Great iPod if you're looking for no bells or whistles. It plays music, and does the job. The WiFi pickup is slow simply because its an iPod that's way behind the times of upgrades for software and apps. Its an alarm clock and iPod alone for me. But as long as that's what you're looking for, you'll love it. Also, a great price for 32gb of memory.

The ipod itself works great, but would not charge at all once the battery died. Realize they had sent me a bad cord. Tried to replace it through the warranty but they couldn't fix it. Had to buy a new cord.

This is the second Apple iPod touch I've personally owned. (5th in my family) I love it. If you've never used an Apple iPod touch or iPhone, you will be blown away by what all you can do from it. Music, books, banking, google, even Netflix, just to name a few things this little machine can do. The best part is that Apple makes it more user friendly that anyone else. I have also owned a Microsoft Zune. (2 in my family) Compared to Zune, the Touch is faster, easier to use, and Itunes has a much wider variety to purchase from than Microsoft. I had the Zune first, but got very frustrated with it. The only plus I would give the Zune over the Touch is durablility. Now my dislikes, the Apple iPod touch is too fragile and frequently has quirks that needs fixing if it gets dropped or gets even damp, not submerged, in liquid. But if taken care of they work great. So I would not spend a lot of money on it to give to a child. Also, it is tougher to monitor what a child does with it than on a computer. It's not just a toy, if it is in range of a wireless signal, it does have access to the internet and all the good (and bad) things it has to offer. But it is such a cool gadget that does so very many things, I can not keep away from it. But beware of buying used ones from individuals, they usually always have problems. The refurbished ones from the manufacturers are better. They do try to make sure all the bugs have been worked out.Read full review
For some reason, I felt compelled to upgrade to the newest iPod touch version. One reason was for a little more storage for music. The very thing that the touch versions lack obviously is storage. The 32 gb ups the ante a little, allowing for somewhere close to 7,000 songs now, but still can't hold a candle to the 160 gb Classic iPod. Sadly enough, they've taken that off the market. Hopefully mine will last me for awhile, since I've barely scratched the surface with my CD collection. Anyway, back to the iPod touch. The bells and whistles are still there. Even the first generation users can enjoy the Genius function with a simple software upgrade. The addition of the iPhone speaker and left side volume buttons was small, but I guess the apps demand it especially in game mode and sharing with friends. But these are very small improvements upon the basic design of the unit. Making it sleeker and thinner doesn't really do much more than make it easier to pack in a pocket, and probably that much easier to steal... :( Despite that, having the internet in your pocket is still a big plus for me. I probably won't spring for an iPhone anytime soon since I'm happy with our present cellphone carrier here, so this is the next best thing. Apple still hasn't figured out how to get around the lack of Flash support. YouTube works great on the unit, so why can't the Flash plugins work? Guess that'll be cleared up down the road on a much more powerful iPod, huh? Anyway, the touch is nice for a space saving internet access device, but for storing music and video, the other bells and whistles dominate much of the space needed for storage, so one outweighs the other. If you love apps and youtube, you'll love the ipod touch. Otherwise, look for storage with the iPod 120 gb classic.Read full review
The iPod Touch is a great little device that I've come to love. It's exterior design is worthy of envy from designers and strangers. The device is mainly controlled by it's glass-covered touch screen, with four buttons on the unit: a sleep/power button, 'home' button, and a volume rocker. The software also has a touch of class, featuring a very simple user-interface. It's very easy to read text, view pictures, and watch movies off the iPod Touch. Navigating through the devices various applications is fairly simple, and a unified user-interface makes each application behave as you'd expect. There are a few things that are a problem though. Typing on the unit is fairly difficult when the unit is held horizontally. Most applications don't support landscaping mode, so the keypad that is utilized in a horizontal position is quite small. Fortunately, the iPod Touch does have wonderful word recognition, which makes typos less of a problem. The other is that the mirror-polished back is extremely prone to scratches. I use a Griffin iClear hard case on my iPod Touch, which hugs the unit very tightly. If dust gets between the case and the chrome trim or back or the unit, the pressure of the iClear case will cause the dust to scratch chrome. This is more of a cosmetic issue than anything else, but it's still annoying when you're trying to keep the unit in pristine condition. With the latest iPod Touch firmware, users have access to the App Store, which provides hundreds of free and pay applications for users to download. These applications range from games to productivity, from useless to useful. I find myself checking the App Store fairly often for new apps that will simplify my life, or just provide a little entertainment. All in all, I'd have to say that the iPod Touch is a great multi-purpose device. If you want something that you can use to watch movies, read e-books, listen to music, and surf the web easily and with great quality, then this should be high on your list.Read full review
