    03 November 2008

    Few products have created as much of a buzz around the office recently as the iPod Touch. Its iPhone-style, multi-touch interface is superb, letting you flick through music, video and photos with ease, and its built-in Wi-Fi makes web-browsing a breeze. You might think a 3.5in screen is too small for web surfing, but in practice it's a delight: double-tap the screen to enlarge a page, or you can drag your fingers across a piece of text to enlarge it. It even handles... Read more

  3. The second-generation iPod Touch adds speaker and volume controls--and delivers one of the most polished media players available at a lower price.

    The Touch remains a tremendous and innovative device, with enticing features, unparalleled ease of use, and plenty of expandability through the App Store. As attractive as it is, though, I still believe it has room to improve. New features coupled with lower prices increase the second-generation model's appeal, but this version of the Touch doesn't supply enough incentive for existing owners to upgrade. Read more

    (This is a review of the 16GB IPOD Touch 1st gen) My wife bought me this as a gift. I had no clue what it was when I opened it. I had been considering buying a nano for my music in the car. Once I started using this, I could not imagine not having one. I put every CD I own on it so I have about 2600 songs. There was still room on it so I put all my photos (1900) from the last 10 years on it too. With the wireless networking, I can check the weather, movie times, email...... Read more
