    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Full 3.5" Color LCD Touchscreen, WiFi for Internet and iTunes, Easy setup, Nice looking product.

    Weaknesses: Short Battery life for video playback, no dock or charger included, gets slightly warm after long use.

    Overall Evaluation: Finally a true of video iPod. This unit is exactly like the iPhone, just without the phone, and a few other features. One nice thing about the iPod Touch v.s. the iPhone is that the headphone jack is not recessed. This is nice because you can use any standard earphones, and not just the ones that Apple provides. The unit has WiFi so you can connect to the internet just like the iPhone. You can now also connect to the iTunes music store and buy music, right from your iPod! Some downsides of the feature packed unit is that the battery does not last that long, unless all you do is play back music with the screen turned off. Also, the unit gets warm after a long time of operation. Other then that, this unit is very nice. This is by far one of the best MP3 players that anyone has ever created, and at $299, the price won't brake the bank compared to other look-a-likes.

    Strengths: Touchscreen interface, Bigger Screen than Classic Ipods for watching movies, Wifi Capability

    Weaknesses: Limited memory capacity, Can't play many video formats

    Overall Evaluation: Here's my initial thoughts on the new Ipod Touch Player. I love the new interface, but it does take a little time to get used to not having the touch sensitive wheel. The ability to download songs from any Wifi location is a nice perk as well, although no song sharing is a bummer. The screen is really nice and a major upgrade when watching movies in widescreen on the unit. The unit itself is very thin and light, but I'm not sure its sturdy enough to use while excerising or doing other manual chores.The downside is that 8GB won't hold many movies after ripping, but as long as you manage your songs and videos with the Itunes software in advance, this shouldn't be an issue. Also doesn't play XVID or AVI video formats, so you'll have to convert to MPEG to play movies. In summary, if you prefer a bigger screen and more style, then definitely check out this version. If you want more memory and don't watch movies on your ipod, then check out the 80GB Classic version.

    Strengths: iPod and Browser in one device

    Weaknesses: Limited memory, few instructions, fingerprints, no power adapter.

    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 Coverflow 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. 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.
