Cheap Apple iPod Reviews #5 : Apple iPod touch 8 GB with Software Upgrade

Not Perfect BUT Highly Functional

This is a product that sucessfully mixes form & function. The IPOD TOUCH looks great with it's minimalistic design, and it performs to or above your expectations. I am happy with my purchase, but here are some things that you might considering before making your own purchase.

PROs
- Looks good, Apple always make there products look good, clean, hip.
- Applications (Calender, notepad, browser, contacts, email, etc.) allow you to treat it like a PDA.
- The Safari Web Browser has better navigation than anything else out
(better than browsers on PSP or Archos PMP)and in my experience the load time is much better, too.
- Full Keyboard, with easy access to (numbers & symbols.) There is a short learning curve, but that is to be expected. As a bonus the Ipod touch does also have a spell check/suggestor.
- Maps(application)basically gives you a free "GPS"(If you can access some WiFi in you present location)


CONs
- Highly suseptible to scratches, get a case & a screen cover(s)
- No hold button - If you bump the power button while it is in your pocket it will likely turn on & juice the battery.
- Terrible Battery Life (I have to charge mine every night)

KNOCKs (would've been nice, but not a reason not to buy)
- For $300 you would think you would get a larger amount of memory.
- You can only see streamed videos at YouTube or Flash format.
- No zooming on your videos, but you can adjust wide screen/pan scan.
- A free video converter would've been awesome, but Apple wants you to buy Quicktime Pro. If you're happy paying for all your videos this isn't gonna be a problem. If you download most or all of your video content your gonna need a video converter, I got and highly recomend AVS Video Converter it converts ANY FILE to be acessible to ANY DEVICE.
- It would've been nice to have an internal speaker, but we all knew it didn't have one when we bought em.

Best buy I had in a long time

I bought an 16GB ipod touch after take a deep look at my friends one. 16GB of memory and just a tad bigger video screen wasn't so appealing at first glance, however when I made more research and watch how the safari web browser worked, the wifi connectivity and a cool handy virtual keyboard, I decided that I needed to get one of these ASAP, the price dropped when the 32GB was launched so I bit the bullet and placed the order on amazon.

Since it arrived 2 weeks ago I take it with me everywhere, I don't even take my laptop to the college anymore, this is all I need to take notes, check my email, stay online on msn, watch some vids on youtube and surf the web for any required information.

After the mandatory jailbreak you start to see the ipod touch as something pretty useful, I installed wikipedia, mxtube, iphysics, translation dictionarys and some games to keep myself entertained everywhere I go.

The wireless works pretty good, the GUI is impressive, keyboard is a big small but it's possible to get used to it and be able to type very quick with no mistakes.

The ipod touch has gone beyond any of my expectations, all my friends want to buy one after see what is this little gadget is capable of.

The downsides I noticed are minor stuff, however I'll mencion them anyway: there is no copy paste command on safary, safary stops the browsing if there is any flash video, the chromed back can be scratched very easy, I only use it for 5 minuted and already had some parts with some deep tracks, so you might want to consider a best skins ever full body skin.

I recommend this item very much

Cheap Apple iPod Reviews #3 : Apple iPod nano 8 GB Black (3rd Generation)

A Downgrade from the 2nd Generation Nano

By Bookworm & bibliophile (Long Island, NY)

The 3G Ipod Nano is everything you'd expect or want from an Ipod: its small, sleek & has good sound quality. But as far as ease-of-use, its a downgrade from the 2nd Generation Nano. First, this version does not comme with Itunes software, so if you don't already have the software, you'll have to download it. Also, the Ipod itself is less user-friendly than the last version. The 2G Ipod had the "lock" botton on the top of the unit, and set in for easy use. The lock switch on the 3G is almost flush with the unit, and so small that you need to use a fingernail rather than a fingertip to move it, risking breaking it each time. Lasly, when in 'rest' mode (that is, you were listening to the Ipod, but not scrolling through the library) the 2G Ipod would list the name of the song playing & the number of songs remaing on the current album/playlist, etc., so you'd know, without having to scroll, how many songs were left in your set. The 3rd Generation Ipod displays only a clock. You need to "unlock" the Ipod again & scroll through the music to see what's playing. Not a huge deal, but if you prefer just laying back & listening to your music, this version is far less user-friendly than the last version.

iPod Nano 3rd generation

By L. Barnhart (Mechanicsburg, PA, US)

To me having an mp3 player is essential! I use it while I'm working all the time. I had my first ipod nano for nearly 3 years and when it started not lasting the entire day I decided to upgrade rather than having the battery replaced, since I had beaten and used my first one unbelievably. I love it, I don't really need a video screen although it's neat how the album covers flash through. If I'm going to watch a movie I'll do it on a bigger screen! But I listen to books and music and on my old one I had to keep less on it now I have 5 audio books and my favorite music on it and there's room for more! I like ordering through amazon, the discount on the ipod was nice but when you order through Apple you have to sign for your purchase and I'm not home during the day and so it's really a pain to coordinate someone being here. Through Amazon I got one day deliver through amazon prime for just 3.99 and I didn't have to sign for it. Plus my UPS guy knows I'm not home till the night and often he comes after 5! So I'm extremely pleased with my purchase!
