Apple iPod Touch (1st Generation)

Good – Overall the product is good, no complaints although it didnt break in the first month but they give you a brand new replacement so no problems there! The i-pod is a great entertainment tool, from music, apps, and videos. Can keep you entertained for hours. Good to watch videos or keep you alive on the train. The apps add up and end up costing you… Read more ·  1

quiet abit, and their never as good as you assume them to be. Everyone has an i-pod or i-phone, its ridicously annoying. And all the downloads of music videos cost you the same in a shop but dont forget how much internet your wasting and how it will show in your bill. Your music only stays on i-tunes

Good – Overall the ipod touch is a great media player. The graphics and really great on the ipod touch and the sound player and the great touchcreen add to make the opod touch so good. A great media player- 4 stars out of 5!!! The I-Pod touch is simply a remarkable portable media player. The touch screen is highly sensitive and is great to play your… Read more

favourite aps and games on. Listening music is easy and playing videos is easily as easy. The graphics and screen colour is great and perfect. The ipod touch has set space capabilities. Sometimes it's really annoying deleating some stuff becuase you have run out of space.

Terrible – Buy the Chinese rip off as it is easier to use and can save you a fortune. Why any one would want this is beyond me, even my wife? Touch screen products are made to steel your money as the touch screens dont last long None to talk about but it keeps my wife happy. An absolute waste of money . What a piece of junk . Hard to work out . To hard to… Read more

put files on?

Instructions were writen by a moron and are to hard to under stand. !!

There are better and cheaper ones out of China

Excellent – We have two iPod Touches and we love them for both the music and the applications you can download. These are such fun and such amazing value for money. We use the calendar/diary and contacts to store everyones details. Holds a lot of music. We also use it as a stereo with a docking station which is brilliant when entertaining or even when you… Read more

travel on holidays! Yes, the games do loose some novelty with time, however we still come back to them regularly (and buy ones). We also area able to use it through our wirless network at home (or wherever you can access one) and this is great if you are watching TV and want to google something or hear a sing and want to download it then and there. Have never regretted buying this product. Easy to use, great apps, great calendar. Good fun piece of technology. Fast to charge on a docking station. Fragile - you have to take care not to drop it, scratch it etc. Battery does decrease quickly when you are using the screen eg. for games. Slow to charge via computer.

Excellent – I love the iPod Touch. The apps you can buy (and some are free) are awesome and seemingly almost limitless to the types you can buy these days. The free ones are pretty good too. Wi-Fi is a genius idea (however limited to where you can get a wi-fi connection) and a far cheaper option for browsing than what your mobile carrier provides. I… Read more

definitely wouldn't get any other type of player for my music or vids while out and about. I actually prefer it over the iPhone because I'd hate to accidentally stuff up my phone contacts etc. and I don't like to pay extra for browsing (which you can accidentally do if you forget to change the settings on the iPhone) It has pretty much all the features of the iPhone (bar the actual calling, sms or gps) at a fraction of the cost. Wi-Fi is great, apps are awesome and it plays music and videos! The memory of the 2nd Gen iPod Touch isn't great which causes some apps to stall if it uses too much memory. I hate that you can't use your own music for the alarm. Not being able to download/install any add-ons to the browser means it can't do flash, shockwave etc.

Good – The Apple iPod Touch is a solid product, and the sleekness and usability increases if you get the second generation iPod Touch. I'll say that the iPod Touch is an easy to use, stable device. Though personally I think I've seen all it has to offer. There are tons of games, movies, and music to download for it. It accepts MP3, AAC, and WAV I… Read more

believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Okay, I just looked up a list of formats it accepts. Here's the formats (music) that it accepts:

AAC, protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple lossless, WAV, and AIFF.

