  iPod touch Review

  Review summary: The Macworld team take a look at the first iPod to integrate the iTunes Store.
  
  Pros: Fantastic multi-touch interface, slim design, scratchproof screen, Safari web browser in your pocket, YouTube access, large screen is video friendly
  
  Cons: Limited hard drive size, screen smudges easily, lack of Flash in Safari, intentionally hobbled functions - such as no Mail application, limited Calendar functionality
  
  Verdict: We would argue that at £199 for the 8GB model, the iPod touch is better value than the iPhone. Certainly with the iPhone lacking that all-important 3G functionality that many people crave, it may be wise to go for an iPod touch now, and wait for Apple to

  Review summary: With 32GB of storage and 5 new applications, Apple's revision to the iPod touch is a welcome update to this excellent product.
  
  Pros: Standard iPod touch features such as iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and Safari web browsing just as welcome as ever, now includes five internet applications, good battery performance
  
  Cons: Video isn't as bright as iPhone; no external volume controls or support for remote control
  
  Verdict: If you've held off on purchasing an iPod touch because it hasn't offered enough of the iPhone's functionality, it may be time to reconsider unbuckling your credit card. Granted, the display could be a bit brighter and its colour a little more balanced, an

  Look But Don't Touch - iPod Touch Review
  
  Review summary: An MP3 player based on the phenomena that is the iPhone sounds like a good idea and indeed it is. A stunning user interface and great iPod functions. Just a shame that Apple think you should pay through the nose for its new baby.

  Apple iPod touch 16GB | Our Review | TechRadar.com
  
  Review summary: Is the Apple iPod touch more than just an iPhone wannabe?
  
  Pros: Multi-touch interface is a blast; It's the first true video iPod; Decent sound and picture quality; Incredibly slim and light
  
  Cons: The iPod touch is too similar to the iPhone; Contrast and viewing angle are average; Not enough storage for some; Feels like a rush job
  
  Verdict: As is stands, the iPod touch is actually a very good audio / video player that bears an unhealthy similarity to one of the most over-hyped products of the year. Maybe the iPod touch 2.0 will be more distinctive
