    Strengths: Clarity of screenScreen Size- nice and big!Access to WebAppsCoverFlow- one of the coolest ways to browse through music. Very smooth touch sensitivity

    Weaknesses: The price can be a bit too much for some people.

    Overall Evaluation: I got this as a Christmas gift, and I've got to tell you, it is an amazing piece of technology. Worth every penny. I am not a big fan of mp3 players, but this really is awesome and I carry it with me everywhere. I really enjoy watching videos on here, and the convenience of using the internet is really awesome. It can really make your life easy when you need to look something up. The size is great also, and with a protective shield, just leave this in your pocket and you are good to go! The price might be the only thing that can cause it's downfall, but overall its amazing!

    Strengths: Touch Screen, Wi-Fi, Ipod Brand, Accessories Available

    Weaknesses: No Bluetooth for Bluetooth Headphones, No Camera

    Overall Evaluation: I brought this for my daughter for Christmas. She and I have loaded it with songs.Wi-Fi setup is quick and easy even with my WEP enabled wireless network.Really cool that the pictures etc., orient correctly just by flipping the device over from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation.It is really disappointing that the device is only 16GB for roughly $400.00 when you can get the IPOD Classic 80GB for $250.00. This item should be better since it is flash memory vs a mechanical hard drive type memory (time will tell). Also it is disappointing that Apple made the decision to not include bluetooth (would have been super to use bluetooth wireless headphones).All in all, the cool factor of the item is pretty high. My daughter constantly gets people at the gym wanting to look at it...she loves watching You-Tube on it.

    Strengths: Amazing user interface

    Weaknesses: Expensive, limited memory

    Overall Evaluation: The iPod Touch is marketed as an iPod, but it is more like a PDA or mini laptop. The first day we had it, we didn't even listen to any music, there were too many other neat things to do, like surf the web. This is a great device for anyone who has WiFi available. The user interface is amazing, it is like something from the future. The screen even rotates from portrait mode to landscape mode automatically when you rotate the iPod. The only real problem with the Touch is the limited memory for the price. In summary, the iPod Touch is much more than an iPod. You are paying for the novel design, user interface and WiFi capabilities.

    Strengths: bluetooth, WiFi, battery lasts a long time, large screen

    Weaknesses: a tad pricey, a little tricky to figure out the buttons when it's in your pocket!

    Overall Evaluation: it's thin, it's lightweight, the clarity of the image is incredible! I love how its interface automatically detects its orientation (movies are viewed in landscape format). It has built-in WiFi that connects to the internet through normal hotspots. (It even remembers hotspots it has connected to already, just like a laptop). It also comes with a special version of iTunes called the 'WiFi Music Store'. That way you can instantly purchase music (not videos).

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Awesome design, picture quality is amazing and very clean

    Weaknesses: Touch screen pad is difficult to use at times

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased two Apple Touch Ipods 16 gig and love it. The picture quality is amazing and the sound comes out perfectly. I heard you can use wifi to get on the internet which I am excited about and plan to use all the time.The only drawback is that it is hard to be precise when choosing a song because the screen is so sensitive and fat fingers don't help.All in all, a great product which I highly recommend.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: User interface, size, great styling, performance.

    Weaknesses: High price makes it a target for theft so don't let it out of your grasp.

    Overall Evaluation: Apple has hit another home run with this evolutionary portable music player. All my expectations were totally met. This product has raised the bar very high for any future competitive products. Unlike some other well publicized high-tech products, it was easy to find many places to buy this, and I even got it at a small discount. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Apple cut the price after the Holiday buying season.

    Strengths: Wi-Fi capability, styling

    Weaknesses: Storage size, price

    Overall Evaluation: The Apple iPod touch 16GB MP3 Player is a really cool device. It not only will store and play all your MP3 songs and video clips, it allows you to connect to the internet with it's Wi-fi capability and Safari browser. Some question the 16 GB storage capacity as being too small but I think it has ample storage for most users. It's price is a drawback but you generally get what you pay for, and the Ipod Touch is not cheap. I like the computer software which accompanies the unit and allows you to manage all your audio and video files. This is the first Ipod I have owned since the early variety came out and I am most imporessed. One final comment - if you can afford it get one and you won't regret it.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great user interface--just touch the glass screen for most functions. MP3 player, web browser, calendar, address book and video player all on one device!

    Weaknesses: Limited memory, fingerprints easily displayed. No power adapter included.

    Overall Evaluation: If you want the coolest iPod yet check out the Apple iPod touch. This radical design lets you listen to your music as well as browse the internet among other features.Apple has taken the iPhone and removed the telecommunication capabilities. It is thinner than the iPhone, but has many of its functions. It can play music from iTunes or your CDs. It is a web browswer as well (as long as you have access to Wi-Fi). There is only one button (HOME) and you just use your fingers to navigate its many features on its 3-1/2 inch screen. The Cover Flow feature lets you view your album covers as if in a moving rack. Just touch the album and you can select your music.There are a few downsides to this attractive iPod. Apple could have boosted the memory. Currently it is available in 8GB (1750 songs) or 16GB (3500 songs). Hopefully, future versions will have more memory at the same price points. If you don't have an abundance of songs to import, then 16GB may be enough. I initially boiught the 8GB version, but soon discovered that it was already 80% full with not much room to expand, so I bought the 16GB version instead.When you open the box, the only instructions is a small foldout giving you absolutely minimal instructions. A mini-manual would have worked better.Since most functions work with just your finger on the glass screen, it does leave fingerprints. Of course, these can be easily cleaned, but it is a problem if you want to keep it looking clean.This is a great device and once you get the hang of it, a pleasure to use. If Apple would boost the memory size, it would be an MP3 player for the world to beat.

    Strengths: razor-thin; touch screen; unbelievably fast software; unbelievably eye-candy software;CoverFlow is amazing ;very functional software - it's very natural to use it.

    Weaknesses: A little bit heavy for its thickness. But it has a lot of metal and glass, so it's not actually surprising.16 GB is not enough for me

    Overall Evaluation: I bough the iPod touch 16GB about a month ago, and I can summarize the review with "Wow!" It's an unbelievable device, that seems to come from the future. It's almost perfect.
