Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: Another Music player with Big Screen !!!! ( if you are not in Wi-Fi region )
Summary: 4 Stars
Hi Guys,
I got his iTouch in December. This is really a awesome device. I should add one thing first before i go any furthur though... the You tube and safari and all the those things in january software update ( I got to purchase it by paying 20 bucks , cause it is released in Jan not in Dec 2007) only works when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, otherwise this thing is just another iPod with big screen, ofcourse with a touch functionality. It advertises tons of things,but all those things will work only when you are connected to wi-fi.
So keeping that aside, this device is the coolest thing you can have. First thing one notice is, easy of operation on this device, which is a very big plus. The user interface is very very simple and easy to navigate and very very intutive. Music sounds much better than the 60GB iPod i have. You can download and play movies and you can play slide shows of your pics all those usual stuff. But as far to check weather using this device when you are on the road, forget it.. You need a wi-fi spot.
All i can say is it is cool device when you are in wi-fi spot otherwise consider it as a music player/video player.

Digital camera Review: Apple 8 GB iPod touch
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first got my iPod Touch, I thought, "Wow, this will be a fun thing to have". I opened the slick Black box and took out the iPod. It had a beautiful screen(which it actually glass)and had a great look to it. I couldn't wait to load up my songs. I put the USB into the iPod than my computer, loaded up iTunes and waited. "Cannot connect to your iPod. required software is needed". After 2 hours of the same old error, I took it back to get another one. Maybe this iPod was a dud. After I got my new one, same thing. I started all over. I deleted and cleared out everything that had to do with Apple. iTunes, Quicktime and the iPod driver, everything. I reinstalled everything I needed. I worked! Maybe I actually installed something that was "required". I put in my iPod and it found it. I started to load up my songs and it kept losing a connection. I had to close out iTunes because it wouldn't reconnect. I loaded iTunes and it did find it again but it sill lost a connection. After putting on 12 songs, lost connection. If it did keep finding my iPod I didn't care if it only loaded up 10 songs at a time. After 4 hours to load up 400 songs, and 2 hours to edit them I had my iPod all set. I loaded up my iPod and went into the song section. The sound was great. Very clear and loud. Listening to about 10 songs, I heard silence. Great another problem. The song wouldn't play. Then a few more didn't play and so on. Only half of the songs played. I went back into iTunes and reloaded the songs that didn't play. Same thing. I thought maybe I was the only person who was having this problem. Go to the Apple website and to the message board. About 40 people were having the same problems.
Now for the features of the iPod Touch. It has a calculator, Internet connection for web browsing, music, settings, video, and the time. Really. After all the commercials and ads of the stupid shadow dancers, I really expected a lot more features.
For the look of it, it's really is nice. It's about the size of a Razr and has the same weight. It's very bright and clear. Very slick looking.
For the feel of it. It's great. The screen is very sensitive and responsive. When selecting, it really never got confused and selected the wrong thing I touched. That's actually a good thing about it.
For the sound. It's excellent. Just as loud and clear as my old (working) iPod.
The accessories were pretty disappointing. USB, head phones, and a stand which no one ever uses. For the booklet. Nothing. I mean yes it does come with one but it's just a legal thing. No booklet of the iPod itself. It does have a "Get started" booklet but it's nothing you already don't know.
It was very easy to use and operate. If you've used an iPod before, it will take you literally about 5 minutes to remember where all the limited features are. If you've never used an iPod, you will have a tough time.
Some of you who are reading this will say It's me and not the iPod. My old iPod; my Brother and Father's are working just fine. 3 iPod Nano's. I would stick with that until they fix the bugs and for the price to go down. Don't even think about getting this for a while.
Digital camera Review: Apple Ipod Touch
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first bought this Touch, afterwards I looked at getting the Iphone, since the new upgrade for $19.99 it has made my choice alittle better, I still like the Iphone better, overall this a quality product but wish I would have gotten 16mg and I can't wait until they go higher like (80gig) because I could really load the Touch up, great for full length movies,music,photos and my favorite podcast. There are some great third party software so you don't have to got to Itunes for movies,songs etc. This is not just for kids I'am 61 years young and love it.Digital camera Review: Apple Ipod Touch

Very well handle. Delivery was quick payment was easy product was correct. Recommend that anyone getting this product buy the plastic screen protectors and a cover for scratching on case is easy because you will have it everywhere u go!!!Digital camera Review: Apple hater loves iPod touch
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm sure all of this has already been said, but I felt the need to cast my vote too. I love my iPod touch 8GB.
Let me explain that while this is not my first portable media player, it is my first iPod. By choice. I was raised on PCs and have hitherto always hated Apple, so I'm probably pretty different from most iPod reviewers in that respect.
The touch-screen interface is probably the most intuitive interface of any device I've used. Not only do I think wheels are stupid, I'm now starting to think buttons are obsolete. I'm exaggerating, of course, but this thing is a pleasure to use.
The audio quality is excellent and there are a great number of useful EQ presets. 8GB is pretty small for the price of this player. However, although I don't have every song I own on it, I do have every song I ever think about listening to (1365 of them) as well as a few podcasts, some photos, and a couple of TV shows. The screen is very large for a device that fits in your pocket, and it plays some beautiful video.
It isn't the perfect device. It's picky about video (but so is every other player). The wifi and the web browser are exciting features, but they are limited in ways you might or might not expect. The browser doesn't support Flash player (at least yet), so no internet radio. You can play mp3s from web pages in the browser, but can't store them for later use. Also, the wifi music store isn't a wireless-optimized iTunes store as I expected: there are no podcasts or TV shows on it, and it doesn't point out free content the way iTunes on your computer does.
