Good buy

Reviewed by mdsnola (Casual Listener) from New Orleans on Jan 04, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Product was bought for my two children for Christmas - 7 and 8 yrs old. Bought mostly for apps and games but some music. Would recommend not allowing a passcode to access the phone. My 8 yrs old decided to change it so her 17 yr old brother would not use it and she forgot what she changed it to. All the apps we paid for that were downloaded were lost since we had to do a full system restore to re-access the ipod. Speaker not good at all. Recommend purchasing insurance as well. Childs friend already dropped and cracked the screen after 3 days...

First Ipod Touch

Reviewed by Bari (Avid Listener) from West Palm Beach, FL on Dec 14, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I bought this to replace an older mp3 device I had received as a gift many years ago. The Ipod Touch blows me a way. I've downloaded several business applications and now use the Ipod Touch as a mini computer for making notes, developing spreadsheets etc. I'm a musician and have also found several really cool and useful apps for finding chords in open tunings, transposing keys etc. This is probably the most useful piece of small electronic gear I have purchased in recent years. I love the fact that I can have my music playing in the background and use any of the other applications (or play games) at the same time or check email when have access to a wireless network
