(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.

Even redeem your iTunes gift cards and gift certificates. All from anywhere you happen to be.

Starbucks Music
You walk into a Starbucks. Order your latte. While you wait, you hear a song wafting from the loudspeakers. You love it. So you get out your iPod touch and buy it over Wi-Fi. Just like that. The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch tells you what's playing in select Starbucks and lets you buy it along with other featured Starbucks content. So you can sip, shop, and listen.

Home Screen
Make the iPod touch Home screen your own. Change what's in the Dock. Rearrange the icons. And make room for even more. You can add up to eight Home screen pages and fill them with Web Clips.

Zoom in and out by tapping the multi-touch display. Switch between portrait or landscape view, depending on how you hold your iPod touch. Sync your bookmarks. Better yet, add them to your Home screen. iPod touch can automatically create a Web Clip on your Home screen from any of your favorite websites. So just one tap takes you directly there.

Maps
Get directions and check traffic with Google Maps. Even find yourself, wherever you are. Using some local Wi-Fi networks (if Wi-Fi is turned on), iPod touch finds your approximate location and gives directions from there. Mark specific locations, find the best route between them, and search for points of interest along the way. With a hybrid map and satellite view, you can see major street names on top of satellite images.

Widgets
Widgets are small, incredibly handy applications you can use every day. Three of the most useful widgets now live front and center on your Home screen:


Weather
Get a five-day weather forecast, including highs and lows, for cities around the world. Save your favorite locations so you can check the weather anytime.

Notes
Take notes, make a to-do list, or jot down a reminder using the easy-to-use touch keypad. Then save or email them.

Stocks
Check your stocks and track the market over one day, one week, one month, three months, six months, one year, or two years.

High Technology
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone, the most advanced software ever engineered, and state-of-the-art technology. With the multi-touch display, you can control everything using only your fingers. If you rotate your iPod touch from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer automatically changes the way the content is displayed. And with wireless technology, you can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi network, anywhere you are.

Multi-touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts.

Ambient Light Sensor
The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.

Wireless
Connect to the Internet anywhere there's a Wi-Fi network. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hot spots in your area. iPod touch finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet.

Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

What's in the Box:
8 GB iPod touch, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth, stand, quick start guide.

4 out of 5 stars iTouch: Pros and Cons   August 6, 2008
Kamila G. Dameron (Seattle)
This product exceeds many standards for a personal media player -and- pda organizer. It is highly intuitive and sleekly designed, and works ("seamlessly" is the word people like to use) with iTunes. However, there are a few basic features I would like to see in it:

-The option to search your music library by typing in a keyword
-Horizontally scrolling song titles (I listen to a lot of classical music, and some of the titles include the piece, opus number, and movement, so it can get kind of long -- I am unable to see the whole title in the iPod)
-The option to shuffle albums (Again, especially for classical music, this would be really useful)
-A copy and paste function (not a necessity, though)

Otherwise, it's a phenomenal player. Worth buying.



2 out of 5 stars Software from the Soup Nazi? Not for you!   August 6, 2008
Persnickety one (Buffalo, NY)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought an IPOD Touch to replace my latest Palm after the Palm died prematurely and after sitting next to an owner of a Touch on a plane. My seat mate demonstrated the Touch to me on the plane and I was impressed. I knew he had added software to it. But it wasn't until I got it home and started playing with it that I realized that Apple had locked out the software this guy was using. In order to install software you have to "jailbreak" it (which voids your warranty). So I tried living within the letter of the warranty. Pretty boring and I started missing appoinments because I could not hear the alarm on the IPOD. There is a utility you can download that makes the speaker louder -- but wait, you can't download it without jailbreaking (a.k.a. voiding your warranty). The calculator was a four function joke. Personal productivity software? Not under the warranty! I finally decided the warranty was not worth it and "jailbroke" it. Wow! HP calculator emulation here I come. VOIP anyone? Sketch programs, restaurant reviews, music synthesizers, even a cute little utility to remember where you park your car. But then, Apple upgraded the firmware: according to the advertisement, under version 2 you can add third party software. So I upgraded: big mistake. Yes you can add software -- but only software sold by Apple on I-tunes. Everything I have looked at is two steps back (and you pay for everything to try it -- the hacked software is mostly freeware: you donate if you find it useful and after you see how it works). Even the upgraded calculator (or the add ons) are maybe 3* programs. And because everything changed with firmware version 2, all of the freeware software has to be rewritten (along with the jailbreaking utilities which are reportedly still kind of buggy).

The hardware and included software is pretty polished with only minor quirks (for example, you cannot delete songs from your IPOD, you have to uncheck them in I-Tunes; thus, if you download a few albums before leaving for a trip, you cannot weed out the songs you don't like on the plane). Because the hardware is pretty decent, it deserves at least two stars. Maybe after the jailbreakers catch up (and I learn not to trust Apple again), it will be back in the three to four star range (four if you can hear the alarm). For five stars, Apple is going to have to decide they really do want it to go beyond being an MP3 (make that MP4 -- added security, you know) player and open* the system up?

* Allow third party software, maybe add an IR port so you can beam information from one IPOD to another and -- scariest of all -- allow memory cards to be used to expand the horizon.



3 out of 5 stars it lacks physical volume buttons. For music on the go, that gets annoying.   August 6, 2008
techmannn (New York, NY United States)
The Touch is wonderful for web browsing and email on the go with the Apps 2.0 upgrade. Really I cant fault it there. It would be nice if the battery lasted longer when wireless is enabled but that's the worst thing I can say about this device's impressive internet functionality. But for portable music, I went running back to my COWON D2 player. Why? Its impossible to adjust volume or skip tracks without taking the player out and tapping on the screen. Now try doing that while walking around a busy subway at rush-hour. Some mention that you can buy 3rd party headphones that have buttons on the wire, but Apple isnt offering that out of the box. For me this is a major flaw in the design of a portable player. I should mention that the iPhone has buttons for volume. C'mon Apple -- that's not making a lot of sense. At 300 bucks, the Touch is 100 bucks too much, especially since there is no ability to add memory cards to the device to expand storage. It _is_ a cool device for internet but there are better music players out there and they cost less.


5 out of 5 stars It's amazing!   August 5, 2008

Apple never ceases to amaze me. i had an ipod nano and i loved it but it was time to improve so i decided to go "touch". i have to say i love it, the quality, sound and functionality are incredible. maybe the only thing that bothers me just a bit is the fact that when i'm going on the metro, every time i want to change the song i have to look at the screen. before, with the nano, i could rew or fwd without looking. well...to sum up...thumbs up!
