I have just received this and s for my son's birthday in a couple of wks. I am absolutely delighted with it, I bidded for a few on e-bay but am so glad I found this site. I ordered it and from the moment my order was submitted I had non stop correspondance from the company. The ipod itself looks brill, not switched on yet but harly a mark on the back and a brand new screen with the protectve film, brand new earphones and plastic case as well. My son will be really pleased with it and cannot fault the product at all.

“Its probally the best device that i have owned so far.”

★★★★☆

written by benjaminthehacker on 14/06/2011

I got an iPod Touch second generation two years ago off ebay. I have enjoyed it ever since I unboxed it. If you are looking at getting this for family and friends, parents this a God-send. You can add restrictions by removing the included apps YouTube and Saffari, the internet explorer app. You can also set the ratig limmit on store bought apps and games, preventing your child from getting inopropriet apps. I really like how can enjoy the latest games and apps without having to get the latest video game system. If you are good at computers and like messing around with software, this is a great device for new be's to jailbreak. Its perfectly leagal, and if you mess up, all you have to do is restore it in itunes. If you dont want to jailbreak, it is good or everyday use too. You can listen to your favorite music and watch your favorite movie too. I would have liked to have known that it did not have a camara on it. I also didnt like how it sometimes crashes, but other than that I have had no problems so far. I hoped you found my review on the iPod Touch helpfull.

“the product is ok and its thin but it works very...”

★★★☆☆

written by dansgas1000 on 04/11/2010

the product is ok and its thin but it works very slowly and the screen is too small for web browsing but as i say the device is good i would recommend it to apple fans.

I liked the design and how thin it was i also liked all the features on ios like game center, calculator, internet and all of the apps on the app store. I didn't like the small screen and the fact that there wasent any camera.

i would of liked to know what processor and what type of screen it had before i purchased it. I would of also wanted to know what version of ios it was using.

i bought an 8GB but i thought is was a 3rd generation but i soon found out it was a second generation.

Overall i would rate it 7/10 and 9/10 if i was reviewing it in 2008 when it was out.

“The apple ipod touch is very good and has lots of good...”

★★★★☆

written by em22 on 19/08/2010

The apple ipod touch is very good and has lots of good games and applications even the free ones are very good.
The ipod touch cost me £90.00 wich i think is good value for money i got it off ebay and it came in perfect condition.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a cool gadget to play games on esspecial go on facebook and msn and things.
I use mine alot in the car as we go on long journeys and the ipod normally lasts me all the way but once it ran out but i brought a car charge along just incase it did run out.
Its good for also listening to music and most of all watching films on it in the car its like having a portable dvd player!
Excellent over all (never freezes and easy to use)

“Very good multimedia device. ”

★★★★★

written by on 19/07/2010

Very good multimedia device.
I had been saving up for this for ages and i can say, its been well worth the wait.

good points:
1.Very easy to use, it doesn't even come with instructions!
2.brilliant music player and very easy (but pricey) music downloads from iTunes.
3.brilliant web browsing for a portable device.
4.calender is very useful and is updatable through your PC and on the ipod.

bad points:
1.You HAVE to buy a protective case otherwise your beloved Ipod will be scratched beyond recognition. cases can ba bought for about £10-£20 form HMV.
2.scratches unbeliveably easily and if dropped from a reasonable distance, its a goner.
3. loudspeaker in loud enough i think, but the headphone volume can make you deaf at the highest volume.
4.Everything has to be done on Itunes. This can be extremely fustrating at times due to unability to drag files onto the flash memory.

!!OVERALL!!
I highly reccomend buying this device. It is worth its weight in gold and is one of the best multimedia devices about!! (even a match for the PSP!)
Just make sure that you buy a protective case with it, you will not regret it.

Thanks, Shaun

★★★★☆

written by imayne on 15/07/2010

I purchased this for my wife and so far she has not seen any issues. The only don fall is that the sound volume is not that high. Since updated to the new iOS4, web browsing is very slow and the system freezes at time.

“My Ipod Touch broke within a month and 11 days... I...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 27/06/2010

My Ipod Touch broke within a month and 11 days... I cannot get money back for the apps, movies or music I purchased. The music just stopped playing one day and never worked again, I called Apple Inc. and was told I would have to pay for it to be fixed. =| I was warned about how fragile they are so I made sure I was sooo cautious with it, but it still didn't make the slightest difference and broke anyway!?! DON'T even bother buying an Ipod.. WASTE of time, money and energy!!!!

★★★★★

written by Tom Chezney on 23/06/2010

Amazing £130 for a multifunctional device, well worth it. Built in wifi means I can take it everywhere and be connected to facebook or msn. the wide variety of free and paid applications make it a nifty piece of kit. definite buy!!!

Liked - The practicality of it and the variety of apps.
Disliked - not bieng able to personalise it as much as other gadgets.

★★★★★

written by smurray66 on 15/03/2010

Who would have thought, that for £150 a device could be bought with built in wi-fi, thousands of free apps, the best mp3 player around, looks great, easy and usable interface. Buy this and any old phone that can dial and txt and you will be as happy as I am with it.

“My brother gifted me Ipod Touch 16GB when he came from...”

★★★★☆

written by shalsraaj on 16/02/2010

My brother gifted me Ipod Touch 16GB when he came from Dubai, that is where he works. It is a pleasure using up this ipod. It looks amazing. And the music is astonishing. It gives the best sound through ear phones. The 16 GB memory with which it comes is even more amazing. You can watch several movies. I have got many movies in it and the display is so proper and accurate that you will never feel like wathing it in a small screen. Other features in it are Touch pad, Email, Weather forecaster etc.

