| Description: | With the Apple iPod touch, Apple has married the iPhone's revolutionary multi-touch interface to their popular digital media player. So instead of a Click Wheel, you just use your fingers to flick through your music, photos, and video. Two fingers can be used in a pinching or spreading motion as well, which zooms in and out of photos and web pages. That's right, the iPod touch is the first iPod to offer web access. It does this via built-in Wi-Fi support. There's even a special iTunes Wi-Fi Store, so you can browse and purchase new music and video while you're on the road. Connects to a PC or Mac through USB (using the dock connector) 802.11b/g Wi-Fi Charge Time - about 3 hours (1.5 hours fast charge to 80% capacity) Audio Support - AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, & 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, & AIFF Photo Support - Syncs iPod-viewable photos in JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only), and PNG formats Video Support - H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in. m4v,. mp4, and. mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in. m4v,. mp4, and. mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in. m4v,. mp4, and. mov file formats Unit Dimensions - 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.31 Unit Weight - 4.2 oz. |

The iPod is about music, 16Gb is way too small.

The iPod Touch is an excellent gadget. The screen is nice, the historical build-up from the original iPod works well, and the app store adds hundreds of useful applications. ( I said hundreds because there's no way all of the store's 100K apps are useful, fun, interesting, or all of the above.)
However, it's time to note that the Touch is no longer the top media player on the market. The Zune HD takes that one. It's not the best web gadget, as the iPhone and the Droid are better. And despite Apple's marketing voodoo, it's not the best gaming gadget by a mile. So it's stuck in between a lot of different markets.
That doesn't mean it's not good or useful or interesting. It's all of those things. But it's no longer the great got-to-get gadget out there and it never will be again as long as the iPhone is around and the other companies keep building up their media features and applications. Do you want the second best gadget that gives you a bunch of features but never the best? That's the Touch for me now.
