While it may cost a pretty penny, the iPod touch is a brilliant portable media player. The touch screen operates fluidly, and wireless connectivity adds a whole new level of options and features.
Abstract: Forget the touch-sensitive wheel that set Apple’s iPod family apart from the rest of the music and video players in the market. The iPod Touch is here and will definitely change the way we look at portable media players. But can we afford the change...
Well just look at it. Its gorgeous, Pretty interface, Best sounding iPod ever, Bright, clear and crisp widescreen, Cover Flow
Expensive and poor value, Cant be operated blind like previous iPods, Fingerprints everywhere, and scratches on the back, Thirdparty apps locked out until Feb 2008, Lots of interface quirks
If the Touch is the player that you want, that you really, really want, youve probably got one already. Fence-sitters should stay there until next year when third-party apps or version 2.0 comes out.
Great touchscreen interface, good video playback, web surfing via Wi-Fi.
Poor battery life, lacks features found in the iPhone.
So is the much-hyped Touch worth your money? It really depends on what you want out of it. Its undeniable that it is, in essence, a cut-down iPhone, and if the extra features (including Bluetooth, and unsurprisingly, telephony) of the iPhone appeal, t...

How do you fit 32GB of storage capacity into something so slim? We're more stumped than the England cricket team, but that's what Apple's done with the Touch. It can hold 7,000 tunes, making it an incredibly tempting buy, even considering its...
£290 is still a lot to lay out for a 32GB machine, even for a delicious Apple of this high calibre.
By including more storage, Apple has made the iPod Touch even more desirable. Now, if it was just a little bit cheaper...Best offers for the Apple iPod Touch 32GBApple Store £179.00 Amazon UK £209.99 Amazon Marketplace £229.00 Apple iPod To...
