Score 9.0/10

+ Fabulous fun and funky to use, Mac at its best. Nearest you'll get to a PDA for Mac. Recent software upgrade seems to have cured audio clipping heard on some units. Plenty of free downloadable applications available with new ones being added all the time.

- Speaker in ipod is tacky phone type hence low score for sound. Through your own headphones (or even apple supplied) sound is excellent. Won't copy-paste in any application.

BCB, Walsall

Score 5.0/10

+ Internet access, 24hr battery life, coverflow.

- Unreliable, slow, prone to freezing, takes an age to do turn on, can't be operated with 1 hand, requires a lot of effort to do simple things like change volume, had features removed that were present in the iPhone and only removed from this for product differentiation (like the email, calender, Google maps etc), the keyboard is to small and fiddly to be useful, the mirrored back that scratches easily unlike the matte aluminium back of an iphone or the 2G nano,fingerprint magnet, bundled headphones are still useless, the 16GB version is overpriced. All in all a disappointment, I returned mine due to it being faulty and I wont be buying another.

Marissa, Billericay

Score 9.0/10

+ Great screen, very bright and colourful

- Battery life poor. It can also be difficult using your finger to get the right volume or to move onto the next song as is a bit temperamental if you havent got your hand in exactly the right place whereas on teh other ipods with the wheel you can just click or turn the wheel without having to look at what you are doing..

+ fantastic, keeps my husband amused on the train! Good stress relief. Great sound and picture absorbs you into another world.
husband was sceptical at first that it would make his train and underground journey that much better, but now he won't leave home without it.

- screen gets dirty because you are always using your fingers to manoeuvre the screens.

Expert reviews for Apple iPod Touch 16GB 2nd Generation

TechRadar expert review

Following the recent introduction of movie and TV downloads to iTunes in the UK, the iPod touch can be described as a fully-Ô¨Çedged personal media player. At Ô¨Årst glance it looks pretty impressive, boasting a razor-thin, glossy black design with a 3.5in widescreen display that features Apple's nifty touch-screen user interface. It's also an absolute doddle to use, so you can get stuck in straight away.Crisp HD pictures As is the case with most gadgetry sporting a high-gloss black Ô¨Ånish, the screen was covered in smudgy Ô¨Ångerprints within a matter of minutes, although these didn'…
