The touch is another story altogether. With the lowered prices ($229 for the 8GB, $299 for the 16GB, $399 for the 32GB) and increased feature set, we can't recommend it enough. For some, the capacity won't answer your needs, and for those users the iPod classic or Zune 120GB models will be...

The second-generation iPod Touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth.

There is no doubting that the iPod touch has the wow factor in abundance and those who are lucky enough to always be within a Wi-Fi zone will really get the most out of what this device has to offer

The only complaint I have is having to buy the 3.0 upgrade...although I will skip it as long as I can b/c it does not seem worth the 10 dollars for the features it delivers. The button at the bottom seems to be a little buggy but I can live with it (sometimes takes multiple clicks to shut down...

This was my entry device to the current world of Apple. I debated long and hard between this and the larger capacity classic. I do not regret my decision one bit. I opened the box and thought where's the instruction book, surely this little fold out isn't all the instructions? It was....

2nd generation leaves a lot to be desired but they'll have to do better to get me to buy another one. Why does Apple only put good cameras in the phone? Premium price, mediocre product.

I don't currently own a smartphone, so having an iPod touch along with my regular cell provides the next best experience. I'm able to use tons of useful apps in the app store, to do everything from retreive work email, to music, browsing the web, lots of fun interactive games and social...

My swiss army knife of a device. I use it all the time. Great alternative to an iPhone with a contract.

I work internationally, rotating from Wyoming to Beijing, China on a regular basis. Having an iPod touch as my constant companion has made the lengthy flights and layovers tolerable. I use a combination of Audible books, news apps, podcasts and of course music to keep my sanity. I have only a...

I love iPod Touch's design. It's thinner and lighter than an iPhone and has a metal back. The downside, few basic features are missing a. Microphone b. FM c. Camera (even iPod Touch 3G doesn't has it) I'd love when they add all these + GPS + 3G to iSlate (fingers crossed, 7"). That will...
