Apple iPod Touch (1st Gen)

Meet the iPhone's slimmer baby brother, the iPod touch. Despite its demure size -- both in stature and in memory -- it still manages to cram in Web browsing and iTunes over Wi-Fi. This is an unquestionably cool product that continues Apple's legacy of sle...

Wireless functions; design; interface; browser; bright, clear screen

Fingerprints on the screen; limited memory if you're planning to watch a lot of video

For better or worse, the iPod touch is clearly the iPhone's baby brother. Like most products that roll out of Apple, the touch shows the love of committed designers, hardware engineers and usability experts. While it may not be the slam dunk we were hopin...

Apple near-enough reinvented the wheel with the original iPod touch, so what does its successor bring to the table?

With 32GB of storage and 5 new applications, Apple's revision to the iPod touch is a welcome update to this excellent product.

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

Video isn't as bright as iPhone; no external volume controls or support for remote control

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...

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.

Is the Apple iPod touch more than just an iPhone wannabe?

Multi-touch interface is a blast; It's the first true video iPod; Decent sound and picture quality; Incredibly slim and light

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

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

The key feature, aside from the quite lovely 3.5-inch display, is the device's WiFi capabilities

Very attractive; Groundbreaking features; WiFi enabled

Low storage capacity; High price

This all means that if there's no WiFi access available then you've just spent £200 on a high maintenance, low capacity PMP. The calculator's nice though and works offline..

Finally the iPod touchs empty home page has all the iPhone apps that were originally denied us.

As an iPod it's lovely, but it's as a WiFi device that the touch really excels. Now you can browse the web with a device you can hold in your hand and fit in your pocket, provided you're in range of a WiFi hotspot, of course. The Safari web browsing exper...

Regular visitors to this site will know by now that we're rather partial to Apple's iPod Touch, but we realise not everyone's an Apple fan. So if you'd like to know how the Touch compares to Sony's new NWZ-A826 Walkman multimedia player, our colleagues o...

Apple's new 32GB iPod touch very nearly lives up to the dream of the phone-less iPhone.

If you've held off on purchasing an iPod touch because it hasn't offered enough of the iPhone's functionality or storage, it may be time to reconsider unbuckling your credit card. Granted, the display could be a bit brighter and its colour a little more b...

This is, without doubt, one of the most desirable PMPs it's been my pleasure to stroke. It's oh so sleek, beautifully designed and every interaction you have with it is satisfying - well, mostly.

Very attractive, Groundbreaking features, WiFi enabled

Low storage capacity, High price

A stylish head-turner but you pay for the privilege
