Pros Slim, light weight design, apps, multifunctional
Cons Poor battery life, no speaker or physical volume buttons on first generation 
Recommended it? Yes

Immediately after seeing the iPhone keynote address, I was mesmerized.  The device was a brand new concept; it was a complete game changer.  I wanted one, and I waned one badly.  I did not, however, want that data plan and expensive phone plans that came came with... Read full review »

Pros Tons of storage space, and many FREE things to do on your IPod!

The Apple Ipod Touch provides great entertainment for all ages. There are many free applications, games, and music products from Apple that you can put on your Ipod. I even have some apps on there for my 16 month old son, like an adorable piano that plays just like a real one and he... Read full review »

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros There are many useful and simple to use features
Cons There are features that are not included in the first generation of the iPod touch
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great product. I have been using this product for years now and is still as quick and reliable as ever. I bought this product because the touch interface had caught my eye, but this was at the time that the app store had not been made yet. Once the app store came out the iPod was 10-fold...

Nothing special

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very nice display
Cons Not useful and extremely overprised.
