apple touch
all my husband's cds have been stored away after i spent 3 weeks uploading music. i am so happy. this product is great. so convenient when on vacation to check e-mail and the sound quality is excellent. bought a bose sound dock and have never looked back. excellent price, shipped early and would highly recommend.

You won't be disappointed!
I recommend this product. I purchased it for my husband for his birthday and he loves it! Most important thing you should know is he isn't good with gadgets and it seems to be a breeze for him to use. Secondly, it is slim and looks really nice. I'd recommend a leather case with availability to the ports to keep it looking that way!

should have chosen the nano
I HATE this iPod! I am frustrated beyond belief. I bought the 16g Touch in april 08 for $369, including the "upgraded software", I see that now it is under $300. I was never able to get the wifi to work, could hardly keep a charge on the battery, then put it down for several months because I was too busy to mess with it or sit down and read the manual. This week I had some time off from work and thought I would get my Touch set up and going. Dang if the screen is now frozen, "slide to unlock" will not respond and I can't even get the stupid thing to turn off. for about 30 seconds I had audio, but then the song started skipping and the stupid thing froze up again. I thought this was "flash drive", I could understand skipping if it was a hard drive. I do not understand what could be wrong, and I don't want to spend another $100 trying to figure it out. I am ready to put it in a drawer, chalk it up to stupidly wanting the latest and greatest from apple, and going back to my little shuffle until I can muster up the courage to purchase another iPod and get the Nano.
VERY DISAPPOINTED, to be sure!

Considering Buying
I went into the shiny new very modern seeming Apple Store in my mall and played with the 'toys' there. I was admiring the i-Touch in the store and played around with it. I also asked the stores associates, who were very helpful for some advice on it. It was pretty cool and easy to work. I did notice that the virtual key-pad took some getting used to, as I kept hitting the wrong keys. The associate said you had to aim for the left of the button- that worked! I also noticed a feature from Nike for exercise that seemed cool, but learned you have to buy another piece of hardware ($30) and they said it worked best in Nike shoes($125). Next, I went to Apps and saw that most things were around $7.50 and up to download- yikes! My area doesn't have much Wi-Fi around and we have a wired connection, so I wonder if I can enjoy it out so much. A couple of things that I can see would improve it would be if it flipped 'closed' or had a built in case. Also I know it's a cool touch screen, but I wish it could go into a mode with some sort of pointer device too. Overall... It sounds like a fun gadget and my birthday is coming up... so why not?!

The product with 8GB is a very useful tool for everybody who likes to be up to date and entertainent 24 hrs a day. It allows the user to enter the Internet in real-time and use all the internets entertainment and news tools available.
Overall can I only recommend the itouch for everyone who like to be in control of messages, news, music, and all other kind of entertainment.
