The good: Has it all: Music, videos, photos, podcasts, email, Web browsing, Internet radio, games, Nike+, Wi-Fi music downloads, and an App Store for adding thousands of custom features.

The bad: May be overwhelming to users looking for a simple music player; audio quality is average; iTunes software is required.

The bottom line: The second-generation iPod touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth.

The Ipod touch a very capable PDA



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

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
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



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)
