everything is in one place, music, pictures, you can even watch films downloaded from i-tunes, also the apps (games mostly) are great fun.

the wi-fi could be better, my ipod used to connect to my router but since i upgraded to a draft n router the ipod does'nt want to know the router, but thats only a little niggle, i just download through i-tunes on the p.c and sync them to the ipod

A work of art - deserves more than 10 points for design & ease of use. It's larger than most other players, but it is almost all screen, and making it smaller would reduce the attractiveness of the interface. 8GB holds all of our CD collection, so no point in shelling out the sizeable additional cost for 16GB. Getting the album artwork seems to require setting up an iTunes account, complete with credit card details, etc., so I'm going to have to find a way round that. I bought a Belkin leather wallet-type case which works very well.

Only bad point is iTunes - I don't want to download music, and it makes some things I do want to do a bit clunky.

An absolutely terrific piece of high tech equipment. I had considered the Ipod classic for the extra memory but after a demonstration of the Ipod touch there was no contest! I love the touch screen and, as a keen photographer, the screen size is excellent for showing my photographs. Extremely happy with this product.

Adam, Gravesend, Kent, Uk, “Music mad, Technology crazy!”

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.

Unless you buy a protective cover the steal casing can be scratched by velcro from a sports arm band and you are forever cleaning greasy finger prints off the darn thing, but it does come with a cleaning cloth.
