Updated:10-05-08
Duration of ownership:3 Months
Strengths: Apple Earphones included, High Storage Capacity, Lightweight, Sleek & Stylish
Weaknesses: It's a bit pricey!
Overall Evaluation: This is an absolute MUST for everyone looking to get a new MP3 Player! ...BUT, the price is a little to high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE!. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one: **- www.justgetitfree.com - ** . I checked out the website, completed ONE simple offer and met the requirements to receive one for FREE, it arrived a month later in the post! It was also shown on BBC and CNN news!!

Strengths: Amazing interface
Weaknesses: Lack of features that iPhone does have
Overall Evaluation: I have owned this product for almost a year and have loved owning it. I have only this week replaced it with an iPhone which I feel brings out some of the iPod Touch's few weaknesses. No speaker, bluetooth, camera, GPS and microphone makes it a big step down but it's a brilliant piece of kit and is worth its price. I didn't have to pay for it though and got it FREE courtesy to www.FreebieHome.co.uk . Defintely worth visiting if you don't have the cash to buy one as they are expensive!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Touch Interface, Application Store, WiFi
Weaknesses: Lacks speaker and mic. Sharp edges
Overall Evaluation: This is our second iPod touch. I purchased it as part of the back to school promotion. The software for the device keeps getting better refined and software developers keep coming up with really cool applications. My two identified weaknesses have been addressed in the latest model introduced in Sept. 08. Even with that said, a free ipod is still pretty great. This device is also very handy to have when you travel. With the built-in WiFi you can check your email and other websites.

Strengths: Nice graphics, Calendar function is user friendly
Weaknesses: Keyboard is sometimes sensitive and you have to delete and retype characters. Screen is dirty because you are always touching it.
Overall Evaluation: I bought this IPOD to keep my calendar appointments. It is easy to store my calendar and contact information. I also have used the wireless internet option which was great when we were on vacation staying in hotels that had free WIFI. My kids enjoy using the music player which I have loaded my own CD collection as well as songs purchased from ITUNES. The MAP option is a great tool but I wished it allowed you to save directions to a text file. This is a nice gadget to own.

Overall Evaluation: The iPod Touch is AWESOME! My life is on it like if it had a camera && i could call and text on it((which by the way is everything the iPhone has)) but anyway if it had it i would like throw away my home phone, my cell phone, my ipod, and my computer because its so cool. its a must-have even though it may be a little expensive however its worth it

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Design, Interface, Online Apps
Weaknesses: Price, Smudges, Initial Load time, Video requirements
Overall Evaluation: I went from an iPod mini to a Creative Zen Vision M to this iPod touch. Despite the negatives that most iPods have (price, lack of features, proprietary accessories), I wanted this because of the interface and design. They both deliver extraordinary. The touch is nice and thin with a huge screen. The touch interface is extremely intuitive. There's not even operating instructions included but it's very easy to pick up and figure out how to do things. The online apps like Safari, G-mail, and YouTube also work really well for the most part. Surfing the web on it seemed like it would be an eye strain but you can tilt the touch sideways and zoom in to alleviate tiny fonts. The price is pretty ridiculously high for the amount of GB that you get. The screen also becomes very smudgy fast, but thankfully you typically won't see them when the screen is on. The initial load time is also pretty long. Videos uploaded to the touch also have to meet pretty strict requirements. The iPod touch is an amazing device that is fun and easy to use. It's great for listening to music and also fantastic for its web capabilities.

Strengths: lightweight, sleek, gorgeous, easy navigation of music, wifi, streamlined interface, good audio quality, good battery life
Weaknesses: expensive, but you get what you pay for
Overall Evaluation: The iPod touch is a breakthrough in the MP3 player market. I love the touch screen. It makes navigating through my music a breeze. The Wifi on the touch lets me browse the web, check my email, and watch youtube videos wherever there is a wifi hotspot. I can store tons of music and videos on this device. It is simply aweseme!

Duration of ownership:2 Weeks
Strengths: Small, Portable, Fast, Easily connects to internet, touch screen,features
Weaknesses: only 8GB
Overall Evaluation: Great product!! The only thing different I would do is maybe upgrade to the 16GB. 8Gb is alittle small, especially when you want to hold a lot of music. Internet is surprisingly fast when connected to a wireless router. Price may be steep, but when you get for free buying a macbook, it's worth it.

Strengths: Small compact size, WiFi connection
Weaknesses: Price
Overall Evaluation: Overall the IPOD touch is a great MP3 player along w/ its new upgrade software. The main strengths are its WiFi capabilities and its easy to use applications. I recommend this product overall without hessitation. The only weakness about this product is its price. It is a little high, but if you can afford it, buy it. It is a great toy to play with.
