 So far so good. December 3, 2008
I bought this 16gb iTouch on black friday for $199.99 for my girlfriend. Sorta regret I didn't buy more than 1. Been playing around with hers for a few days and love it. I haven't had any problems with the wifi, it was slow for a few days but seems decently fast now, my internet must have been the problem. One small surprise was that I had to buy the software upgrade via itunes for $10 in order to get applications on it. But there are tons of free apps. It'd be nice to have a speaker like the 2nd gen, but i'm sure the battery would drain quicker and i didn't think that was work $80 more.
 Finally, an "i" in teamwork. December 2, 2008

This phone changed my life! I strongly urge you to invest in an Apple iPhone. It will forever change your feelings on mobile communications.
Friends that were scared of technology are now embracing this new platform. A trend throughout my family has begun, who has the best songs, the most ringtones, the fun applications. Thanksgiving dinner was spent having Lightsaber duels underneath the family table. And so much more...
Thank you Apple. Thank you AT&T.
Love it! December 1, 2008
This is my new favorite object. I love being able to check my email and surf the internet on it.

Great unit for older eyes and less nimble fingers...more user friendly.
I've owned the smaller nanos, and at 66 years young, found it a bit tedious.
Great games to download at a very reasonable price..easy to see on the bigger screen than nano, or classic. In color also.
Nice for showing off the family photos, as one can actually see this larger screen with ease.
However, get the 2nd generation itouch if you use a phone line modem.
It's virtually impossible to download the upgrade of software on a phone line.( a $10 charge, by the way )
What upgrade you ask? Well...there is an 'app store' icon that is already on the 2nd generation (and on iphone), but lacking on the first generation itouch. One needs the 'app. store' software to download any games or desired other applications.
I tried for 4 days to download this upgrade via modem, on two different computers, and two different phone lines. It always times out, and must be re-started from the beginning! (no 'resume download' here)
I finally went to the Apple store, and used their Wi-Fi to get it loaded.
Now I love my itouch!
So, for an extra $20, get the 2nd generation...you'll spend $10 just for the download, and at least $10 in sweat and angst. ;)

Pay attention to the fact they say Ist Generation, yet don't explain the implications and let you know how it compares with current product. Be aware that a brand new (as of 11-28-08) 16 gig off Apple's website is normally $299. The 32 Gig model is $399. Don't waste your money. Shame on you Amazon for not showing stronger ethics. It is not enough to just print that it is first generation in my opinion. By the way, Apple is also having a one day sale on various items including this one...