Also, I must mention. There has been only one notable problem with it. It sometimes will not allow me to enter my apps. I have only been able to fix this by deleting redownloading all my apps. Which you can do, once you've bought something on the app store it will stay forever. This is tedious and ridiculous, I hope they fixed this bug in iPhone OS 3.0. Overall, if you want a dependable music player with good style and the ability to play both games and movies, this is for you! It has a sleek design, and is very usable. I got the 16GB and it has plenty of space. Watching movies on it is easy and fast, and if you already have them there are tools to convert movies and video files to iPod. I think it may be a bit over priced for the amount of space. I really think Apple should add a micro SD slot to it. This would make it so much easier to expand. Though I doubt Apple will ever give up on making you buy a new iPod every time you want more space. Besides that it's a solid device. I haven't had it crash on me or anything.

Good – The iPod touch is my favourite of all the iPods by Apple, but I think that it needs to be made of the same scratch resistant metal as the iPod nano. I highly recommend it. The iPod touch is a really great buy, because you can get the internet (with a wireless router), without having to pay over one thousand dollars for an iPhone and all the… Read more

outrageous mobile internet bills. The iPod touch has a beautiful sleek design and fits perfectly in your hand. Its display is really easy to use and has very few glitches. The glossy metal case on the back is extremely scratchable, although there are many cases you can buy for it. It is also quite inconvenient to not have a wall charger (although my iPod dock charges it).

Excellent – Probably one of the best devices that i have ever bought, would definately recommend it to anyone who needs to buy a pda/mp3 player and who wants to play games at the same time. It is affordable and is worth its value It has a sleep design that makes it appealing to consumers. Great graphics and has many features that allows the user to play… Read more

games, watch movies, listen to music, read documents and so much more. There are thousands of apps that allow many different uses from this portable device. Many people have it, so it is not so unique

Good – I was looking for the camera this time around - many people were. However, we just had to make do with improved graphics and new software. It wasn't a disappointment - the camera is sure to come in the near future. Apple will just have to pull something amazing out of the bag to make this ipod amazing. We're expecting the camera, possibly two -… Read more

but what else could make this unbeatable? I guess only time will tell. A great portable ipod, but I was expecting something more. Brilliant song display, games, sound, definition, portability. Expensive, didn't quite live up to high expectations.

OK – The ipod touch is a great piece of equipment, with wifi capabilitys, large touch screen and and good graphics. It is fairly simple to use and their are hundred of apps you can get to use. The only issue I have with this iPod is that sometimes, when using apps the touch screen wont work at all and and I have to exit my game. This can get a bit… Read more

annoying. Also, even when using an iPod hard case, the back of my iPod is scratched and the side has come aways from the screen. This however does not effect my use of the iPod. There is also an issue with the battery life, when I use an app or acsess the internet wirelessly my battery seems to die on the hour and Im constantly charging it. But all an all this would be my favourite iPod. Large touch screen, great sound. Battery life isn't long, scratches easily.

OK – A couple of weeks ago I bought the Ipod touch as it is something I always wanted and it was on sale at a store for $200 for an 8GB one. The thing that always amazed me about it was that it was touch and you could have applications on it that you enjoy and never be bored! To be honest, I had an ipod before, and the only reason I was interested in… Read more

this product was because of the touch screen and the applications you can use for it. Most trial appliactions are for free, but you usually have to pay a dollar or two for the good ones. The ipod touch actually got boring pretty quickly and now I only use it for music. It's a good new piece of technology to have, but nothing special enough to rush in a and try to get. Great big touch screen Battery life isn't that great.

Bad – I had never had an ipod. With all the hype about them i thought i would try it. I dont settle for second best, so i got the best ipod touch on the market, 32gb gen 2 $550. It was very disappointing. This device is very limited. You can only play 2 types of media, mp4 and mp3. The program "itunes" which is what you use to put media on the ipod,… Read more

is very difficult to manage. It is not as simple as drag and drop. There is an obstacle course (courtesy of apple) that you have to endure just to put media on the 32gb flash drive. The touch screen is impressive, but the incompatibility issues and fragility of the item is too much for me to swallow. For an item this expensive that is new and modern, it really lacks special features and is too limited. You will get bored of it real quick.

If you love spending hours converting files this is ideal. If you like simple reliable items, keep away from this item. Excellent user interface. Looks extremely stylish. Light, headphone sound is clear and detailed. Touch screen is the best. Compatibility is extremely bad. Back and front of itouch is very easily marked with fingerprints. not enough options. Internal speakers have VERY low sound. Over priced and over rated.

