very good bat very expensiv

the i pod is awsome

Nothing comes near iPod touch.. I agree it doesn't support playing divx but seriously converting a 700 MB divx to iPod compatible file takes roughly 40 mins on a P4.. And you can't negate the iPod factor here.. I mean it's an iPod and it's Apple.. and it's just 12K.. I'm buyin it..

ahh good ol crApple! This thing right there is nothing but a useless piece of s**t chunk. Seriously whats the update in this...a LED screen faster processor? chuck that. What's the point of all that anyway? This thing needs videos to be converted etc etc. Cowon S9 seems like a better bet. Zune HD also but it requires video conversion as well...but I"m sure MS will release an update to enable Zune HD to play all xvid files natively. Coming back to crApple I must say that the new Nano seems good for the ammount of features it has. That seems like a decent enough player but knowing crApple what they do? They put a video camera in the Nano but you can't take pics only record videos oh boy! haha I just can't say anything more leave it to you crApple fanboys/girls to flame me I'm out lol

Bakwaas...................But sexy thing..............

I have no idea why touch screen based devices are suddenly becoming more popular. Its not just the iPod Touch, but I think full Touch devices need too much care to be abused like an MP3 player might be. Also, isn't it actually difficult to use these devices WITHOUT seeing the screen to say, change the track or pause/play or any other function that you take for granted on "buttoned" players. I have used the ipod touch just for a few days, and my frank opinion is, although it makes a great video player it makes for a very crappy audio player. Dont get me wrong, its a great device, but somehow I prefer tactile response to the new generation of all-touch no response User controls.

hey, i have owned all three iPod touches so far n the iPhone 3G as well.. i can tell u, or rather bet that once you use it even for a day, u will think abt it for days ahead.. thrz nthng lyk these devices.. i have always loved apple, although, they often dont provide features that appear basic today but they equip thr products with features that may still look great after ten years.. as a gaming device, its pretty good, if not great.. why I say that is because this is not intended to be a console, its just a music player with additional features.. you will never get the quality of a real photographer's 12 MP cam on a Samsung or Sony 12 MP phone.. so whats the point of comparing iPod touch with PSP or DS.. as far as controls go, i find the controls rather better on the touch.. at least my fingers dont pain even after hours of playing.. as far as software updates are concerned, iPhone users get it for free BECAUSE OF A REASON.. they are charged through their contracts unlike the iPod touch which is an one time payment.. n even if $10 or a $5 bother you that much for some great add ons, u can get the updates for free as well, through the internet of course.. there are many sites whose name i wont mention here.. music quality is pretty good.. poor loudspeakers, agreed.. but earphone quality rock.. you will need "louder" earphones only either if you are deaf or u wanna be deaf.. now coming to internet, iPod touch provides the best net experience.. i have known no phone/music player on which u can connect wid LAN or anything else.. so wi fi is a must.. n these days, common too.. obviously, u cant get a 3G connection or GPRS/Edge on a music player, can you?? itunes restrictions are not justified in India, i guess.. why i say india is coz majority of the population, either download the music from the net or buy those cheap MP3s.. which i do as well most of the time :P.. but apple cant make special softwares for each n every country.. n the reason why itunes store isnt availible here in India is coz no1 wud shell 50 rs to buy a single song... at least as of now, no one would.. even the reviewer wont.. n also, the speed of internet connections is nowhere compared to that of Japan n US.. so how wud u download the movies?? they are more than a GB or so.. if u download in HD with the current internet speeds in India, it will probably get downloaded by the time the sequel of the movie is released.. so all n all, whatever good or bad, all is justified.. a must buy.. if u dont have the money right now, then save some n buy it when u r done... Great gadget.. ;)

it appears that the touch is a " jack of all trades, master of none ". it looks great but is uncomfortable to hold, gets scratched easily, it is a media player yet cannot play back divx/xvid files{ a most widely used format } , it has a web browser which doesnt support flash { found on 90 % web pages i suppose } and even some thing as basic as downloading a file, it is a great gaming device but yet willl leave u dissatisfied , it has a huge memory yet i cant use it for storage purposes...considering all these drawbacks i suppose it doesnt deserve such a high rating...and for such a astronomic price point..one could get a samsung jet mobile phone which can suffice the needs of both a media player and a phone for even less the price.

oh and to add - no fm radio, no manual equalizers , bluetooth headphones will lose their controls and for such a price they dont even provide a decent pair of earphones !
