(not the iPhone) With the Apple iPod touch, Apple has married the iPhone's revolutionary multi-touch interface to their popular digital media player. So instead of a Click Wheel, you just use your fingers to flick through your music, photos, and video. Two fingers can be used in a pinching or spreading motion as well, which zooms in and out of photos and web pages. That's right, the iPod touch is the first iPod to offer web access. It does this via built-in Wi-Fi support. There's even a special iTunes Wi-Fi Store, so you can browse and purchase new music and video while you're on the road. The latest iPod touch now offers a suite of new applications, including email, maps, and handy widgets for weather, notes, and stocks. The new iPod touch also features a customizable home screen that lets you rearrange buttons and create your own Web Clips.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Great
Comment: Great product. I would give it 5 stars but because of the interaction with iTunes, I feel like big brother is watching over me. DRM is one thing, but I don't know of any other product that you purchase where the vendor watches over your use of it like iTunes does. Creepy. Annoying. Pointless.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Ipod touch keeps crashing
Comment: The software on this thing is extremely buggy and will crash if you try and do anything, even just listen to music. Several times a day it crashes on me, more if i even think about getting on the internet.
When it crashes sometimes it will just freeze the screen and stay like that for hours until the battery dies and i have to recharge it. I went to the apple store, hoping to get it fixed, and the "geniuses" at the bar told me to just wait for the new firmware. Well i paid ten dollars to update my firmware and now it crashes even more frequently.
i cannot in good conscience recommend this device to anybody else.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Obsolete even before it arrives
Comment: As other reviewers have noted, this is a beautifully designed, sleek, highly functional product.
However, as noted in the fine-print above and on Apple's website, the iPod Touch is being sold with firmware (1.1.5) that was replaced by a new version (2.0) two months ago.
Mine arrived 12 hours ago, and instead of enjoying it, I have spent much of that time on the phone with Apple trying to understand how I can buy a brand-new product and receive one WITH OBSOLETE FIRMWARE and then be asked to pay an additional $10 to "upgrade" to the firmware that was released two months before I bought the product.
I find this entirely unacceptable and unprecedented, and it has fully tarnished the image of Apple Inc in my mind.
So for $10, instead of feeling good about my new iPod, I am feeling bitter about the obnoxious company that sold it.

Summary: Why buy this when a new generation it's coming?
Comment: Rumor has it that an improved I touch will come in September. Better wi fi, better battery life, better price-capacity relation and they say it will have GPS and may be a mic or a camera included.but the better part is that, for sure, prices will drop in the average of 100.00 or more. So This is a waste of money. At this price!!
