Strengths: wi-fi with a full web browser music preview on iTunes wi-fi store beautiful glass screen that is scratch resistant runs OS X mobile can be jailbroken to download and install many third party apps illegal to install iPhone apps
Weaknesses: no Bluetooth no camera no iPhone apps built in, such as 'weather' firmware not as mature as other iPods Chrome back scratches easily (even a case can make a scratch on it) No charger included no way to disable the accelerometer
Overall Evaluation: This is the first iPod that has ever caught my attention. As a Canadian resident with no way to lay my hands on the iPhone, the touch was the only way for me to experience the 'iphone multi-touch' experience. Overall, it is an amazing device; I consider it as the best flash based PMP on the market today. My only concern would be not having a camera; I don't see how the 'phones should have cameras and media players shouldn't ' theory works. Another thumbs ul to Apple and our friend Jobs

Strengths: Multi Touch Interface, Coverflow, Cool Photo Display, Video Resolution, Wi-Fi, Safari Browser, Youtube, Good batery
Weaknesses: No lyrics display
Overall Evaluation: I bought this instead of a 3G iPod Nano, and I can tell thi one's much better! This is the coolest mp3 player around. I had a 2G iPod nano and was using the click wheel, but the multi-touch interface is SO COOL!! Recently many people have complained about the obligatory use of iTunes with the iPod but with me it's the other way rond, I bought my iPod because of iTunes!

Strengths: Crystal clear image. Love the wireless capability. The screen is great, still not a scratch on it. Love all the extras, too.
Weaknesses: Somewhat short battery life when watching movies or using wireless. No camera.
Overall Evaluation: Best iPod ever made. It doesn't even seem strange watching a movie because the image quality is so great. I could have used a bit more space and gone for the 16 Gig but it's not that big of an issue. The wireless browsing is great and I absolutely love the touch screen. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: User interface, WiFi, Ipod, Expandibility
Weaknesses: Lacks External Speaker, Sharp Edging, Add-on Costs
Overall Evaluation: This device may be called an iPod, but don't let that fool you. If you just want an iPod that you can play while your working or exercising this may not be your best choice since you need to see what your doing to control (unlike other mp3 players). But it is what the iPod touch does when your looking at it that is special. In addition to music this device has the capability to be so much more. Just checkout the Apple website for a tour. One not so nice development is that feature updates from Apple will need to be purchased. Apple's January updates cost earlier buyers an additional $20 to add them to the device. If your in the market to purchase this device be sure to know whether your device includes these updates. Amazon is currently selling both revisions at different price points.

Strengths: Great intuitive interface, wi-fi
Weaknesses: You can't download podcasts directly from itouch.Impossible to control 'blind' like you can other ipods.
Overall Evaluation: The iTouch easily connects to wireless networks, even with WEP encryption. I use it on my encrypted network at home, at school, and on public networks just about everywhere else I go. Battery life is quite good if you don't use wireless too much (even better if you turn it off completely). The interface is so intuitive, anyone can use it right out of the box! This is probably the only ipod that can't be controlled without looking at it. This could be a problem for you if you mostly use your ipod in the car, etc. Unfortunately you can't yet download podcasts wirelessly. You have to use iTunes for that. Wireless music downloads work fine.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: WiFi, Touch Interface, Lightweight, 3.5" Screen.
Weaknesses: Battery life is shorter if watching videos.
Overall Evaluation: This is truly the best iPod out there. I previously had an iPod Video 5.5 Generation, this clearly wins. Internet, iTunes, YouTube, no other iPod has had these. A very great product. You can easily overlook the sometimes short battery life and realize that this is a great product.

Strengths: High tech. Touch screen controls.
Weaknesses: internet connection
Overall Evaluation: I bought this as a gift for christmas and when we had to set up the internet connect it became a bit complicated in which it took about 20 minutes to set up. Afterwards everything else worked fine. The picture for the videos are excellent. One thing that i can't comprehend is why it has contacts options since it's not like you can use it to call someone.
