I was won over by it July 15, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I wasn't so sure about the iphone at first. I played with it in the store, and at first said "no" because I didn't like the "touch" keyboard. Once I realized all the other things it could do though, like mapping a location just by touching the address, I was sold. The response on the touch screen is amazingly fast.
It's much more than just a cell phone with a built-in ipod. Some of its many functions include web-surfing with a browser similar to what I'm used to using at home or work, mapping, (I LOVE the "where am I?" button,) and keeping a list of contacts that I can email or phone by simply touching the related information on them. I can keep my schedule on its calendar, and set it to remind me of something with an alarm (or not.) Not only does it have a clock, but if needed I can set an alarm, use it as a stopwatch, or check the weather and current temperature! I've learned the value of IM for private conversations, which is something I had never used before. It also has your basic calculator, camera, and even a stock ticker. I haven't tried watching a movie on it yet, but I have checked out some stuff on youtube. It works great!
I have probably 50 to 100 songs downloaded onto it, and am nowhere near the halfway mark on my 7-8GB of storage. Granted, the web browser is not compatible with "flash" web pages, and occasionally I "fat-finger" the keyboard, but the "automatic word fill-in" feature has a smart technology that remembers words you commonly use. This helps a lot.
Only problems I have encountered is that it won't map your location if you don't have cell service in the area (I think 3G fixes that by using GPS instead of triangulation.) One other thing is that you will hear interference noises (like a humming noise) when playing it through other devices. Putting it in "airplane" mode fixes that, but you won't transmit or receive messages. I noticed that when it is near my PC computer, the computer screen "wiggles" when the iphone transmits or receives (another form of interference.) They do need to come up with a version of "flash" that is compatible with their web browser.
I've owned one for 6 months now, and overall, I'm very happy with it.

I purchased the iPod Touch 16gb "with software upgrade" and was told that included future firmware and software upgrades. Now Apple is charging an extra fee to upgrade to the new iTouch firmware. So we paid extra for nothing.
Don't bother with the software upgrade at purchase since you will have to shell out again for the same thing.
 Fantastical July 10, 2008
This was a last-minute birthday present for a teenager, and she hasn't put it down. It arrived quickly which was a major plus. I am seriously thinking of buying one for myself and my husband. It's too cool!

When I heard the iPod touch was a watered down iPhone, I really had no interest in it. When I started to use the browser functionality, I was pretty much sold. Before I go somewhere, I often take it along even if I don't intend to listen to it. Its useful for finding directions or information, provided you can find somewhere that has wireless (Not very hard to do). Being able to check your e-mail can be handy at times as well.
Oh yeah, it plays music too.
Question July 9, 2008
1 out of 9 found this review helpful
Okay, I have a question. With the iPod Touch, does it cost money somehow to go on the internet, or can you just do it because you already paid for it? This could really help if i get it or not. I just need one person who actually knows what they're talking about. If it does cost money, click thumps up. If it doesn't, click thumbs down. Thank you.
