With the Apple iPod touch, Apple has married the iPhone's revolutionary multi-touch interface to their popular digital media player. So instead of a Click Wheel, you just use your fingers to flick through your music, photos, and video. Two fingers can be used in a pinching or spreading motion as well, which zooms in and out of photos and web pages. That's right, the iPod touch is the first iPod to offer web access. It does this via built-in Wi-Fi support. There's even a special iTunes Wi-Fi Store, so you can browse and purchase new music and video while you're on the road. The latest iPod touch now offers a suite of new applications, including email, maps, and handy widgets for weather, notes, and stocks. The new iPod touch also features a customizable home screen that lets you rearrange buttons and create your own Web Clips.

Zoom in and out by tapping the multi-touch display. Switch between portrait or landscape view, depending on how you hold your iPod touch. Sync your bookmarks. Better yet, add them to your Home screen. iPod touch can automatically create a Web Clip on your Home screen from any of your favorite websites. So just one tap takes you directly there.

With a hybrid map and satellite view, you can see major street names on top of satellite images.

And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts.
Ambient Light Sensor

No Software Upgrade - Amazon's fault not Apple's -  |
Apple iPod touch 16 GB with Software Upgrade Review |
|
I purchased this item mid June after Apple announced the new software release (2.0) but before it shipped because the item included "software upgrade". Nothing arrived with the item about the "software upgrade" and Apple is charging $10 for the upgrade. When I sent a question about it to Amazon they responded (days later) that I should talk to Apple. Though I felt this was bad advice, I did so and Apple (who actually does answer their phone with someone working in the US instead of someone sending emails from India) said, Amazon should provide the upgrade. It's only $10 but it was clearly FALSE ADVERTISING on Amazon's part to say "with Software Upgrade". If you're buying it now it ships with the new software (hopefully) so you're probably OK and this is clearly an Amazon problem, the product itself works great. |

Amazing! - |
Apple iPod touch 16 GB with Software Upgrade Review |
|
I bought this iPod back in January to replace a dying 1st Generation Nano. The two are nothing alike. The Touch destroys any other iPod in comparison, and is certainly worth the money. As long as you have WiFi access, this is a must have for people who enjoy convenience. I love the simplicity of the Safari Browser and Youtube apps. The videos I downloaded, and the ones on Youtube look amazing on a nice wide display, and I love the newly amplified sound of music. If you're easily amused (God knows I am) you'll be excited every time you touch the screen and make something happen. I haven't tested the iTunes app on it, because I get my music elsewhere, but I assume it works great. Anyone can use this device. When you buy it, just plug it in, find your Router password, and you're good to go! The iTouch is an amazing device! |

Pleasantly surprised - |
Apple iPod touch 16 GB with Software Upgrade Review |
|
After I received my ipod touch I didn't really know what to expect. All I knew is I needed more storage space and I thought the touch aspect was cool. I had no idea it came with wifi. So when I got it and saw that you could watch youtube video's i was hooked.
The screen is surprisingly big which is nice. The headphones it comes with are a slight upgrade from the old ipod nano headphones I have. The itunes browsing feature is very cool as well. Now that they released all the different applications for it, there's no reason not to get one if you're looking to purchase an mp3 player. It does take a while to get the hang of navigating it. I would also recommend buying a protective case for it. Only once you're holding the touch do you realize just how thin it is. I bought the griffin iclear which is working fine. |

Great for Travel - |
Apple iPod touch 16 GB with Software Upgrade Review |
|
I purchased this device primarily to use on a recent trip to Mexico. The resort we stayed had wireless internet so I was able to keep up with my mail. The screen really is a bit small but it is a worthwhile trade off to not have to carry a laptop. I also moved all my music and recorded books to the device and it holds everything. I like the controls a lot better than I did my old i-pod. If the I-phone ever becomes available with Verizon I am sure that my wife would upgrade. This is a very useful device. |
