Adam, Gravesend, Kent, UK , “Music mad, Technology crazy!”
Score 6.0/10+ Very easy to use, sound quality is excellent and seperates all your music down into albums and playlists which are easy to find and select.
- Very unreliable. Already within 1 month 2 songs i have purchased have vanished from my iPod. They are still on my iTunes on my pc however it is a pain having to keep plugging it in an syncing over and over even though i have made no changes. Also since i have had my iPod Touch it has crashed and had to be restored 5 times (over once a week). Which means it is totally useless until connected to your pc and restored from iTunes, a process which takes me over 1 hour due to the fact i have 400 songs on my iPod. However i can fit thousands of songs onto the iPod so i dread to think how long it will take me in the future.

Tommy, Eastbourne , “Football-crazy Austrian Gooner In-england”
Score 9.0/10+ Great screen quality, massive range of music, videos and applications available (also highly rated), a type of 'gadget' that will attract attention yet at the same time inconspicuous.
- Protective casing quite difficult to find (however this may be due to the area I live in), in-built speaker quality average. Battery life can be low when used frequently.

Alison, Manchester
Score 8.0/10+ Bought the 8gb ipod touch for my 13 year old son for xmas. You have to download itunes which is a bit complicated to use. Some really good features on the ipod, especially the games to download! Would highly recommend it but is a bit pricey!
- No plug in charger. The ipod has to be charged through the computer/laptop which is a pain if it needs charging & your not on the laptop! Would highly recommend buying one for portability!

Pete, Manchester , “Writer”
Score 10.0/10+ The Ipod touch is AMAZING. Forget Nintendo DS or PSP. You will forget this item is a portable music device. The amount of Games and applications that available for FREE for this unit is oustnding. Plus the ones which do cost are only minimal costs. You can download films, tv programmes and music videos to watch wherever you are, as well as uploading photos to the unit. I bought one for my friend and off the back of just 5 minutes using it, i bought another...for me! Great bit of clever clever kit.
- the battery life when charging for a PC/Laptop is occasionally run down quicker than i would like.

Expert reviews for Apple iPod Touch 8GB 2nd Generation
TechRadar expert review
You can't escape the fact that Apple's iPod defines portable media, but it certainly isn't the only option or the best. Take the latest addition to the Creative line-up as an example: the Zen is small, light, well designed and far more capable than the similarly priced iPod Nano.Admittedly, the latest Nano is 15g lighter, and a little smaller, but we're still definitely in the realms of smaller-than-a-credit-card marketing here. And on the plus side, the slightly larger size affords an extra half-inch in screen real estate; important when this is just as good at playing movies as…
