Apple iPod Touch - 3rd Gen

This is the most wonderful gift I ever have. Aside from it is owned and maintained by Apple Inc., it has many features that is almost the same with an iPhone.

Well recommended.

I bought my iTouch about 2 years ago, and I really did think it was great. It had all the functions of an iPhone, minus the ability to send a receive calls. I used to use it everyday, to listen to music, play games, wake me up, or just to note down things I needed to do. But then something tragic happened. I decided to charge it (as you do) and the screen turned white. As yet I have still not managed to get it fixed, as Apple have decided to charge me £100 for this service. The iTouch is worth the money, if it doesn't die.

iPod Touch (3rd generation)

The iPod Touch is really cool, here are reasons why it's entertaining. One, while you're listening to music it's super clear. The iPod Touch has lots of fun games, some (not a lot) you have to pay, but not all of them. You have to pay for all the music. Depending on the gigabytes, you can download as many apps as you want. The iPod Touch is so fun!

When I purchased my I-Pod Touch for Christmas I was excited to have a new mp3 player that I could connect to the internet with and enjoy the vast list of applications to preoccupy my time with if I got bored. I found it to be a fun gadget but with some annoying issues.

Firstly the positives.

1) Touch screen interface is beautifully smooth and fun.

2) Internet works very well and viewing pages has never been easier with a simple zoom and scroll function.

3) Thousands of applications that can turn it into a little handheld gaming device or a musical piano.

4) Perfect screen that's a nice size to view videos or pictures.

Now the negatives.

1) You cannot gain access to the internet without Wi-Fi connection; whereas an I Phone can connect to the web without WI-Fi and play music like an IPod.

2) Shaking the IPod even slightly causes the music to shuffle and play a song at random, this was often irritating as I'd forget to click the lock button out of habit and it would jump songs as I walked.

3) I enjoy my playlists which are often very long and if I wanted to skip a song, I'd have to take the IPod out of my pocket, un-lock it, press the next button and then re-lock before putting back in my pocket, which I found irritating.

4) Screen and casing smudges/marks very easily making the IPod look dirty, so had to buy a special cloth and case to prevent dirty marks and scratches.

In the end I sold my IPod Touch to my friend and replaced the battery on my classic IPod, as I missed the simplicity of skipping songs and not worrying about locking/unlocking or walking too fast and causing my Touch to shuffle music. If the main purpose of you buying the Pod is just listening to music and you're not bothered with applications or internet, my suggestion is to buy a Classic/Nano Pod which is far more simplistic. However, if you want something to play with and use to get your mails at home quicker etc than it's a very good option if you can't afford the I Phone.

I got my iPod touch about 5 weeks ago and was very happy. As the price was quite high (I bought on the Apple store online), I thought the quality to be good.

However, yesterday I spilled some water over it and it stopped working.

I was in shattered, in tears.

I called Apple and they said the fix would cost 80GBP, a discounted rate but still half the price of a new one.

I am so sad because now I can see that the high price I paid was only for the brand/Marketing of the company :(.

I purchased the 3rd generation iPod touch on new years eve, for £209.00 from amazon. This was an Update to replace my first generation iPod touch.

Well what can I say, Apple always make out standing devices; some of them do come at a price to pay. The 3rd generation iPod touch is twice as fast as the 1st and 2nd generations. If you do update from the 1st/2nd generation you will notice a huge speed increase.

When 4.0 is released the 3rd generation iPod touch will really shine. It will support multitasking, personalised backgrounds (on the spring board) and many more features. This is going to be a big update for all iDevices.

I am happy with my 3rd generation iPod touch, and I really think if your looking into buying one, go for the 32gb or the 64gb you will be happy when iOS4 is released!

3rd generation ipod touches are quite different depending on the capacity. The 8gb version has exactly the same hardware as the 2nd generation and is therefore the same as the 8gb 2nd generation ipod touch. However, the 32gb and 64gb version have different hardware and Apple says that they can be up to 50% faster. My 32gb model is fast, attractive and a great investment. My only real issue is that it needs to be in a WiFi zone to use the internet and lots of apps. Therefore, apps such as "Toilet Finder" do not work when you are out and about. Also, the chrome back is a scratch magnet! BUY A CASE AND SCREEN PROTECTOR TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT. Overall, I think it is quite good value for money as you can get loads of free apps. Really good product.

The iPod Touch is a really cool device and I think that it is very worthy for the money that one pays for it! Also, the device has several nice features like Wifi and internet and it continues to deliver really good music output! The clarity of songs and videos in this device is really outstanding. Also, the 32 GB version is the best as it can hold a lot of data and the 64 GB model is also good! It is a must have gadget for any geek!

AMAZING