Good – I had not upgraded from my old ipod classic, and this was a great suprise. Music, yes, it plays that. But let's face it...the app. store is where it is at! My kids have stolen it over and over to amuse themselves at the doctors or any other appointments. Overall I think it overdelivers for the price (I got mine in the low $200 range). It… Read more

holds it's battery for a long time, Ive taken it camping and played it nonstop for over a day. Stylish looking, holds charge well, inexpensive, FUN! I would love a camera on it. It would add to the overall package.

Excellent – Overall the ipod touch is strongly reccommended and is great to own. There are many more positive things about the ipod touch than negative. There are many things that are positive about the apple ipod touch. you are able to surf the net where ever you can access the internet. The music you put on it is sorted in alphabetical order and you able to… Read more

search for which song you want to listen to, this makes listening to your ipod touch much easier. The apps that are there to start with a great to help you be organised. What i dislike about the ipod touch is that it is a little more expensive than it is worth. Also it doesn't come with a wall charger.

Excellent – A 14 year old friend gave us the hard sell on this product and we purchased within a week. With an international flight coming up we wanted an entertainment source with a decent battery life. After looking at Ipod Nanos, Nintendo DS this proved to offer the most for the best value. Not only are there numerous applications available for free or a… Read more

small price but you can load up your music and photos and take them with you. The DS games didnt provide half the entertainment and are all so expensive! 8GB provided enough space for a truckload of music and heaps of games, the design is sleek, the battery life is generous and the screen is a decent size! Reasonable price considering what it can do. No camera.

Excellent – I had my Ipod touch for the music and the photos at first but then i became addicted to the app store, there is an app for anything, you name it you've got it. I use it all day for a wide range of tasks, from news to weather, listening to music and play. I love the design and ease of use. I had a problem with the battery, it started to burn but I… Read more

took an appointment to an apple store they asked me to back up the files before coming. In 5 min I had a new Ipod. Great costumer service and on time! If you have any problem go to an apple store even if you didn't bought it there. the swiss knife of the modern age!!! A wide range of use battery life is short depending on the apps you use

Excellent – The iPod touch is one of apple's greatest devices yet. It is a great hange from their previous iPods and has many new features, such as a touch screen (of which could be seen as a pro or a con, depending on the individual), the all-new applications which vary from games to utilities, protecting your iPod with a pin code and the screen changes… Read more

direction when you tilt the screen. I highly reccomend the iPod touch to everyone who is looking for a new mp3 player. It can access the Internet using wifi, can play music, games, videos, podcast and YouTube videos. Has microphone features. Nice shape and size. The applications kill off the battery far too quickly. The screen scratches very easily and it breaks very easily when dropped.

Excellent – The Apple iPod Touch is the ultimate personal/portable entertainment system. I use mine for games, music, music videos, podcasts, diary, alarm and internet - just to name a few. The apps are reliable and I am surprised at the amount of free applications available via the online apple apps store. It is great for travelling, as the slimline case… Read more

makes it easy to carry on your person or in a pocket or handbag. As an additional bonus, friends now find it easy to give me a gift, with itunes cards. It's pretty important to remember to take your charger with you though, as games and videos chew up the battery life quickly. Wireless internet capability, Music, Videos, Podcasts, slimline model, memory/storage capacity. Battery life

Good – its the best i pod you will love it if you have one or if u just use one you will love it. i love my one i can not live with out and they can be brought with heaps of memory like my one.it has a really clear screen. if u put pictures on it they are not cramped up they big and clear. you can also do slide shows on it i love my ipod touch. its… Read more

really good i love mine. its really easy to scroll thro the music just one flick on the screen and you can be at the bottom straight away or just touch the letter on the side and you will see the all of your music beging with that letter if you have long nails the touch screen is a bit hard.

