- Software from the Soup Nazi? Not for you!
I bought an IPOD Touch to replace my latest Palm after the Palm died prematurely and after sitting next to an owner of a Touch on a plane. My seat mate demonstrated the Touch to me on the plane and I was impressed. I knew he had added software to it. But it wasn't until I got it home and started playing with it that I realized that Apple had locked out the software this guy was using. In order to install software you have to "jailbreak" it (which voids your warranty). So I tried living within the letter of the warranty. Pretty boring and I started missing appoinments because I could not hear the alarm on the IPOD. There is a utility you can download that makes the speaker louder -- but wait, you can't download it without jailbreaking (a.k.a. voiding your warranty). The calculator was a four function joke. Personal productivity software? Not under the warranty! I finally decided the warranty was not worth it and "jailbroke" it. Wow! HP calculator emulation here I come. VOIP anyone? Sketch programs, restaurant reviews, music synthesizers, even a cute little utility to remember where you park your car. But then, Apple upgraded the firmware: according to the advertisement, under version 2 you can add third party software. So I upgraded: big mistake. Yes you can add software -- but only software sold by Apple on I-tunes. Everything I have looked at is two steps back (and you pay for everything to try it -- the hacked software is mostly freeware: you donate if you find it useful and after you see how it works). Even the upgraded calculator (or the add ons) are maybe 3* programs. And because everything changed with firmware version 2, all of the freeware software has to be rewritten (along with the jailbreaking utilities which are reportedly still kind of buggy).

The hardware and included software is pretty polished with only minor quirks (for example, you cannot delete songs from your IPOD, you have to uncheck them in I-Tunes; thus, if you download a few albums before leaving for a trip, you cannot weed out the songs you don't like on the plane). Because the hardware is pretty decent, it deserves at least two stars. Maybe after the jailbreakers catch up (and I learn not to trust Apple again), it will be back in the three to four star range (four if you can hear the alarm). For five stars, Apple is going to have to decide they really do want it to go beyond being an MP3 (make that MP4 -- added security, you know) player and open* the system up?

* Allow third party software, maybe add an IR port so you can beam information from one IPOD to another and -- scariest of all -- allow memory cards to be used to expand the horizon.

- it lacks physical volume buttons. For music on the go, that gets annoying.
The Touch is wonderful for web browsing and email on the go with the Apps 2.0 upgrade. Really I cant fault it there. It would be nice if the battery lasted longer when wireless is enabled but that's the worst thing I can say about this device's impressive internet functionality. But for portable music, I went running back to my COWON D2 player. Why? Its impossible to adjust volume or skip tracks without taking the player out and tapping on the screen. Now try doing that while walking around a busy subway at rush-hour. Some mention that you can buy 3rd party headphones that have buttons on the wire, but Apple isnt offering that out of the box. For me this is a major flaw in the design of a portable player. I should mention that the iPhone has buttons for volume. C'mon Apple -- that's not making a lot of sense. At 300 bucks, the Touch is 100 bucks too much, especially since there is no ability to add memory cards to the device to expand storage. It _is_ a cool device for internet but there are better music players out there and they cost less.

- It's amazing!
Apple never ceases to amaze me. i had an ipod nano and i loved it but it was time to improve so i decided to go "touch". i have to say i love it, the quality, sound and functionality are incredible. maybe the only thing that bothers me just a bit is the fact that when i'm going on the metro, every time i want to change the song i have to look at the screen. before, with the nano, i could rew or fwd without looking. well...to sum up...thumbs up!

I love this product. It is much better than the original Video iPod. The screen is larger and it functions just like an iPhone minus the phone. I can even access email with it through the Safari browser. I do not like the fact that it does not come with written directions. However, the support staff is very responsive and sends an answer via email within a few hours. Also, I have gone to an Apple store and received immediate help.
