Both the Creative Zen Creative Zen 16 GB (Black), which is much thicker, and the Sansa View SanDisk Sansa View 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black), which is taller, have some of those added components built in.

The old Creative Vision W Creative Zen Vision W 60 GB Widescreen Multimedia Player (Black) had a lovely display, but was MUCH thicker.

I have a Creative Zen Vison M which is 30 gb of HD space

No expandability or SD card slot like Sansa View or Creative Zen- iTunes software with limited native formats (MP3, MPEG4, AAC) and high

Most apps are not compatible with the version of IOS that's on it.

New apps work great and give you stocks, maps, email, notes and weather+ Supports both NTSC and PAL

the note pad included in this version is one of the greatest apps ever added to this ipod

The thing about having outdated software is that a lot of awesome apps became available since its heyday

Why, with a beautiful, glass, widescreen display, would Apple design a video iPod with only 16GB of available drive space?

I like very much, is good, the best in music for videos, Internet, good display, the resolution fine, and when I go everywhere can I use

The old Creative Vision W Creative Zen Vision W 60 GB Widescreen Multimedia Player (Black) had a lovely display, but was MUCH thicker.

There's a lot of apps you cannot buy from it being the old model, as well as it has no camera, other than that the ipod is good to go

Great display and easy to use - two of Apple's strengths.

VERY VERY WELL.ConclusionOverall this device is an HUGE improvement.

I think of it this way: For the price you can get a more full-featured Mac mini, which also runs OS X and can do more things with more programs (for now), but lacks a screen and input device, and isn't portable

Or you can get the 32GB iPod Touch, which does have a screen and a rather innovative input device, and does a lot of the things you'd probably do with your Mac mini every day

the addition of the App Store on iTunes, this iPod has become the best portable device I've ever owned

As I fondly call it the "iTouch", it is a great device for someone who bought it as his first iPod

Wireless searching and video on mode can be disabled to extend battery life+ Great interface for Safari web browsing with easy Wifi

I prefer my Apple laptop interface, but the PC is fine.

Some poor interface designs, such as volume control only available when upright- PDA functions such as calendar syncing and contact management still need work- Playlist and music groupings are lacking and need many

While I really love the touch interface, it's impossible to change tracks or volume without looking at the player, an awkward trait.

Instead of having to run Windows software with codecs and dealing with constant problems, you get seamless iTunes connectivity with the fantastic Coverflow interface.

Photos look great, and the music sounds fantastic through headphones or my car stereo.

The music application is wonderful and with a simple accesory, I use it to play on my car stereo system, which make my kids happy because I am able to store all of their favorite music on it, as well as my own.

Some poor interface designs, such as volume control only available when upright- PDA functions such as calendar syncing and contact management still need work- Playlist and music groupings are lacking and need many

but i lost all my music

The only drawback was that all my music is loaded on my Apple laptop with a non-compatible O/S (an older laptop) - but fortunately I have another PC

I really like this companion.everything is great!the application, which you can download through wifi from installer are perfect.the only one thing I would like to have in this player is loudspeeker.with it would be awesome

These applications are fantastic but also useless if you live in an area without many wifi hotspots

OMG what a locked-down piece of garbage, just as bad as Sony music interface application

When Apple releases the iPhone SDK, versions of VNC, Scrabble, and other applications may become available that will make it even more useful

iPods+ Apple reputation is highly deserved+ Plenty of free video and audio teaser content available on iTunes+ Easy access to iTunes right from your device over your local wireless internet!+ Apple SDK being made available which means more apps are on the way!Cons- Touch design is almost too minimal without hold button or easy

With the wonderful video capabilities I've been adding music videos and home videos too

The big 320x480 pixel wide-screen is simply gorgeous, and the instant landscape mode combined with high quality video resolution makes this the first truly beautiful mobile video player.

The awesome video, sleek thin body and web capability make it stand out despite a high price and some missing features

I got this to replace the 80gig video ipod i accidentally junked before i deployed.

The iPod touch is by far the most advnced, easy to use, and enjoyable mp3 player on the market.

It's nice to not have to drag around those extra DVD cases and player.

Since I bought the iPod touch, i've never used any other portable player

Now, I am left with an expensive MP3 player and an empty wallet.

But I just love the features on this, while the inteface isn't as great as other players its still very sweet if you love gadgets.

3rd gen ipod and a 8gb 2g ipod nano that both the ipod classic and the ipod touch have much better sound quality and are much more durable

Sound and VideoSound quality is slightly improved from previous models.

The sound quality is mediocre at best

The sound quality on the other had is just okay its not stellar but its not honorable

(For best sound quality, I configured my rips to be 320 kbps MP3s.

Amazing!!!!32GB is an extremely reasonable size and especially since it is designed for movie and TV show viewing

width+ Orientation detection changes view to landscape mode automatically when turning iPod!+ Enough capacity to finally be worth replacing some of your disk-based players in earnest+ Brighter screen with great contrast and crisp sharp images+ Wireless access via 802.11 b/g compliant antenna (hopefully `n' will come

My 3.5 star review is assuming that this gets fixed in a future update (either by adjusting the temperature, or offering a way for the end-user to do so - apparently this was the case with earlier 16GB models).Next problem: SortingThe iPod touch is obviously designed for video

The larger screen for watching movies is awesome -- you can now read subtitles and small print in the movies!If you're able to reload your content often, then a cheaper 16GB model is probably fine.

This is my fourth MP3 player; I've been using a second generation 20Gb iPod since 2002 but it died last year

Good form factor, fast processor, incredible screen, and a large hard drive.

I ended up getting this right when it came out to replace my 80gb ipod classic because of the screen size and the interference

It is hard to watch my old video ipod after looking at the bright screen

I couldn't understand why not the WHOLE front of the device was a screen, creating not only a stunning look but also a real Wide-Screen

so thats about my only disapointment, the screen is scratch

I have really been enjoying the iPod Touch and have filled it with an assortment of music and different tv shows, and movies.

Additionally, the iPod Touch is very easy to use and has become one of the items I don't leave home without

It has a very smooth and sensitive touch screen when compared to knockoffs

I think IPOD touch feels clumsy.**Touch screen not sensitive enough

The Touch blows everything else away in terms of looks and design
