Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Amazing Toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this for my 16 year old daughter for her Christmas present. The Ipod internet is somewhat hard to use at first but it gets easier when you play around with it for a few days to get used to it. But overall the internet works fine, youtube is also fine, and sound quailty is pretty well! I had it since Thanksgiving!Digital camera Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
Completely happy with this one! The software is amazing to use on this device. I'm anxiously awaiting the SDK which will open up this device to more third party software.Digital camera Review: An iPhone Without the Phone!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want the coolest iPod yet check out the Apple iPod touch. This radical design lets you listen to your music as well as browse the internet among other features.
Apple has taken the iPhone and removed the telecommunication capabilities. It is thinner than the iPhone, but has many of its functions. It can play music from iTunes or your CDs. It is a web browswer as well (as long as you have access to wi-fi). There is only one button (HOME) and you just use your fingers to navigate its many features on its 3-1/2 inch screen. The Coverflow feature lets you view your album covers as if in a moving rack. Just touch the album and you can select your music.
There are a few downsides to this attractive iPod. Apple could have boosted the memory. Currently it is available in 8GB (1750 songs) or 16GB (3500 songs). Hopefully, future versions will have more memory at the same price points.
When you open the box, the only instructions is a small foldout giving you absolutely minimal instructions. A mini-manual would have worked better.
Since most functions work with just your finger on the glass screen, it does leave fingerprints. Of course, these can be easily cleaned, but it is a problem if you want to keep it looking clean.
This is a great device and once you get the hang of it, a pleasure to use. If Apple would boost the memory size, it would be an MP3 player for the world to beat.
Digital camera Review: An iPod that deserves the "i"...
Summary: 5 Stars
Years before the iPod touch came out, the general populace seemed to designate such a fantasy device the "iPod touch". And just after iPhone was introduced, it seemed to many somewhat unlikely that a touch screen iPod would have any internet capability or use a flash drive.
Apple's execution surprised and disappointed many, who'd been (retrospectively, unreasonably) expecting a high-capacity, hard-drive based "iPod touch"; not taking into consideration that such a drive coupled with the touch screen would cripple battery life. This is why the Touch uses such a limited capacity.
HOWEVER, OS X and Safari browser *IN*(!!!) this itineration of iPod ensure its reign over probably any other multimedia device on the market. 8GBs is not much, but it is most likely NOT too little for the casual video-watcher; 8GBs of music is thousands of songs. I have 2.5GBs left after almost 300 photos, 2 hours of videos, and 500 songs, which make up all of my library. iTunes Music Store is now not your only (legal) resource for music and video; with a public wi-fi connection or a home router, Safari and YouTube make it foolproof to stream just about any song or music video for free, instantly. This thing just seems alarmingly capable to me and my family.
Simply put, the "i" in iPod now stands for "infinite." It's not perfect, but it's still stunning.
