over a month and it was definatley worth it.
The iPod Touch.. Best thing since sliced bread. March 5, 2010

Dont be fooled by its size, this small device packs a punch... and a big one. Listening to music, watching videos, playing games and internet are just a few of the things you can have fun with on an iPod Touch.
The App Store is HUGE boasting over 140,000 apps! There's definitely something for everyone. The best thing about the App Store is the fact that most apps are free, whether they're full games or even just trials. There's a huge variety.
I recieved mine just a few months back, and i'm on it everyday. Whilst my music library isn't huge, i've managed to fill up around 15GB of the allowed 29GB. (Not supplied with 32GB, the spare 3GB is used by Apple.) By far, the biggest segment of my iPod is my apps. I have over 7GB of them!
Whilst most people buy an iPod Touch for its apps, listening to music and watching videos couldnt be any better. On a 3.5-inch, multi-touch operated screen, the clarity of videos is like eye candy. Also, with the included microphone in the 3rd Gen models, it makes listening and switching tracks that much easier. All you have to do is speak into the microphone and speak "Next Track." It's THAT simple.
It's easy to see why Apple are the leading brand in the music market. However, the iPod Touch does have it's downfalls.
- Battery Life
If you're wanting to listen to music, your battery will last around 30 hours, with the screen turned off.
However, if you're wanting to play games or watch video, don't expect anything above 4 hours.
The battery life is TERRIBLE. For me, watching video and playing games are a must. This means i have to carry a charger everywhere i go. It's not a big deal, but it definitely needs improving.
- The Back
The back of the iPod just scratches too easily. Its a scratch magnet. If you're like me, and want to keep it as clean as possible, buy a case beforehand. That way, when you recieve it, you can slip it straight into it.
- Shuffle Feature
I find this extremely annoying. Having to shake the iPod everytime i want to skip a track in shuffle mode is just plain nonsense.
Further note about Battery Life;
When i ordered my iPod Touch, the battery life wasn't even lasting 2 hours. I decided to send it back to Amazon for a replacement. Amazon couldnt have been anymore helpful. Their customer service is SUPERB. The steps are extremely easy to follow, and the customer service is up there with the best. When i ordered my iPod Touch, i chose FREE super saver delivery. I sent it back to Amazon on a Monday via Royal Mail 1st class. Amazon sent me an email on Tuesday telling me that they'd sent a replacement via 1st class (i ordered free super saver delivery) AND they would refund my costs for sending it back to them. I recieved the replacement on Wednesday.
Bravo Amazon.
So, in a nutshell. The iPod Touch is one of the best gadgets out there. You need one. It stands way above every other MP3 player out there. Apple have made the user interface amazingly easy to use and get to grips with. With the ever-growing app store, you'll never be bored.
