For those of us out there who still don't have smart phones this is amazing. It will provide you with all the time killing apps, work out apps, diet apps that you wish you had on your dumb phone. As a music device it is okay. If you do not have correct head phones you have to access the ui to change... Read the full review →
Though I really enjoy the device, I felt let down on a number of features. On the other hand, I felt really let down considering this is billed as a premium media player device, and most recently by apple, a game platform as well. Take bluetooth. I was so happy to hear this was finally available in... Read the full review →
Wanting to avoid the iPod craze I stayed away from Apple for years, choosing Creative instead. Creative make great mp3 players but now, after playing with this iPod Touch for only a day I can see that I have been missing a lot. It can do a heck of a lot more than my Creative Zen as well as my PSP... Read the full review →

As I said, the iPod Touch (3rd-gen), after the upgrade to iOS 4, became very slow and laggy. Originally I thought it was an isolated incident that only affected my device, but after consulting with my friend who has a 2nd generation iPod Touch and trawling through forums and seeing users of the 3GS...

I think the iPod Touch 3rd gen is an extremely good device, with iTunes as backup Apple is really bringing in the bread with this device. Read the full review →

Calling these things "iPods" is really selling them short. They are extremely capable palm-top computers which also happen to have the industry leading media device built-in. With just a couple added programs, this is also an amazing business device. (Documents to Go and Sugar Sync or Drop... Read the full review →
The question is should you buy it and the answer is whole-heatedly - yes. Those with a second gen model need not apply but if you're looking for a top end PMP, then this is it, certainly until we get a good look at the Zune HD. It's quite expensive but then that's to be expected and, for the time being, it's still the best gadget in its class and, for the record, none of its other competitors have a camera either.
If we were voting with our own pocketbooks and preferences, and in need of buying something right now, we’d pick late 2009 iPod touch over any other iPod, even though the lower prices of the prior iPod touch and new iPod nano will surely make them bigger sellers. On the other hand, we wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting to wait and see what happens next; the new iPod touch has a lot more under the hood than is currently apparent, and like its predecessor, will truly come into its own when better software is released to exploit its capabilities.
B+
What we said then still goes: The iPod touch is a terrific media player and portable computing device that doesn’t require any of the commitments or ongoing costs of the iPhone. The new high-end models add the blazing speed of the iPhone 3GS, making them even better for games. If you’re in the market for a game machine, video player, portable Internet device, and music player all in one—and if you don’t want to pay AT&T every month—you can’t do better than the iPod touch.
