Product Description
(not the iPhone) 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.

iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store
With iPod touch, discover new music anywhere. Its built-in wireless capability gives you access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, where you can buy songs with a tap. Browse New Releases, What's Hot, Genres, and Top 10 songs. Or find exactly what you're looking for with a quick search. Tap a song to preview it, tap Buy to purchase it. Even redeem your iTunes gift cards and gift certificates. All from anywhere you happen to be.

Starbucks Music
You walk into a Starbucks. Order your latte. While you wait, you hear a song wafting from the loudspeakers. You love it. So you get out your iPod touch and buy it over Wi-Fi. Just like that. The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch tells you what's playing in select Starbucks and lets you buy it along with other featured Starbucks content. So you can sip, shop, and listen.

Home Screen
Make the iPod touch Home screen your own. Change what's in the Dock. Rearrange the icons. And make room for even more. You can add up to eight Home screen pages and fill them with Web Clips.

Internet
Surf the web. Send email. Get directions and find your location with Maps. Check stocks, weather, and more. iPod touch is not just an amazing iPod. It's the Internet in your pocket.

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.

YouTube
Got a bit of a YouTube addiction? iPod touch feeds it from anywhere with a special YouTube player built right in. Watch featured videos, check out the most viewed, search for something specific, then bookmark your favorites for future reference. It's all the fun of YouTube--pocket-size.

Mail
iPod touch is the first iPod with Mail. And it's the best email you've ever seen on a handheld device. This mail application lets you view rich HTML email with graphics and photos displayed inline, as well as PDF, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel attachments.

Maps
Get directions and check traffic with Google Maps. Even find yourself, wherever you are. Using some local Wi-Fi networks (if Wi-Fi is turned on), iPod touch finds your approximate location and gives directions from there. Mark specific locations, find the best route between them, and search for points of interest along the way. With a hybrid map and satellite view, you can see major street names on top of satellite images.

Widgets
Widgets are small, incredibly handy applications you can use every day. Three of the most useful widgets now live front and center on your Home screen:


Weather
Get a five-day weather forecast, including highs and lows, for cities around the world. Save your favorite locations so you can check the weather anytime.

Notes
Take notes, make a to-do list, or jot down a reminder using the easy-to-use touch keypad. Then save or email them.

Stocks
Check your stocks and track the market over one day, one week, one month, three months, six months, one year, or two years.

High Technology
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone, the most advanced software ever engineered, and state-of-the-art technology. With the multi-touch display, you can control everything using only your fingers. If you rotate your iPod touch from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer automatically changes the way the content is displayed. And with wireless technology, you can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi network, anywhere you are.

Multi-touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. 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
The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.

Wireless
Connect to the Internet anywhere there's a Wi-Fi network. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hot spots in your area. iPod touch finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet.

Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

What's in the Box:
8 GB iPod touch, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth, stand, quick start guide.

2 out of 5 stars A major disappointment...   July 24, 2008
When the Touch was introduced, this new iPod left me, the happy owner of seven predecessors, unusually cold. I couldn't understand why not the WHOLE front of the device was a screen, creating not only a stunning look but also a real Wide-Screen. The aspect ratio of the current screen is 1:1.5 which is certainly not the genuine Wide-Screen 9:16 / 1:1.78 format. On top of that, the whole thing looked a little bit too toyish for my taste. And again Apple practically ignored the fact that the Euro and the USD are two different currencies which means that this 32 GB Touch costs 725 USD in the Euroland Apple stores. If the Touch 32 GB is value for money at a price of 499 USD [Apple's US store price, in which I'm not allowed to shop], it certainly isn't at 725. I know this sounds whiny and the solution is simply to avoid the Apple store like the plague and find some Asian web-site, but Apple just comes across as insulting instead of inviting this way.

However, in spite of all that I bought one, and well...actually owning and using it indeed leaves me cold. I miss the click-wheel, which may be less spectacular but in my opinion is so much more clever and user friendly than the Touch operating scheme. I find the last one fragmented, and without the possibility to go forth and back, step by step. I'm sick and tired to always have to return to the 'basic' button before going on. The user-functions are not part of one unifying concept like with the -rightly famous- wheel. They should have kept it, hidden in the touch-screen and magically appearing when needed.

I have no idea why there's so little room for film titles and why they are not listed in the same position as the screen:'lenghtwise' instead of 'widthwise'. Especially with TV-series this is an annoyance because the episode-numbers are off-screen when the lenght of the title exceeds two words.[PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong and inform me that this setting can be changed].
Of course Apple has again made some great accessories redundant, I can't use a splendid portable charger with the Touch [it's UNIVERSAL: works with every cell-phone, camera, and iPod untill now] which is a nuisance because as always the built-in battery is pathetic.
For the audiophiles: don't expect any improvement in sound-quality since there isn't. On the contrary, the 5.5 gen is still superior and thus sounds better than this 'improved' iPod.
I DO like the glass screen btw!

The following is my own fault, so I can't blame this machine for it: I just don't get the importance of the wi-fi thing. I have a laptop which I always have with me and I haven't discovered what the advantage is to do the 'wireless things' with the Touch instead of my laptop. And why sent e-mails with the Touch when you can sms and mms with your phone? Downloading music or video while I'm on the move is, in my experience, very uncomfortable. I have other things to do or on my mind then. I bought the Touch for the big screen [which IS great] and the less fragile Flash-memory. And the supposedly amazing technical qualities of course...but I'm sorry: I'm not impressed or amused by them.



4 out of 5 stars Best mobile device on the market!   July 23, 2008
There are so many features on this device, it's not just a media player, it's an UMPC (ultra-mobile PC). Now with the new application software available for both the iPod Touch and the iPhone, you can install applications like you can a PC (use iTunes to download or download at a WiFi spot). Since it has the internet, a PDA, email, and can install apps on it, it could replace the need to carry a laptop for some instances. The battery life for the internet is about 2 hours, but if you don't use the Wi-Fi, it can last up to 22 hours. I love this device, and I put 4 out of 5 stars because of only 2 hour battery life for WiFi, otherwise, it would have gotten a 5!

1 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - Dead On Arrival - go through Apple next time   July 22, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this to send to my sister in Germany, and when it got to her (via our Mum, who was traveling to visit) it was completely dead! Luckily she's able to exchange it at an Apple Store in Berlin, but after this experience I will be leery of buying another Apple product through Amazon.

This happened once before to me when I bought an AirPort card for my work iBook, the hardware I got was completely non-functioning.

I've bought cannon electronics here no problem, but I will not be buying Apple here again!
