How do you fit 32GB of storage capacity into something so slim? We're more stumped than the England cricket team
But that's what Apple's done with the Touch. It can hold 7
000 tunes
Making it an incredibly tempting buy

The editors didn't like
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
Limited storage capacity
Prone to fingerprints
Hoodies might mug you for it
Not as good as iPhone. Relatively meagre memory. Still no movies on iTunes Store...
Video isn’t as bright as iPhone
No external volume controls or support for remote control
No memory extension possible. Therefore limited to 8 or 16 GB
ITunes not very practical for video conversion
Saturates a little more quickly than the best Creative and Crown players
Quality of headphones
Replace them
Screen smudges easily.
£290 is still a lot to lay out for a 32GB machine
Even for a delicious Apple of this high calibre.
Fingerprints on the screen
Limited memory if youre planning to watch a lot of video
Abstract: The similarities between the iPhone and the touch are striking. Both have 3.5in 480 x 320 touchscreens. Both run a touchscreen version of OS X, offering apps such as the Safari web browser and a YouTube video viewer. Both units use flash memory for sto...
Abstract: Dear Tooth Fairy, I am aware that rather worn adult molars are not the kind of trade goods you like to find under a chaps pillow when fulfilling fervent wishes. However, please note that I am willing to contribute my one remaining, genuine eye t...
Abstract: Is the new iPod Touch the best iPod ever? Were not so sure. It would have been a clearer call if Apple had been content to make the Touch just an iPhone sans phone, but the company stripped out a few handy features without any obvious reason oth...
Touch screen operates very well, large screen, wireless connectivity, host of features
Expensive, not much storage for video files, screen attracts fingerprints The Final Word While it may cost a pretty penny, the iPod touch is a brilliant portable media player. The touch screen operates fluidly, and wireless connectivity adds a whole ne...
While it may cost a pretty penny, the iPod touch is a brilliant portable media player. The touch screen operates fluidly, and wireless connectivity adds a whole new level of options and features.
Abstract: Forget the touch-sensitive wheel that set Apple’s iPod family apart from the rest of the music and video players in the market. The iPod Touch is here and will definitely change the way we look at portable media players. But can we afford the change...
Well just look at it. Its gorgeous, Pretty interface, Best sounding iPod ever, Bright, clear and crisp widescreen, Cover Flow
Expensive and poor value, Cant be operated blind like previous iPods, Fingerprints everywhere, and scratches on the back, Thirdparty apps locked out until Feb 2008, Lots of interface quirks
If the Touch is the player that you want, that you really, really want, youve probably got one already. Fence-sitters should stay there until next year when third-party apps or version 2.0 comes out.
Great touchscreen interface, good video playback, web surfing via Wi-Fi.
Poor battery life, lacks features found in the iPhone.
So is the much-hyped Touch worth your money? It really depends on what you want out of it. Its undeniable that it is, in essence, a cut-down iPhone, and if the extra features (including Bluetooth, and unsurprisingly, telephony) of the iPhone appeal, t...

Abstract: For iPhone-starved New Zealanders, the iPod touch looked like it was shaping up to be a decent compromise while we waited for a local release. Based on its specs – wi-fi, mobile Safari, the multi-touch interface and twice the iPhone’s storage...
