It’s a small man who derives self-worth from his possessions. But I am a small, small man, and Apple’s iPod Touch is a pretty awesome possession. Combining the refined music playback functionality and good looks of six generations of mp3 players...
Strength
"See me / Feel me / Touch me"
Weakness
That this review uncomfortably recalls my history as a technical writer.
Bottom Line
I sincerely doubt that anyone will read this entire review.

Summary
Yes, I now have a third—count ‘em—iPod, cementing my status as an iPod and gadget geek. To be fair though, my latest iPod , an iPod touch, was a reward for a hellacious project at work, and we all earned that reward, and then some. The iPod Touch (in...
Strength
Great wireless applications, easy to use, video screen is great
Weakness
Quick battery depletion, less memory than other iPods

I wouldn't consider myself a Mac geek exactly. I do own a Macbook Pro, which I mostly use to run Windows (my only copy of Photoshop is Windows based unfortunately). I have a tendency to fall behind when updating my Macs with the latest OS. The last Mac...
For the best part of 5 years my MP3 player has been part of my mobile phone, for whatever reason (I can't explain it myself) I have felt the need to separate the two for some time; however I never really liked any MP3 player on the market. And let me...

Summary
Introduction Apple has turned many heads with its release of the iPhone, and subsequent release of iPhone styled iPods. To call the iPod Touch impressive would be the understatement of the year... It has a multi-touch responsive screen, wifi, a 16GB...
Strength
Screen, Design, WiFi, Battery Life, Ease of Use, VERY IMPRESSIVE deivce
Weakness
Single computer sync, no chat or document programs, no bluetooth
Bottom Line
With a large solid state disk, a fantastic screen, and WiFi capabilities this device will please the consumer who wants more than just a basic music player.
I'm extremely happy with my 16GB iPod touch! I couldn't believe how thin it was! I figured it'd be roughly the same dimensions of the iPhone but this puppy is much thinner! I ordered directly from Apple.com and got free (and amazingly fast shipping)...
Strength
Amazing touch screen, super easy to use, beautiful design, small & lightweight
Weakness
No bluetooth, funky Wi-Fi antenna
Bottom Line
Fantastic high tech device, amazing design, good capacity, lots of features, and the software gets better and better!

Summary
SUMMARY: This little thing is quite fun to use. I have had it for about 2.5 weeks and I figured the novelty would wear off, but not yet. It helps that Apple has provided a couple of key updates to the player since I bought it. There are a few minor...
Strength
Awesome video quality/playback, GUI is intuitive and fun, easy to upgrade/add features
Weakness
No radio, sound quality lacks, some upgrades cost, syncing appointments flawed, flash unsupported
Bottom Line
Purchase if you are a video hound. Simplified PDA. Browsing easier than most PDAs, unless you're viewing Flash content. Very cool device, worth just shy of ~$400 pricetag.

Summary
I am a fairly late iPod convert, only picking up my first iPod - a 60GB iPod video - last year. I was very happy with the iPod, although I have to admit that viewing videos could be trying at times, due to the tiny screen. I almost passed up the...
Strength
Innovative touch technology, beautiful screen, wifi, Safari browsing, great audio and video performance, slim design
Weakness
Back scratches easily, battery life can be less if watching longs videos, no "touch" typing
Bottom Line
Brilliant design, looks and performance, all in one product. The iPod Touch is the natural evolution of the iPod classic, and fills the gap between yesterday's iPods and the iPhone.
I have never owned an iPod until I got the Touch. For one thing, why would I want to pay $200 or more to play mp3 files when I could get a cheap player for $25? Not very cost effective if you ask me. Then came the iPhone, which was WAY cooler than the...
Strength
Internet, music, games, video, full color, big screen.
Weakness
Needs PC for charging and first bootup, no flash plugins, limited compatibility with streams, downloads.
Bottom Line
definitely buy it, but be aware of serious drawbacks. Worth the money.
For over half a decade, Apple has been creating the most popular selling mp3 player of a generation. The iPod has spanned nine years, four versions, and branched from portable music player to symbolic icon of an era. The iPod Touch, Apple’s 6th...
Strength
Vast feature list, email, internet, music player, stocks; easy user interface.
