The editors didn't like
Most games do not take advantage of the graphic capabilities
No camera.
Touch VoiceOver not to be confused with simpler shuffle VoiceOver
Refinements to this generation not as pronounced as in years past
This MP3 player does not have an FM tuner.
Bundled earbuds still stink. Audio file support doesnt include FLAC or OGG. Browser still lacks Flash support.
No video camera or radio
No wireless syncing or sharing options
The video cameras found on the iPhone 3GS and iPod Nano remain conspicuously absent. The lack of refinements to its audio quality
Hardware design
And video playback leave us feeling just a little uninspired.
Functionally, the new iPod touch models are identical to the second-generation models we reviewed last year, especially when updated to version 3.1 of the iPhone OS. What we said then still goes: the iPod touch is a terrific media player and portable ...

As a mere media player, you'd be hard pushed to justify the high cost of an iPod touch. But as a mobile computing device that will run 3rd party apps, play games, browse the web and play your media, it's simply unrivalled....
Theres no doubt the 8GB iPod Touch is a great games machines, and at a new low price of £149, with a wealth of decent yet cheap games just a download away, its a great choice for gamers who dont feel the need to brag of their allegiance to a gaming...
It looks the same as the touch that went before it, but on the inside the third generation touch has new processors. The claimed "50 per cent faster" performance for once lives up to its build-up. In use the touch is speedier than Cristiano Ronaldo in a F...
The new touch isn't perfect. For a start that much-rumoured video camera didn't make it in (instead getting shoved in the nano). The Voice Control, too, is only limited to the high-end iPod touch. That ramped up speed has also hit the battery life...
Not perfect, but the latest version of the touch adds some welcome and proven features from the iPhone, as well as heftier storage and some speedy performance, to keep this 'Pod at the top of its game.Apple iPod touch 3G is tagged with Apple iPod touc...
Faster performance than previous models; easy to use; great screen; good sound quality
No camera; headphone jack sits on the bottom of the player
Apple's third-generation iPod touch may lack a camera, but, offering faster performance than its predecessors and new features, like voice control, it remains the cream of the portable-media-player crop. There's really no other device out there at the...
Abstract: Apple's iPod Touch was one of the first portable audio and video players to have a touchscreen, and it remains one of the best. None of the other touchscreen players we've seen comes close to the accuracy, sensitivity or responsiveness of its slick...
Abstract: It cant have been easy for Sony to have watched its iconic Walkman brand of portable music players so completely overtaken by Apples all-conquering iPod. But like John Connor standing up to the Terminators, Sony has finally come up with a device ca...
Abstract: I'm one of PCMag's phone experts, and also a parent, so I've thought a lot about kids and phones. Mobile phones are useful, powerful, and helpful. They're also expensive, distracting, and a potential gateway to a lot of nasty things on the internet. So sh...
