so convenient when on vacation to check e-mail and the sound quality is excellent.

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

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

Sound and VideoSound quality is slightly improved from previous models.

Easy to set-up, Great sound quality, Very intuitive-will switch from portrait to landscape by just turning the iPod, AWESOME picture when watching video, stores a ton of songsCons: Must plug it into computer to recharge it or buy separate charger, after hours of use, headphones hurt my ears-I'll have to get another set, wi-fi will not work on my college's wireless Internet, have to look at it to adjust volumeGreat productivity tool

ATRAC (now defunct) allowed a stupendous amount of music on the Sony device at decent quality

And the supposedly amazing technical qualities of course

I've bought a refurbished ipod from Amazon before and each time you want to make sure you're getting the best quality and a great price.

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

The sound quality is mediocre at best

Unlike iPod classic, all flash memory means less failures and breakage+ Flash memory also awesome for running / working out, though I use my nano for that ;-)+ Coverflow actually works nicely on the Touch, much better than on the iPod nano+ Slightly better sound quality than 2nd

It's a small device and looks like one of things sacrificed is the sound quality because of a smaller, more power-efficient DAC.The largest drawback to the iPod touch is the battery life

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
