Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • Music and audio sound great, and album art looks great, especially in cover flow
  • I love the sound on this ipod, combined with the bose sound dock or i-home especially
  • I have to pull it out of my pocket almost every time I want to pause or adjust the volume.4) Sound quality is not quite as good as my 5.5Gen Video iPod or my Archos 605, I've tried it on speakers and headphones and the Video has just a little bit cleaner smoother sound especially at high volume.5

Reviews around device (4.53 of 5)

  • This is simply an unbelievable device
  • It's not an iPhone and since the iPhone cost more Apple has crippled the device in some ways to make the more expensive iPhone look more appealing (many technology companies do this with software, see the last several releases of Windows as an example)
  • This is a great device and once you get the hang of it, a pleasure to use
  • Good Stuff:Great device with a "next gen" user interface - amazing
  • After the Iphone this is the greatest Ipod device, it allows you to play video with a great resolution and in a fair size screen in comparison with the other Ipod's

Reviews around quality (4.53 of 5)

  • Sound quality is excellent and I have had zero issues using the touch in my car with the power adaptor and fm transmitter
  • The quality of the battery was poor
  • The audio quality is excellent and there are a great number of useful EQ presets
  • Sound quality is excellent, easy to use, i am still flabergasted (i just wanted to use the word) by the technology

Reviews around player (4.26 of 5)

  • Sorry Microsoft, but as of now, you've lost the Portable Music/Video player war
  • me explain that while this is not my first portable media player, it is my first iPod
  • The good: beautiful media player with great touch screen, wifi connectivity, web browser, YouTube support, mail client and calendar and contact list
  • The bad: just a beautiful media player with great touch screen, wifi connectivity, web browser without flash support and no download abilities, YouTube support and no support for any other similar service, mail client that can only be synchronized with outdated version of Outlook Express and also calendar and contact list with the same limited list of supported partners (oh, no Google calendar, but you can import your contacts from Yahoo
  • The browser doesn't support Flash player (at least yet), so no internet radio

Reviews around video (4.18 of 5)

  • Great video quality and with my Logitech NC headphones, the rest of the world just disappears
  • There is a different "feel" to having those funny videos on the fly and showing them to friends semi-intantly
  • Look up Mad TV Iphone video on you-tube for a explanation to the "I-witch" joke
  • I held off on a portable video player till one came along that had all the features I felt were worth the cost.
  • The screen is very large for a device that fits in your pocket, and it plays some beautiful video

Reviews around screen (3.63 of 5)

  • The screen is amazing, the touch interface works perfectly
  • I used to own a Creative Zen (very cool device) but I cracked the screen and needed a new mp3/video player
  • The wide screen beats the heck out of wallet size pictures!
  • when unit is coming out of sleep mode, browsing while music is playing causes music to stop, the screen will be a horrid mess of greasy finger prints after only a few minutes of use, there is no visible way to determine charging status without pushing a button because the screen goes completely black when charging.
  • The only thing that makes me nervous, is the large beautiful screen.

Reviews around battery (1.61 of 5)

  • It was in good condition no scratches, dings, or anything like that, however, the batteries dies very quickly
  • I hate myself for only giving it three stars, but a crippled calendar application and an all-to-easy way to leave your music running and drain your battery are below the standards I have for Apple's hardware.
  • I'm not sure if I didn't condition the battery right when it was new, or if I over charged it too much early on, but that's about the only issue I have with it.
  • Still very happy with my Touch, although I did have to send in for replacement unit due to dead battery, took about two weeks but they sent me a new one and even engraved it like my original.
  • Although it drains the battery quickly, I find it useful if I'm on

Reviews around drive (1.54 of 5)

  • Only drawbacks ive found so far is that it is nearly impossible to use while driving, running, walking, chewing gum, breathing
  • I understand the Touch uses flash memory instead of a hard drive, but it makes it so that you have to choose what is on your iPod and constantly update it
  • along with any MacBook purchase (Apple MacBook MB062LL/B 13.3" Notebook PC (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, 8x SuperDrive
  • Apple's execution surprised and disappointed many, who'd been (retrospectively, unreasonably) expecting a high-capacity, hard-drive based "iPod touch"; not taking into consideration that such a drive coupled with the touch screen would cripple battery life
  • it is really the good stuff & the features are number 1, I could not ask for better & it's my first i-pod
