Jo, London

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: It's small, and easy to use, with great sound quality, and holds so much data. Everyone who loves music should own one. I also think it's a great price! I don't get to say that very often with other electronical items.
Bad points:: I don't have easy access to my computer so updating my playlists, and deleting is hassle for me, but other then that I don't have any bad points.

Good points:: Great battery life compared to the second generation nano, simple to use with a nice graphic interface.
You are able to get a whole load of music on this little player, I don't see a reason to buy an ipod touch unless you go for the larger capacity models.
Bad points:: The hold switch isn't as accessible and must be bought with some sort of case to avoid inevitable damage without.
