This is my first Ipod. I've stayed away from them in the past because of the restrictions as far as the applications and everything loading through iTunes. That is really outweighed by the positive elements of this thing. It's awesome!

Great buy! I saved money and no taxes on top of it. The only difference from buying it from the store is you have to wait for it. But I received it within 2 to 3 days, just in time for a trip I was taking. So much more better then traveling with a laptop at airports.

I love it. It is so great to have so much in your hands, and not have to pay a monthly charge, like a cell phone. Great price too!
iPod Touch 3rd Generation (32 GB) January 17, 2010

This iPod Touch is a small baby step upgrade since the 2g ipod last year. It is an incredible device. I have only owned the horrible 2007 unrevisioned) iPod Classic before, so this review will not relate to previous iPod touches that much- except for the few times I visited the Apple store to play with them.
Let's begin with packaging itself. Opon opening it from the mail and peeling a white film off of it, I was faced with a rather thin, wide, clear container. The Touch was clipped with plastic holders, and I had to uncomforably try to pry it out. I decided to stop and searched for unboxing videos on the internet. Apparently the clips were stuck to a plastic bottom. Flipping it over, there was a photo that instructed me to bend the plastic so the clip popped out. Hmmm... maybe this should have been written on the bottom of the container... My Classic's container was black, made of thick cardboard and rather large. It was cusioned in foam with a circle cut out for it's scroll wheel. All I had to do was take off the lid (with a great feeling "suction") and it was over. Although both packages were attractive, I felt that the iPod touch's container was less "official" looking. I also had to peel a sticker off the screen of the Touch that depicted what it would look like if it was turned on. The sticker looked bland, static, and unprofessional in general. I would've perferred a regular clear film.
The box comes with:
1. The iPod Touch
2. One of those docking plastic things
3. Earphones with a mic and volume control (Same old "comes-with-iPod-earphones" quality)
4. A very brief instruction manuel.
The instruction booklet recommends you go to their website to learn more about how to use the iPod. Otherwise, many of it's features will be unknown. When first starting up the iPod, it simply displays an icon that says to connect the device to iTunes. Other functions are completly locked until the connection. This is a plus for the users that might be naive enough to ignore the drections and be clueless about how to transfer the actual song into the device.
I was greeted with a remarkably sharp and bright screen after peeling the sticker I mentioned. It is the resolution and had not changed since the first and second generation iPod touches, except for the someone golden tint compared to the second generation's blueish tint when viewed from the side. The multitouch interface is very different from the annoying 2007 Classic scroll wheel. The screen does respond somewhat poorly at times, touching an icon with no avail, but seeing that none of the others users had said this, maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it.
To say the least, this thing is SEXY!! The iPod is extremely thin, and the contoured back fits very well in the hand. The silver back, like the Classic, scratches so easily and is a fingerprint magnet. If you are a perfectionist like me, get a case or shield. I hate Apple for making another iPod with the scratchable back, but I also have to give them credit for contouring it. The device seems so much thinner when it is rounded, and it is human nature to look around the edges and to not focus on the center. (Which is, of course, the thickest part of the iPod.)I really liked the home screen button design on the front and also liked the fact that it has a physical volume controller for lowering and increasing volume without having to look during jogs. The volume conrtols are raised, clickable buttons on its left side, and there is also a raised on/off button on the top- left of the iPod.
I was however, dissipointed because of the battery life. I'm not sure whether I can compare the battery life to my former Classic, I'm not sure if I might sound idiotic for saying this, but I'll say it. I played games for maybe an hour, or less. And the battery was already half gone. Maybe it wasn't an hour, I was just guessing. But I know for a fact that is is significantly less than my Classic. Maybe thats what they left out. The iPod has internet connection, a sharp screen, fast processor- and I wondered how they did it. They most likely comprimised the battery. It's not awful as my LG Chocolate phone I had two years ago. But it wasn't as good as my Classic. Come to think of it, my Classic was pretty fat, but I would have easily negotiated battery life for thickness for my touch. I'll probably change my mind later, when I'll have enough willpower and courage to actually put this fragile thing in my pocket!
The operating system in general runs suprsingly well with no lags experienced even on my large Compaq computer. It switches from Safari to games smoothly. Speaking of Safari, I was amazed how a device so small performed so well. Google searches loaded in the matter of literally one second, and it was able to display Java and Flash. The pinching and unpinching is better than the zoom and unzoom options on most mobile web browsers. The keyboard is annoying- but this will probably take more than two days to practice. Apparently the 32 and 64 GB iPod Touches are gaster than the 8 GB one- and that was partly why i chose the 32 GB instead of the 64GB.
The greatest thing about iPods--- Apps! Apps have such a large variety of uses- from games such as Sudoku and air hockey to genuine uses such as a state capitals quizzer to a food recipes database. Some of them are free while others range from about $10 to $0.99
In all, I love my iPod already. It's beautiful, it runs so fast, and it has a TOUCH SCREEN! The apps, internet, music, and videos are all exclusively on this one device. Apple has done it , again.
