Love it!
Very Satisfied
By Tomcat_0304 from Canyon, TX on 06/29/2009.
Describe Yourself: Audiophile
Primary use: Personal
Cons: Short Battery Life
Pros: Simple Controls, Sleek/Compact, Great Sound, Lots of Storage, Reliable Performance, Easy To Set Up
Best Uses: Travel, Commuting, Anywhere, Gym / Working Out, At Work
Very good player. Connecting to Wifi drains the battery within 2 hours, but while just listening to music and not trying to connect to Wifi while on the road, the player will last for hours. Great screen, very compact. Very good player.
The Performance Rivals the Sleek Look
By LH from Brooklyn, NY on 06/24/2009.
Best Uses: Anywhere
Describe Yourself: Casual Listener
Primary use: Personal
Pros: Reliable Performance, Sleek/Compact, Simple Controls
When updating firmware, the iTune interface does not indicate whether the USB plugs in your computer are compatible with the downloaded software. If they are not, then the update freezes the iPod and, if you can restore it to the previous firmware, you lose all the applications previously purchased.
Amazing product
By Brian33625 from Tampa, FL on 05/7/2009.
Pros: Simple Controls, Reliable Performance, Sleek/Compact, Easy To Set Up
Simple to use - right out of the box! Connected very easily and quickly with my wireless network at home, and then again at work. Great graphics. Love it!
I'm lovin' it!
By JRF from Norwalk, CT on 04/30/2009.
Best Uses: Anywhere
Describe Yourself: Casual Listener
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Reliable Performance, Sleek/Compact, Simple Controls
Primary use: Personal
Great product. Free Sonos controller app from the App Store is a bonus for controlling my Sonos Music System (and cheaper overall than buying the Sonos Controller).
Great!

Best Uses: Anywhere, At Work
Describe Yourself: Audiophile
Primary use: Personal
Pros: Sleek/Compact, Long Battery Life, Reliable Performance, Lots of Storage, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Great Sound
I use it at work and home, and I am completely satisfied with the performance of it. Great product, probably buying an iPhone next to get rid of my cell phone.

Better than my old video
By doberriffic from chicago, il on 02/3/2009.
Describe Yourself: Audiophile
Cons: Bulky, Long in arm band gym
Best Uses: Commuting, Gym / Working Out, At Work, Anywhere, Travel
Pros: Long Battery Life, Sleek/Compact, Reliable Performance, Great Sound, Easy To Set Up
Primary use: Personal
Overall very nice. Could use 32gb, but not paying [$] for it. Primary uses - connect in car, in arm band at gym and at work. The touch is a little longer than my 30BG video so it's a little akward to get used to at the gym. Sound is much better and much louder. Akward to get used to touch screen - especially if on a treadmill, but after a day or two it was fine. Great buy, just wish it had more memory for the price - I got the 16gb.
Amazing product
By Fraydee from Lawrence, NY on 01/27/2009.

Pros: Long Battery Life, Simple Controls, Great Sound, Easy To Set Up, Reliable Performance, Sleek/Compact, Lots of Storage

This is the best electronic product I have ever owned, the only thing that seems to be missing is a simple camera.
Apple iTouch
By TD from Houston, TX on 11/19/2008.
Describe Yourself: Avid Listener
Best Uses: Commuting, At Work, Gym / Working Out, Travel
Pros: Great Sound, Easy To Set Up, Sleek/Compact, Reliable Performance
Primary use: Personal
I use my itouch 4 to 5 times a week. Works well, battery last a long time, and the sound is really great
I LOVE THIS THING
By Matt B from Fremont, CA on 11/10/2008.
Describe Yourself: Avid Listener
Best Uses: Commuting, At Work, Travel, Gym / Working Out, Sports
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Great Sound, Simple Controls, Sleek/Compact, Reliable Performance, Lots of Storage
Primary use: Personal
This IPod is the best yet (Not including the Iphone. It has nearly all the functionality of the iphone except the camera and microphone functions. I love the ability to connect to wifi networks and I love the fact that when you buy something on the ipod touch it will automatically back it up to your account when you connect it to your computer. Great product. A word of warning: Graphic intensive programs will suck the battery fast. For example, the game fieldrunners can be played for about 3 hours and the battery will be nearly gone.