Good – Overall the iPod touch is a great music/video/game player. The main thing i personly dont like about it is the fact that the back of it gets so dirty and is really hard to clean, i would recommend getting a case for it. The apps that are available from the iTunes store are fairly cheap, but can also be way overpriced. The built in sound speakers… Read more

are not that good for listening to music or watching videos, but can be perfect for playing games. I personly love the multi-touch display, which is perfect for playing games, this is what seperates the iPod Touch from the other portable game consoles. Perfect 3.5 inch screen display, Its Thin, Great sound quality, Able to connect to internet, Great portable game player Internet is slow, Back of device is a finger print magnet, Games sometimes crash, Short battery life, Bad quality on the sound speakers

Excellent – I recently purchased an Ipod Touch and so far I love it! I have downloaded about 20 free apps and they are all great fun games that keep me amused for hours. As well as the 20 apps, I have my large music and photo collection stored and I still have not run out of memory. I think the short battery life is probably due to how many apps I have on it,… Read more

so I guess that is not really a con. The sound is great and I am looking forward to testing out the Wifi capabilities on it! Great design, easy to use, so many fantastic apps available. Short battery life, should have FM radio.

Excellent – I really think that i bought a good product, i can view my photos, videos and play games. I like the idea of how you touch it and slide it, it just makes me feellike i'm in the future. I also like how you have free stuff on ittunes to put on it, i like to put on a lot of apps and even though i have 8GB it is barely even full yet so i also liked… Read more

the smallness of programs which was good. You can use the touch screen The sound speakers on it aren't loud enough

Excellent – I have had mine for over a year and normally I was one of those anti ipod people but now after using it I must say its brilliant especially when you can acess the internet from it and play games - it's just so easy to use and unlike almost every other touchscreen device made these are easy to use and they are just sensitive enough to be pretty… Read more

much perfect especially when typing! Good quality sound, so easy to use and you can get apps for it. I wish it was easier to upload videos onto the unit and it would be good to have the ability to use music as an alarm.

Excellent – Overall it's the best device I ever had and i wouldn't trade it for almost nothing. This is probably the best apples product. Like accelorometer alot. And its perfect for listening to music. Maby that special youtube program that you cant delete.

Good – Overall very happy with item. Probably should have only bought a 8 gb rather then my 16 gb only for the reason that I thought I could load it with my own DVDs. Love it best mp3 I have had yet plus all the apps to muck around with while listening to ur favourite songs. Real handy wifi if you want to quickly google something or check ur emails.… Read more

Battery dies fast about 2 hours of playing apps and also unless you prepaid to pay 20 dollars to download a huge movie to watch on a 3.5" screen forget about it's video playing device because you can't copy ur own to it.

Good – I would highly recommend the iPod touch to anyone who wants a device that does a variety of tasks. You can surf the web, listen to music, watch movies, view photos, create memos for yourself, check email and play games. The sheer variety of programs is worth the fairly steep price of the system. It is also very user-friendly. A very stylish and… Read more

compact iPod. I love the way it can do a large number of things. It is like a small laptop. The App Store also provides thousands of cheap and free games to play. It is fast. Applications launch almost instantaneously. The touch screen is very intuitive and easy to use, making all the interactions smooth. The 8GB model was too small for my needs, but the next size up is 32GB and this involves a large price jump. It can get a little heavy when holding it to watch movies. The battery seems to drain really quickly. As with all Apple products, the range of movie files you can play is limited, so this involves a lot of converting files.

Good – I bought an 8Gb Touch for my son and it just works. We have it hooked up to the home WiFi network and he is able to browse the internet, go to youtube and facebook. One of the silly things is the fact that he cannot use Safari to watch flash videos. This makes no sense and is a source of some frustration. One issue is the low memory for the price.… Read more

We are realising that 8Gb for a music player that also doubles up as a web browser and a game player is not very much. The huge range of free and non free apps is a huge plus. The fact that Apple products cost more in Australia than in the US shows the lack of respect that Apple have for the Australian consumer Beautifully made, works very well, great range of apps Very expensive, some illogical issues with the software, costs way way more in Australia as compared to the US

Excellent – I've had my iPod touch for over two years now. It's been strewn in my uni bag without any care and it is still going strong. Unlike the old hard disk based iPod, this one is solid state memory and hence is built to last. I've dropped to onto cement twice now, and apart from a few scratches on the side it has not skipped a beat! For style, variety… Read more

and reliability, you really can't go past the iPod touch as a music player! Looks fantastic, simple to use, the programs available for it are limitless. Back isn't scratch resistant at all. The front holds up a little better, though still gets scratched.

