I've been using a 32GB touch since release, previously owning iPod mini and nano models. For those of you out there still using older iPod models, make no mistake - the Touch is a huge leap forward in technology. br / br /Reasons to buy: br / br /- as with all iPods, a breeze to link up and manage large music and video collections via iTunes br /- simply gorgeous touchscreen technology that is immediately responsive and intuitive to use br /- fully functional web browsing with Safari and transfer of Bookmarks (Favourites) from your Mac/PC br /- easy WiFi connection (in my experience) - it recognised my Netgear network immediately and linked with no problems. The coverage is better than any other desktop or laptop that I own and works in parts of the house that have never received coverage before br /- multiple new features on recent software upgrade and many more expected with recent release of the Apple SDK br /- ample memory to deal with even the largest music and photo libraries - how much music can you listen to at once anyway? br /- transfer of DVDs to iTunes makes watching full length films on the Touch easy - 3rd party freeware needed - I recommend Handbrake for Mac users, easily available and self explanatory br /- etc. etc. etc. ! br / br /Reasons not to: br / br /- er......price? But you'll get over it.
Stephen Fry is right about this one March 26, 2008

I bought an iPod touch with some trepidation. I had a bad experience with an iPod Photo a few years back: it would never sync with my PC reliably and kept losing album art. Having always been a loyal Sony buyer, I ditched it and went for a 20GB NW-HD3 instead. br / br /However, technology moves on and once again I found myself looking for a music player. While reading various reviews, I happened on Stephen Fry's website. Besides his many other achievements, Fry is a rabid technophile and fierce advocate (and owner) of all things Apple. He views possession of an iMac as a prerequisite for a well-rounded life and if I'd asked for his advice, no doubt I would be told sagely, "iPod, therefore I am." br / br /Fry says of the iPhone, the touch's more communicative sibling, that it provides "a digital experience in the literal sense of the word. The user's digits roam, stroke, tweak, tweeze, pinch, probe, slide, swipe and tap across the glass screen forging a relationship with the device that is like no other." br / br /With its identical interface, the iPod touch can be similarly described. First impressions are that it is innovative, appealing and so far very reliable. Wi-fi 'true' web browsing is a plus - especially the ability to add songs direct from the iTunes website. I won't go into an exhaustive list of other features as that can be found on Amazon's product page. br / br /There are some niggles. Text entry is something that needs practising: the virtual buttons are so close together that it's easy to input the wrong one - but this can be avoided if you don't lift your finger and slide it to the intended character. Also, although I found the iTunes software to be a vast improvement on its earlier incarnation (it can now sort solo artists by surname, for example), be careful when adding similarly titled albums (such as "Greatest Hits"). In its album search and cover flow modes, the iPod treats all tracks from these as belonging to one album, regardless of artist. Apple is apparently aware of the problem but a workaround is to use all the 'sort by' fields for track and album artist and then insert a different number of blank spaces after the title of each affected album. The iPod will then list them separately. br / br /A case is absolutely essential. I noticed on my old iPod that the chrome back was susceptible to scratch marks (seemingly appearing out of nowhere) and the touch is no different. Some sort of protector for the screen is also desirable, as the supplied one will soon start to lift. br / br /Despite these quibbles, this has to be a contender for the best multimedia device out there at the moment. Hell, my next computer might even be a Mac! br /
Finally bit the iPod bullet.... definitely worth it!! March 12, 2008

The Good: br /Finally an iPod interface I think is any good. Cover flow IS cool! br /Overall design does make it stand out from other mp3 players. br /SSD. br /Again - god damn its thin - I think it has an eating disorder! br /Wi-FI, net, calender, maps, calculator, weather and e-mail. br /The sleekest unlock method ever! br / br /The Bad: br /Cost!!!!!! (can get over it when you understand its flash based - just!) br /Cannot be used like normal external hard drive - have to use with iTunes br /Lack of video playback formats compared to other PVP. br / br /The Ugly: br /I don't think so!!!
Quality Sound March 12, 2008

I am just buying my i-touch, so can not comment on it yet, but having read the comments on the sound quality, would like to recommend the Griffin "EarJams". They increase the volume and the sound quality is unbelievable. These Earjams can be bought on Amazon for around 5.00, and will be the best accessory you ever buy for your i-pod or i-touch

Just some comments on review that I have seen here. br / br /1. WiFi: I've seen a comment about not being able to connect to the BT router. I never had this problem, neither have my friends who own the iPod touch 16GB br /2. Sound quality: the earphones that come with the iPod are absolutely useless. To increase the sound quality radically you do NOT have to spend 100s of pounds. iStuff Sound Isolating Earphones work extremely good with the iPod touch and cost only 8.99. br /3. Calendar and Contacts: Contrary to some reviews you can add your own contacts and calendar events directly on the iPod. The very first version of the firmware did not allow you to that which was fixed way back in October 2007. br / br /In addition there are a whole bunch of really nice and exciting applications out there. Currently you can only use them if you hack your iPod, but Apple is very soon publishing an official API for iPhone and iPod that will allow Application developers to "officially" write new apps for the iPod/iPhone. br /My only criticism was the limited memory which has been addreessed by the 32GB version.
