Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod touch 16 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Beware of iPod Touch
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the 16GB iPod Touch for Christmas but unfortunately it stopped functioning after only 3 months of normal use. When I tried to return the product to an Apple store they 'reset' the iPod, which appeared to fix the problem. As soon as I got home it was clear that the iPod was still not functioning correctly. I went back to the store the next day but was told that they were too busy to help me. Apple then sent me to another store (30 minute drive away) where I was forced to wait for 3 hours before anyone would help me. When I finally got someone to help, it took about 5 minutes for them to realize that the iPod was defective at which point they replaced the device.
Three trips to two different Apple stores with over 5 hours of waiting. And to top it all off they refused to replace the plastic screen protector (which I had purchased from Apple).
Save yourself a headache and try another product. Or at least wait another year until they figure out how to make this product without defects.
Digital camera Review: Big on hype, low on customer care
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this "first generation" iTouch about a year ago. Apple, in it's wisdom, has decided that paying[..] bucks is not enough, that it should be made obsolete so that if I wanted the latest version, with a speaker and the capability to load software games, I'd have to buy a completely new unit for the same price! They even make you pay for a software upgrade (things other electronics companies offer for free), but not if you have the "first generation" iTouch, which they have decided to NOT support. Thanks, Apple, this is my first purchase from you, and my LAST.Digital camera Review: Boy, I love this little device!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first iPod. At first I was looking for something small that I can show my baby's pictures around. Even though iPod touch is not cheap but it has a large display and it is very small, and that's exactly what I need.
After purchasing it, I realized I can use it as a PDA as well. It sync up with my outlook calendar, I can check my GMail, and I can even check my company e-mail from browser! And I can use Google map to check traffic condition before leaving the office. I used to carry my laptop computer around the office a lot, but now I just need my iPod!
I really like its interface. It is just simply cool! Many of my friends download the hacked version of s/w and they can run a lot more s/w in their iPod/iPhone. But since I use my iPod to check e-mail as well I think I'll stay with what I have now.
Another thing I really like is the Podcasts feature. I've subscribed to one Podcast about tips for Photoshop, free of charge!
Well, there are a few things I don't like about this iPod touch, though:
1. You cannot copy/paste in the browser. I really hope they will support this basic function soon...
2. You cannot download games to iPod Touch, unless you use the hacked version.
3. It would be nice if it has a speaker.
4. It would be nice if it supports Bluetooth.
Digital camera Review: Can't live without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
this is simply the best device I own, I use it everyday for.
Music
Videos
Internet
although 90% of the apps are a waste of money and very gimmicky IMO, its still a nice option to have and makes this device that much better.
an easy five stars for me
Digital camera Review: Can't wait for nationwide wi-fi !!
Summary: 4 Stars
Being very satisfied with Verizon, I couldn't take advantage of the i phone. I wanted a way to get emails without subscribing to yet another service. The i touch has made that possible. The wi-fi capabilities are as advertised and easy to use. A touch or two and you are connected to the local network. It is fast and scanning emails was easy. Writing emails is more cumbersome than on a computer, but after some time I got used to the tiny adaptive keyboard. I had a port issue for sending emails at the beginning. I changed the port to my computers port and I was able to send emails without a problem. Google maps is fun and useful. Notes works and has gotten rid of the piece of paper I used to carry around with my list. Wish there was some check off feature though. Itunes is well integrated and almost too easy to purchase songs from. Music and Video work great as expected for an ipod. Amazon had it for $20 cheaper than any other store. I got a cover with the money saved. As advised by one of the other reviewers, I just cut off the small tab on the shipped glass screen cover and that has been working great for touch screen protection. Now if I could only get it away from my daughter....