Excellent – Great mp3 with loads of features and uploads, has all up to date games some are free some arent free. easy to use and fun for every one to use. is a overall great and easy oduct, would recommend the I touch to anyone in need of a MP3 player with extras nice slim design, great applications and updates, has loads of free software, great galleries… Read more

option, postcasts, games, and backups from your computer battery life is not so great, back of the I touch gets scratched easy unless u have a leather cover.

Good – Much cheaper to purchase overseas!! $350 compared to the price quoted here. Very happy with it and seems to be better than the small ipods very user friendly and simple to use, able to access the internet if you forget to lock it when not in use, the battery drains quickly

Excellent – This is my first iPod, but I have lots of friends who have had other iPods and they always comment that this one is the best. It has a large amount of memory - I have the 16GB one - I have never run out of memory. It is very easy to use as well. This Ipod is really easy to use and is very compact and thin, so it fits into a pocket for bag very… Read more

easily. You can download applications and games to it easily. I also found it very easy to watch movies on it, as it has a large screen that it easy to view. As with all Apple products, it is a bit expensive, but well worth it I think.

Good – Overall this is a great ipod, with many features. You can download applications for most things that you want on there, and the wifi capabilities mean that you can go onto the internet from your ipod, which is a great feature! The touch screen is good, i would suggest having a screen protector as this reduces finger marks, is easy to wipe and… Read more

provents scratching, and a plastic hard cover to protect it. The only thing i would say is that it is really close to an iphone, and i would suggest if you can, getting the iphone instead, as it does more/better things! I would personally say it's the best ipod on the market (excluding the iphone) Perhaps a bit over-priced, but most apple ipod products are.

Excellent – I use mine about three hours a day, every day of the week. Love it. I fly a lot. This is so much better to use on a plane for a personal entertainment system than a lap top as it takes up so much less room. I also do shift work so I can watch all my favourite news and other programs as a padcast during my lunch breaks. Only buy an 8Gb. You… Read more

have to recharge fairly regularly. So just swap files around on iTunes when you recharge. Easy. Cheaper. I find too much data on any portable device is difficult to navigate. At a fraction of the price of an iPhone this is a great product. I bought a phone, a good camera and an iPod touch for less than the cost of an iPhone. As with the iPhone you can not bluetooth photos. Blue tooth is only for connecting with printers or other apple products. Can not send a photo from your phone to your iPod photo libaray.

Excellent – The iPod touch is great, but I feel it's become a bit redundant ever since the iPhone came out! The speaker quality is great and it's really simple to use. The games and apps are heaps of fun. 16 GB might not be enough for some people though, I'm glad it comes in 32 GB too! All the different apps you can put on it. Much more fun than a normal… Read more

iPod. A very large screen. The screen is a dirt magnet! Since you're touching everything with your dirty fingers, the screen gets really dirty and hard to see.

Excellent – We brought this instead of a portable DVD player so our daughter would have something to watch on trips away. She is two and it has been an ABSOLUTE Godsend!!!! My husband and I have wasted hours of our life on all the different applications LOL I am almost tempted to buy him one himself... or rather, buy the 32GB for myself and give him the… Read more

16GB.

do yourself a favour and buy one today! I love the different applications that you can d/l. I love the fact that it has an inbuilt speaker so I can listen to music whilst I'm in the bath or just running around the house. The screen is big enough to watch movies/tv shows on it. It is so simple to use that my 2.5yo can play games, watch movies or listen to music at the touch of her own fingers. the 16GB just isn't big enough and I wish I had of gone bigger.

It does freeze up every now and then and sometimes it has trouble connecting to our WIFI.

For some reason I can not get a GPS of my current location.

Apple headphones hurt my ears.
