Strengths: WiFi and internet, touch screen, small and very protable, it is just awesome
Weaknesses:not iphone (barely)
Overall Evaluation: The ipod touch is an great tool for portable internet, music, video, and games. though it does not come with many programs, it is easy to jailbreak and once this is done you can have access to anything you want including the iphone apps for free. i highly suggest jailbreaking it though because doing this turns an expensive ipod into a very useful pda. you can even make phone calls with it :)

Strengths: Sound quality is amazing!
Weaknesses:It is not a PDA...
Overall Evaluation: This is the ultimate iPod, and a must-buy for music lovers. I absolutely love it; what a great product. The touchscreen works very well. The scrolling and 'pinching' features are really cool. The other features such as Calendar, Contacts, and Photos work great. Overall, this is an amazing device, which indeed make your life more fun!

Strengths: Touch-screen interface, good itunes software
Weaknesses:Apple charging for simple upgrades, lack of common play buttons.
Overall Evaluation: It's nice to see something new and actually different in MP3 players, rather than the same old with a different case. The iPod Touch is a very nice device and playing music on it is a breeze. I would still prefer not to have to go through itunes for my music, since I am not a big album collector, but iTunes is much better than competitor offerings I've used. It actually does a nice job managing your music.My only complaints are how Apple is charging for simple upgrades that come out afterwards. It seems pretty petty to charge for some software, especially since it should have been available from the beginning as evidenced by it being free on new ones. It's really shady business practices from such a respected company.The other complaint is the lack of even common play buttons on the case, like pause and volume. It almost means you HAVE to buy a remote of some kind if you're going to use it while walking. Otherwise you'd have to look at the screen to do anything, even simple volume management. This wouldn't be a problem if it came with a decent remote, but not only does it not, but there are slim pickings currently out there for third-party remotes compatible with this style of iPod. Apple really should get something put out to complete this wonderful device.

Strengths: Compact, large screen, simple control.
Weaknesses:MEMORY!
Overall Evaluation: I had an 8 gig Nano 3G right before I got this Touch. No Comparison! There are feature differences, but the huge, crisp screen makes up for the lack of mechanical controls.I see the beef about the thing being so proprietary...and how Apple charges for every little thing. I just use it for music and video, and convert them myself, so I didn't care about the programs, or "jailbreaking". I used a PSP with wifi and it was nearly pointless. This iTouch does the web with such ease, I am selling my laptop!Yes, I call it iTouch...sounds better than iPod Touch. Some geeks are so touchy... ;)And if anyone wants to impress me with a hack, in a year or so show me a pic tutorial on how to change the flash drive hardware for the bigger 2G stuff!10 out of 10 for all factors, go get one.
Review:
Apple iPod Touch Flash-Based MP3 Player
The iPod Touchs beautiful design, useful apps, touch screen, and built-in Wi-Fi outweigh minor audio-quality issues.
The Touch is certainly an amazing piece of technology. Mobile Safari is the best portable Web browser around, Cover Flow works great on a device with limited storage capacity, and the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store is extremely slick for a first-generation product.
