Product Description
Apple?s new iPod touch packs more features into a sleeker design and feels even better in your hand! The iPod touch has a revolutionary touch interface and has been designed to let you control everything using your fingertips. The iPod touch responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer, so you can immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in full, or control a game using only your movements. You can browse over and download loads of games and applications in almost every category at the Apple Store on iTunes or right on your iPod, and rock while you run with the built-in Nike iPod support. The iPod touch no longer plays just music; it also keeps a record of your workout performances, tracking your time, distance and calories burnt thanks to the sensor that you slip into your shoe. The new iPod touch?s body is stunningly thin and made of polished stainless steel for a more comfortable grip, and volume controls have been built into the left side to give you easy access to the most frequently used settings. Plus, the iPod touch is equipped with a built-in speaker that lets you hear music, dialogues and action without headphones, ideal for casual listening, and an astonishing battery life for up to 36 hours of non-stop music and 6 hours of video playback. A new Genius feature has also been integrated into the iPod touch, allowing you to create your very own multimedia library and music mixes. Music and videos on the iPod touch not only sound amazing; they look amazing, too.

 Want the latest ipod? Here's how to get it for a fiver November 22, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.
Go to ipodgifts.net and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.
Many items to choose from; ipod Shuffle, Nano, Touch, Classic or even an Iphone.
They send your gift Free of charge
Enjoy!
my first ipod November 19, 2008
my ipod touch is my first ipod and i love it. infact i think i am turning into Gollum as "it is precious to me"!!
good points
it is a beautiful device, easy internet and email access (took about 1 minute to connect to my wifi and email on aol) has very good quality YouTube access, thousands of applications (some free) to download, and iTunes has masses of music, music videos, TV programmes and movies. there is little better than catching up with all the episodes of battlestar gallactica in the bath! video and sound quality are very good.
bad points
i have spent quite a bit on accessories like composite cables to connect to my TV (quality very good on playing videos and movies).
itunes wont recognise my touch on my main desk top so having to use the kid's one upstairs - a real pain as i have to keep transfering my new music and tv programmes by portable hard drive and itunes if you have never used it before on a PC isnt that easy, several times on sync it wiped stuff off i wanted to keep on and i had a bit of a job getting it back again. eventually managed but it wasnt a pleasure! the apple troubleshooting guide for touch that is recognised by windows but not by itunes isnt that easy to follow and involves downloading removal tools from microsoft etc, which you shouldnt have to do when you are paying 250 pounds for the 32 gig one.
conclusion
despite a few problems with itunes i LOVE my touch and would recommend it fully. it sounds a bit daft but it is so beautifully made you actually feel proud owning it! ummm can i resist buying a music centre with a docking station???

It's good but... November 11, 2008

Let me get the negative out of the way first. Prior to buying the new 2nd generation iPod Touch I owned a 5th generation 80GB iPod Video. The first thing that struck me about the iPod Touch was the inferior sound quality compared to that of my video iPod despite using the same high quality Sony headphones.
I did a google search and apparently Apple now use a digital to analogue convertor (DAC) chip from a different manufacturer in 6th generation iPods than those used in the 5th generation iPods. You can found out more about this on Apple's support forums.
Despite this though, the playback quality is still on the right side of good enough.
Everything else about this gadget is just brilliant.
I had no problems connecting it to my wifi, and the safari browser is really quick compared to other mobile browsers I have used in the past.
The screen is bright and beautiful, music videos, YouTube videos and the BBC iPlayer look really fantastic, like having a miniature HD television in your hands. It's brilliant for catching up with television or watching YouTube while laying in bed.
The iPod Touch/iPhone versions of the App Store and iTunes are really easy to navigate and like the browser load very quick. With iTunes you can listen to a 30 second preview just like on the PC version and any music you download direct to the Touch downloads as quickly as it does on the PC (depending on ISP your connection speed obviously).
The App store is full of great applications, all sorts of stuff from games to music creation, even ebooks and comics. There are some really great free apps on there too like Google Earth, or Mini Piano for the times when you have the odd few minutes to spare.
Some of the Apps are a little rough around the edges but many are quiet cheap, starting at 59p, plus you can download any upgrades for free once you have made a purchase. I downloaded the Crash Bandicoot Kart Racing game and I am very impressed with it, you turn corners by tilting the iPod Touch and fire missiles or jump by touching the screen, and it all moves along with a decent smooth frame rate, all for 3.49.
I was surprised at how small the packaging was that it came in. It is a small high quality plastic case with all the ingredients tucked away neatly inside, very smart.
The iPod Touch is very light and slim, it does feel delicate so you might want to buy a case for it, if you are one who likes to keep their gadgets in pristine condition you will probably handle it with kid gloves until you get it into a case. I bought a Griffin iClear case for mine which fits snugly so now I feel more secure taking it out and about.
Also you can get a firmer grip on the ipod because without a case the iPod Touch is very slim and feels like it could easily slip out of your hand, especially if you have larger hands.
One thing I do miss from the video iPod is the clickwheel, you could just put your hand in your pocket and move on to the next track but with the touch you need to look at the screen to see what you are doing.
I would have given this five stars but because the playback quality isn't as good as the 5th generation iPod I owned I have given it 4, though I would rather give it a 4.5 and only knock half a point off for the reduced sound quality because it is still good enough.
Edit. Some reviews state that the new iPod touch will not charge in docks. I just thought I'd let you know that the Apple USB mains plug which I used for my video iPod still charges the 2G iPod Touch if anybody needs a PC free method of charging.

I upgraded to the new touch mainly as i had run our of room on my old 16Gb model, and i was happy, very happy when it arrived, it does what it says on the tin and is a sexy gadget... but the you plug it into your speaker dock (i have tried 3 different ones) and it will play, but it won't charge your ipod. this is the same even on the bose sounddock systems and is due to a hardware change by apple to it's 'universal' data port, so it will not be fixable through apple's firmware updates.... WHY OH WHY OH WHY!!!!!

Not sure about upgrading, but if you don't own a 1G, check this new version out! It's fabulous.
It's got a real quality feel to it - great build and that classy look of a well designed pice of kit. It's fun to use and easy to setup. Emails, the WWW, games, Contacts etc are all at your finger tip(s). Excellent!
