Apple iPod Touch review

This Wi-Fi, touchscreen iPod is everything that Apple geeks had been baying for for years – but can it step out of the iPhone's shadow?

Apple iPod touch review (5th gen, late-2012)

It seems like a long time since demand for the iPod wasovertaken by the iPhone, but there's still a place forwhat is largely the same device, sans phone and highprice.

Lightest, slimmest iPod Touch yet, excellent screen, improvedcamera, great range of apps

Less affordable entry point than previous iPod touch

It's a shame the cheaper versions have gone, but despite itsconsiderable price tag, the latest iPod touch still offersgood value for money, with a terrific screen, excellentsyncing possibilities through iTunes and an unsurpassed rangeof available apps.

iPod touch review (2010)

At Apple's last event, Steve Jobs called the iPod touch the company's "most popular iPod," and it's easy to understand why. In just a few short years,

Retina Display ; Front- and back-facing cameras ; New A4 CPU

Back camera quality is low ; Needs a GPS chip ; Screen is lacking IPS technology

Apple iPod Touch review: Apple iPod Touch

Apple iPod Touch

The Apple iPod Touch has a large, video-worthy screen, a cutting-edge interface, and Wi-Fi Internet, e-mail, and music download capabilities.

The iPod Touch may cost too much for you, depending on your needs. It has a small capacity for a portable video player.

The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock.

Apple iPod Touch 32 GB

The year 2007 came, I remember it was in January and Steve Jobs had one last thing to present at the annual MacWorld Expo. I can't remember exactly, but I think I saw the 4 main icons that are always in the iPhone Dock individually displayed and...

Simple interface, easy to navigate and customize (to a certain degree) ; Tight integration with iTunes for syncing and management of music and applications ; Ability to browse the Internet seamlessly and check email using Wi-Fi ; Search capabilities...

No built in camera ; Error messages and diagnosing issues with the device can leave you clueless ; Syncing photos through Adobe Photoshop Album stinks; Apple needs to provide support for Windows Live Photo Gallery ; Too much dig down menus ; Ear buds...

The iPod Touch regardless of its minor flaws is a lovely device to use; the only major drawback for me though, there is no built in camera. A device like this is begging for one, but then again, I can understand Apple not wanting to cannibalize their...

Very good and easy to use

I bought this as I needed something with a larger memory to store all my music, and there was not enough on my Iphone. This is great if you are already using Apple products as it will auto-sync with your Itunes or Icloud and you'll have all your apps...
