Apple iPod touch 8 GB with Software Upgrade

iPod Touch replaced my PDA
For those who may be interested in acquiring an iPod Touch as a replacement for a PDA, I have found it to be quite useful. The primary function used in this regard is syncing with Microsoft Outlook, which works flawlessly. Now I can check appointments and find those phone numbers for early morning conference calls without waiting 10 minutes for my laptop to boot up.

The new software improves the functionality by adding the notes capability, and I even find myself frequently viewing video podcasts - something I never thought I would use.

The most important functions for me in a portable device are calendar, music, notes, photos, and Audible book playback, all of which this iPod handles very nicely. I have also used the maps feature for driving directions - load it up while on the home WiFi network, then the directions are retained for reference - in a much more useful format than if you print out the directions on Google. Just bring along a navigator, as I would not recommend trying to read the iPod while driving. The same applies to paper maps, of course.

On the downside, the battery life has not been great - less than two hours if actively using WiFi.

Apple 16 GB iPod touch

Awesome Portable Media Player I ordered this product for my birthday, and have been using it for several days. First impressions: well built and solid, it needs some protection to keep the back from getting scratched. with a decent set of earbuds it sounds really good. I have been downloading ABC news video podcasts to watch when I get home, and the Touch is great to watch anything with; it’s like a big-screen TV in your hand. The touch interface takes some getting used to, and it takes only a slight touch to work. Overall, it is a very impressive media player and internet device.

Apple 8 GB iPod touch

Great product!!! It is a must own. 4 3/4 stars!!!
I bought the touch as a replacement for my wife’s MP3 which was stolen. After playing with it for a couple of hours and get it loaded with her music I when out and bought me one. I don’t listen to a lot of music but this thing is WAY more then a MP3 player. I love movies and own upwards 500 DVDs. I found a software online that rips the DVD into the Ipod format. I syncd it up to the Touch and have been watching movies on the go for the past two days.
The interface on this went playing music is awsome in how you can “flip” through album covers to find the music you want to listen to.
There are couple things that made me mark my rating down to 4 stars.
–You have to pay $20 for the extra programs which really should have been free and on the system from the start.
–it would have been nice to add a FM transmitter to the unit to be able to play in the car without have to by a transmitter.
–the unit “desktop” should be able to turn if the unit is on its side like the internet does over the music does.
Like I said small things. if there was a way to do 4 3/4 starrs I would for this product.
