All the features available in the iPhone without the phone and camera. With 32G memory, it has sufficient storage. The iPod is fairly easy to use. I especially like the touch screen and the interface with iTunes is convenient. A longer lasting battery would improve the product. The small size makes some displays difficult to read unless you enlarge them. If you don't have a plug in your vehicle, you will need an FM transmitter to use the vehicle's radio to listen to the iPod's audio.
PROs: Light Amount of applications available Easy to use Portability Design Voice command Wi-Fi Customizable Availability of accessories easy to resell Motion detector Fast response Good brightness Password protected option Easy to Jailbreak CONTRAs: $$$ i dont like iTunes as the only software to manage your iPod Requires specific USB charger. not any charger can charge it. Fragil No camera Fast discharge of the battery Easy to scratch (you have to buy the protector) No internet connection where there is no Wi-Fi I WOULD ADD: 3G network with no cellphone plan necessary. just the 3G. High resolution Camera with video and web cam features. Locator. Vibration in case it get lost in the house. Voice activated voice recorder. Built in microphone Built in Speakers for everything not just some sounds. More battery power Sell them already jailbreakedRead full review
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase but mostly because I bought it used for much less than it was new. This unit is rich in features and is very easy to use. If you are just going to listen to music with headphones, then the battery will last 30+ hours of playtime, however if you are going to use Bluetooth, WiFi or even run some of the many apps or games that are available, then you can count on the battery lasting much less time. I use bluetooth headphones to listen to music and my battery lasts only 6-7 hours before I need to recharge it. Same when I play games or use WiFi to browse the net. Like I said, it is a very easy to use, feature rich device but it does have limitations. Besides the above, the battery is not user replaceable, the 3rd. gen iTouch does not have a camera or FM radio, and it does not act as a storage device. One last thing of major importance is security. Regardless of the security code you set, all someone has to do is reset the device to gain access to everything on your iTouch so there really is no true security.Read full review
For the price, it was probably worth it, but I give it a 4/5 for a few reasons. 1) No camera. The 4th and 5th generations have cameras on the front and/or back, yet this one has NOTHING. How is that possible? I figured for something this awesome, they'd at least have some updated features. 2) No ability to upgrade past second OS above it. the iPhones can go a lot farther in terms of OS upgrades; unfortunately this is pretty low-featured. 3) The hardware on it doesn't really support the software all that well. I would have figured that the amount of processing power and RAM it came with would have been enough, but I was sorely mistaken. My SGS2 performs lightyears ahead of this one, but the big issue on my phone was space. Now that I have "space" (this iPod), there's no speed that comes with it, and thus fluidity and usability is lost in the slowness of the hardware/software interaction. For $100, I guess I can't complain, but I'm probably going to try to flip this for the same price and upgrade to the 5th generation...Read full review
I have found that this product is fun and easy to use for those who are even semi-technological savvy. The aps that you can get for this device can satisfy anyone's curiosity with the wide variety of choices, from games for the players and more everyday convinces for those with more practical needs. However, the iPod Touch features a horrible battery life if you keep the screen brightness up high and have the wireless communications up. This might last you between an hour or two, so be sure to have some sort of portable charge with you because you'll be wanting it. But if you turn off the wireless by setting it to "airplane mode" and have screen brightness toned down, you can squeeze a longer life out of the battery by a number more hours. Still, it is highly advised to have something to charge the battery with, just in case.Read full review
