The Ipod touch a very capable PDA

Mar 25, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Excellent design, useful applications, Wifi works great
Cons: Battery does not last for long time, computer dependant
Opinion:
I would say that this Ipod is Iphone without Telephony. It has an excellent Wi-fi integration, safari makes internet navigation a very good experience. It has very useful built-in apps, like a calender,weather,youtube app,notes etc. But what i find very interessting about it, is the accessibility to thousand of free and paid apps already available on Itunes.
The only negative thing, the battery runs low when wifi is active of playing vids

Pros: All of it, just simply lovable
Cons: hmmm easy to scratch back
Opinion:
i was very very satisfied with the itouch, i have no reason i have to put this gadget into rest somehow (yeah that is how i love this itouch sooo much)
the good thing is that i can download free apps without shelling out any dough out of my pocket and come on i used different mp3's this past years but tes this really won the battle all of them put into one, why? Buy one and judge for yourself.
Thanks Apple.
LOL


 

Love it! But still have plenty for improvement

Sep 27, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: The best internet surfing device, now with huge library of software like Palm.
Cons: Poor Battery life, Flash site not supported, iTunes & Genius can't be use, no file manager
Opinion:
It's not about the music playing ipod, but the unique user interface and the superior ease of use. It's not what it can do but how well ipod touch do it.

Compared with iPhone, iPod Touch do not have these:
1. Build-in Mic (It does support mic build in earphones)
2. GPS (Location may still works thru Wifi)
3. Camera (never good enough anyway)
4. GSM, GPRS, 3G network (Nokia is a better phone)
5. Bluetooth (heard that iPod Touch do have bluetooth build in but wasn't activated)

Very nice machine for the size

Sep 15, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Speaker, Hardware volume controls, sound quality
Cons: Hmmm
Opinion:
I used PC's for over 20 years, but changed to Apple platform about 2 years ago. Never looked back. Still appreciate Windows and some of their features.

I was debating on getting an iPod Touch 2G, but functionally I decided to get a Netbook: Why?
* It plays music.
* I can watch video
* It has bigger storage space.
* I can easily see the screen without squinting
* I can type easier
* I think they are better value for money
* I can be far more productive on a Netbook than a Touch

Sure, it is not as portable, but for me that is not an issue, I am not desperate to have music pounding in my ears every walking and waking moment.

* Netbooks are still very portable.
* I don't live or travel to many places that do not have electricity, so battery life is not a problem.

Looks Similiar

Sep 12, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: looks edgy !
Cons: price still steep ..
Opinion:
This 2nd gen looks somewhat similiar to the previous one, but I guess they tweaked the back cover to show its new side and just to say that its the 2nd gen, not much of improvement from the previous one but i guess the biggest change has got to be the price, a big drop but then again .. it still steep because of all the advertising going into apple market !
