Apple iPod touch 16GBAlthough the hardware, such as the 3.5-inch wide-screen multi-touch display and the inclusion of 802.11b/g is the same as its predecessor, the best upgrade (although it may be small) is the addition of volume controls to the side o...
In conclusion, the Apple iPod Touch gives you the best bang for your buck. You get all the tools available on the much coveted Apple iPhone, just minus the phone. If you want your mp3 player to do more for you than just play music than the Apple iPod T...

With its beautiful screen and Wi-Fi, the touch subtracts your computer from the song-management equation. Throw in Web browsing and this gizmo may even remove the computer from your bag. After all, why lug a laptop when you can email, surf, and downloa...
Movies are simply delicious on the huge, 480 x 320 screen, and it doesnt get hot during playback. So featurepacked its almost a standalone computer.
Version 1.x owners have to pay for upgrade to OS 2.1. Battery life could be better, and 8 video playback stops when power dips below 10 percent.

The final component of the iPod Touch puzzle is iTunes. Of course, this is the connection between your computer and your iPod Touch. And I will admit that this is a big reason I put off purchasing an iPhone for so long. I have never been a fan of i...

Standard iPod touch features such as iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and Safari web browsing just as welcome as ever; now includes five Internet applications; good battery performance.
Video isnt as bright as iPhone; no external volume controls or support for remote control.

I had mentioned earlier in my Apple iPod Nano review about the iPod taking the world over by storm. It brought some innovative features to the table. In mid-June of 2007, the world witnessed another marvel from Apple -- the iPhone. Touted as the "Inven...
Great screen, Innovative multi-touch user interface, Excellent video quality, Good audio quality, Near-complete Internet device, Usable even when charging via USB.
No Mass Storage mode, Complete iTunes dependency, Minor software flaws, No support for popular video formats.
Heres again where Ill start lamenting about the whole iTunes dependency that all the iPods users face. And its even worse for the Touch. For the other iPods, I could at least find alternative software to transfer my media, but apparently all those...

The iPod touch is primarily a media player. Everything else is gravy. In our first look at the iPod touch last month (Nov/07, p68), we said that it’s basically a phoneless iPhone. It turns out that the iPod touch is even less than a phoneless iPho...
Nice screen. Innovative interface. Access to iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.
Can’t edit calendar. No volume control on device. No games. No email. Missing some apps found on the iPhone. Reports of display problems with earlyshipping units.
As a media player, the iPod touch won’t disappoint you, but when you hold one in your hands, it’s hard not to think that the device could’ve offered more. Perhaps Apple will add new features with software updates...

The Apple iPod Touch has a large, video-worthy screen, a cutting-edge interface, and Wi-Fi Internet and music download capabilities.
The iPod Touch may cost too much for you, depending on your needs. It has a small capacity for a portable video player.
The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out. Unfortunately, its lean capacity keeps it from reigning as king of the iPods.
