It was sad, it came broken and I didnt check it out before wrapping his ipod. I have to call Apple and we have to wait for 2 weeks for it to be fixed or replaced.
 Stunning Technology By Apple! December 26, 2008

Received this 16GB ipod touch (1G) for a week now but still stunned by Apple's amazing technology! I've used a few ipods before but none of them can compare to this one. It is simply the best portable device on market. It is very user friendly. Get on line is so simple when you're in a hot spot. The Apple's App Store is amazing. It has so many useful software for free! Even for those who need to pay, the price is very reasonable (mostly from $0.99 to $5). I remember I'd paid more than $15 to buy a dictionary software for my Palm PDA. Now with the same $15 I can buy more than 10 app software for my ipod touch!
The good thing for the ipod touch is it uses the same firmware with the iphone. That means all the software for the iphone can also be used by the ipod touch. There are tons of them. So I recommend you to get the biggest memory that you can afford. 8GB is simply not quite enough. The difference between the 1G and 2G is so little. I would recommend to save the money and get a bigger memory for the 1G ipod touch. You would appreciate to have more built-in memory than the extra volume button and a built-in speaker on the 2G. I would love to see Apple to put a memory expansion slot on the next generation ipod touch.
Last advice is Don't Buy This For You Kids. It is so fun, addictive and so portable, they will have a very hard time to put it down and finish their homework!
IN LOVE with my touch December 25, 2008
Ive downloaded alost all the free apps and will never be bored after getting the ipod touch
IPOD touch is like a pda December 23, 2008
I picked out the IPOD Touch 16g because of the reviews. It was just what I have been looking for to replace my PDA. I have use Palm and Dell PDAs in the past. This is much easier to navigate than either product. It is a fraction of the size and does everything I need it to and more as I gain experience with it. I didn't get the one with the phone. I just didn't need that product.
It has an easy to navigate calender with a list feature. Using this I can quickly see all upcoming appointments. It has an audible alarm.
Putting in contacts and associating birthdays is easy too. Then it associates the information with your calender. I can also use notes in the contact section to put in peoples clothes sizes or kids names or whatever I want.
To synchronize or charge I just plug it into my computer and I don't have to give it any commands. I put books on tape, bible on CD, prayers, and all kinds of music on it. It sorts them easily so I can find any thing I need with a quick touch even with the 20 years worth of CDs I have collected. They are easy to delete too.
It has a simple calculator which is handy. I never need graphing functions at work, just basic functions. It has all I need.
There is a note feature. I can keep lists on it. I use it to keep track of movie and book recommendations people give me. I use it for my gift list for Christmas. I use it to carry measurements of my windows and rooms in case I find furniture or curtains I don't have to wait to measure to see if they will fit. I also keep notes with all my family vaccinations and health information. It is really handy not having a bunch of slips of paper to thumb through and loose.
It surfs the internet faster than my own desk top, but the font is small and the trick of super-sizing it took me about a week to learn. I have bookmarked important sites and you tube videos I have wanted to share. When I am done, it is easy to delete any book marks. Typing comments on blogs or other information took me a week to learn. The keyboard requires a certain touch. A little practice and there is nothing to it. I have wide fingers and have found the right way to hold it to type without errors. No stylus is used. I use it everyday to check my AOL email account.
The battery runs down quickly when using the internet. If I want it to last a whole shift at work, I have to turn off the wifi connection. It takes 3 quick clicks to do that. No big deal.
Several nurses I work with have taken a tour of my IPOD and are getting their own. My only regret is not getting more memory. I have never needed more with my other PDA, but this does so much more and is more fun. I want to use it every day. This is a wonderful product for the older adult who may have a hard time learning how to use new technology. And it is a product my children wish they could have.
I am looking forward to playing games on it in the future.
One of THE best devices December 21, 2008

First of let me say what an anti-mac comsumer I am, and how the Ipod touch however has convinced me into considering switching back to Mac. It is basically a handheld computer with some cool free apps you can load word and excel documents, and play hours of games, surf the web amazingly and its so easy to use. I love it and it is definitely the best device I own. I use it for everyhting from shopping lists, to calculus and chemistry homework, to dog whistle, to games, to my own personal photo album, plus I download my favorite tv shows and movies and periodically switch them out after i watch them, I use the bible app for quick references and google earth constantly, plus i use it to study for SAT's when i'm not busy. The only real draw backs are that it has no camera but, and no built in mic but I got over that pretty quick. It really is a toy that can play music and surf the web. Its great for pretty much anyone and I'm so happy i got mine. It feels great in my hand but make sure to get a good reliable case because if it falls on something hard its probably going to break. Hundreds of apps are available and I really have no complaints, if you want something that can surf the web (with in hot spots) download and save e-mails, play games, and listen to music along with hundreds of silly and very useful/entertaining applications then this is the perfect product.
