 Incredible, useful toy, but download the $10 update to get it all! September 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this item refurbished, from Apple's website. It came in an Apple box with all the accessories listed with the new one, and a 1yr warranty. It looks brand new; not a scratch, and sync'd with my computer flawlessly, downloading music, videos, contacts, calendar (from Outlook), and my favorites (from Explorer). Many FREE applications are available from iTunes, as well as other free media, but I quickly found out that to get these, you'd better spend the extra $10 to download the 2.0 version of the software if you don't already have it.
Things that might help you get started:
1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes on your computer before you hook-up your iTouch.
2. Download the user's guide from Apple.com for the current iTouch (1st or 2nd generation). Check this out before you get going, as the iTouch manual that it came with doesn't provide much information.
3. Depending upon the battery life it shipped with, you may have to spend up to three hours charging the iTouch with the provided usb cable before you use it.
4. When you have opened up iTunes on your computer, you will need an iTunes account to get the FREE applications. A credit card number is needed to setup the account. Be careful that you don't download applications that are not free, or your credit card will be charged.
5. Once you select applications they will be in que to upload to your iTouch. Unplug your iTouch from the usb and then re-plug it in to get the iTunes software to upload your applications for your use.
6. The button on the front of the iTouch (a square icon...the only button on the front) is how you get to your 'homepage'.
7. For a wireless network that is securted (ie: your home network) you will need the security key to put in so the network can recognize the device. Have that handy as you setup your iTouch.
8. This 16GB size seems like the right choice considering price and availablity of space. I put 2800 photos and 800 songs on it and there is still tons of room.
9. Invest in a case for it. While solidly made, with a glass screen and a metal back, it needs something to protect it in a purse or briefcase.
I found this device to be so much more than the typical MP3 player or a PDA. I love the email function (just find a wi-fi spot first) and the internet capabilities. The pages for the internet load and look very small, but you can easily magnify them and scroll pages.
I do think a nice addition for future iTouch models would be a camera, but since there is so much you can do with it once you load free applications on it, I can't complain! I can see why people would buy an iPhone after getting this, but for those of us who have a phone...this is one heck of a fun additon to the electronics arsonal we carry around each day. Fun, fun, fun!!!
Serves the purpose :) September 20, 2008
This is a good stuff, as you coud expect from Apple. Today I would probaby choose the 32GB version.
great ipod September 19, 2008
first, when i purchase this one, i thought it was an iphone. i was going to cancel it but i told myself, im gonna give it a try. and when i got it, i love it, its great, thanks
A Fun Product to have around September 19, 2008
The touch is a fun product to have. It is basically a mini computer you can carry around in your pocket. As long as you have a wifi connection available you can get to your e-mail, web sites, get RSS feeds, etc. The app store has lots of very useful tools and more are added every day.
On the down side, having to pay $10 to get the latest upgrade was just stupid. I have been in IT since I was 20 years old and I have never-ever had to pay for an upgrade that was available before the product was purchased. No amount of discussion with Apple staff could persuade them otherwise. Apple wonders why they can't compete in the corporate space and its policies like this one that keep them out of that arena.
Worth every penny... September 17, 2008
Since I bought the iPod touch, i've never used any other portable player. i ordered through amazon.com because it was cheaper than anywhere else i've looked. some places still don't have the 32GB version of the ipod touch. the highest i've seen it in stores is 16GB and it was about the same price as the 32GB on amazon.com.
as far as the item goes, it's just like all other ipod's except it does a really good job of being better than the previous ipod. it's slightly thinner than the iphone, it is a perfect solution for the people that don't have at&t carriers. i currently have at&t but i don't like the idea of changing my current plan just to get the iphone. eventually the ipod touch will get cheaper, but by then, there will be another product worth spending your money on. this is worth the purchase ONLY ON amazon.com.