“.I received my itouch as a christmas present last year...”

★★★★★

written by bemahler on 05/02/2010

.I received my itouch as a christmas present last year and can honestly report that it is one of the most enjoyable pieces of portable entertainment that I have ever owned. With the new function of being able to download movies,apps and podcasts directly to the itouch, (without loading them onto your computer first)where there is a wifi setup, it makes the itouch the complete portable entertainment gadget available today.
I truthfully can't find anything wrong with the itouch, so if you want entertainment on the go this is the item to have.

“I love my iPod! ”

★★★★★

written by charlottematthews96 on 30/01/2010

I love my iPod!
I couldn't survive without it - it's got my music, photo's and lots of my stuff on it! I love the Facebook app - I couldn't live without that regular updates! It's bad to go on the internet when you need it for a long amount of time but if you just need to look up stuff it's amazing!
The best thing you could ever buy -
Improvements could be a camera, though that could cost alot and there's not alot else you could do that won't make it into an iPhone apart from adding a microphone though you can buy a separate one!
I love this so much!

“This is my second iPod as I have owned a Nano....”

★★★★★

written by on 22/12/2009

This is my second iPod as I have owned a Nano. Compared to the Nano the iPod Touch has much more benefits from internet, Apps, wifi and more music and video hours. Although the new model version of the Touch hasn't got a built in camera like the Nano which has one, the Touch is much more funner than the Nano with its accellorometer which you can twist the device to cover flow mode whilst playing your music and with its famous widescreen touchscreen screen which there are no buttons except of the home button but that is pretty much it. The battery life is alright although they have dropped down the hours but this is not to a major extent. Unlike the Nano, the Touch has an App store in which you can well, literally make your life easier as they say. With apps, you can download Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and much more. However the newer slightly upgraded model has more speed than the previous 2nd generation model. Did I also forget to tell you that if youy are bored of the song you're listening to, you can literally just shake the Touch to change to a different song, its quick and easy.

Overall, this is a great gadget and a great Christmas present for anyone who wants more than music to enjoy. Even the price is slightly more affordable unlike the 2nd generation.

The difference is between the iPod Touch and the iPhone is that the iPhone has everything all in one device, but the Touch cannot make calls and cannot take pictures and movies, but still is a great device - this is literally your life saver!

The bad points about the Touch is that some apps are not free and some may be up to £10, the other is that it cannot take pivtures and yet alone it cannot record movies. So if you're a photographer or a film maker in your case, then I'm afraid the Touch is not suitable for your needs, but lets hope it does in the near future.

Honestly in my opinion and my experience, the iPod touch is a great device to use because it meets my needs as I regularly get bored, but with the Touch, I'm not, because the Touch is a very good example of an entertainment device, Well Done Apple!

★★★★★

written by on 08/11/2009

The ipod touch is basically one of the best items that have been made. It can do virtually anything , except from ring people or text people. The is similar to the Iphone , you can search the net play games listen to tunes and watch films. Ovbiously its cheaper than an Iphone because it does not ring people. The thing i would of liked to know before i made the purchase was , what can this device do for me and help my life, i discovered that and it helps me alot. If we go on a trip to Blackpool or somewhere a far distance then i just take my Ipod and listen to music play games or watch movies. I am very glad that a device like this has been made. The Ipod is Apple Mac the only thing thats hard about it is it took me nearly 2 months to know how to get music on the device and nearly a year to get films and games on this device but apart from that its cool i guess.

“The Apple iPod Touch 16GB is Slick and Smooth...”

★★★★★

written by kevinbacon on 28/08/2009

The Apple iPod Touch 16GB is Slick and Smooth Technology, A real market leader in the Media player genre
surpasses other brands, interesting applications and software, a world of accessories!
Unreliable bluetooth interaction, Itunes management only, smaller storage than competitors at same price range.
After being a firm believer in "under dog" IT products, and always avoiding Apple due to pricing, I was finally ensnared by the 2nd Generation Ipod touch range, I opted for a 16gb model, and was given a free speaker dock (Currys £216). I Paired this with a top of the range Skullcandy headphone set.
Setup was obstructive, not being able to turn the device on until connection to itunes was frustrating, but after setup first impressions were excellent.
The GUI is extremely pleasing, the smoothness and clarity of the screen is impressive, as is the responsiveness of the touch screen, it really puts to shame the touchscreens of Nokia and Samsung, and almost totally negates the need for a stylus, even for typing.

The battery performance in video, browsing and music differ greatly, but by no means are obstructive, the music function kept me entertained for a long weekend with no charge necessary, only browsing and video can really impact the time, say a 4 hour journey watching two films might be the limit, or browsing for a similar time.

The applications are wide and varied, and there are some really impressive features downloadable for free.

I also applied the 3.0 update, and have found that the ipod overall has exceeded all of my expectations,

Overall verdict, Its an excellent piece of kit, although competitors storage is larger, the pure functionality of the item overshadows all.
Must buy piece of Technology, which will become a necessity in the near future!

“Came to the ipod range late in life but needed...”

★★★★☆

written by hotchef on 16/08/2009

Came to the ipod range late in life but needed something to replace my aging (but excellent) Palm and a fiddly poorly constructed Creative MP3. My son recommended ipod touch as it had all I needed. Settled for 8GB and have had lots of fun and use out of it. Love the fact that I can check emails, watch music YouTube videos, keep my calender, contacts and notes up to date. And it feels good - screen is very clear. Not good for too much typing with my stubby fingers. One big drawback is there is very little info in the box to get you started so you have to access Apple site or work it out yourself! The battery doesn't go for as long as is stated. Love the ability to add apps.(many free) via itunes! Brilliant.
