I was basically looking for mobile entertainment device, that can surf the web, easy access to my emails, listen to music, play games. I found the ipod touch suitable fit. Though most of the smartphones have this capability nowadays, i was not willing to cash out $30 extra per month for data plan. so i decided to buy this device. Some of the outstanding things are
- screen is awesome, clear, high resolution
- user interface very friendly and intuitive
- most of the apps allows quick and better way of doing things compare to opening in website separately
- tons of cheap games. I installed real soccer 2011 and NBA 2011 for $0.99 each.
- initially i was sceptic about typing in touchscreen but after typing few days, it was very easy and accurate.
Some of the things i didn't like which may be specific to my experience and not ipod touch in general.
- while browsing internet, websites were loading slowly. while watching music videos, they were buffering a lot. I have 5MBps internet broadband from cable one.
- I have heard of long battery life about this device, but for me it didn't last long. I know playing NBA/ soccer games on ipod touch might have accelerated the battery drainage, but still i had to recharge after playing 1-2 hrs.
- head phone that comes with this device could have been better
Overall great product for mobile entertainment. Definitely recommend for those without smartphones.

Camera fails to work; No warranty repair

The iPod Touch (4th generation) is an excellent product -- if everything works, that is. In my case, the camera fails to work out of the box, and Apple refuses to repair it under warranty, claiming the iPod has suffered liquid damages! On the bright side, everything else seems to work fine. Details:After receiving the item, I unpacked it and set it up with my computer, including an update to iOS 4.2. Then I tested various functions. All seemed to work well except for the camera app. Upon entering the app, an image of a camera shutter appeared, but the shutter would not open and nothing in the app responded. The only thing that could be done was returning to the home screen.Apple did have a very responsive technical support via telephone. After restoring the iPod Touch per the adviser's direction and failing to resolve the Camera problem, I sent it in via UPS for warranty service per an Apple adviser's direction.A few days later, the iPod was returned without having been repaired because Apple had determined the iPod had suffered liquid damages based on its Liquid Contact Indicator [@]. I could not believe it because it was a new iPod Touch and I know it had not been in contact with liquid! At least Apple didn't charge for the diagnostic and shipping.So now I am stuck with an iPod Touch with a defective camera. Buyer beware!Tip: If possible at all, go to an Apple Store for warranty service instead of mailing in. You might have better luck.

I'm amazed at how much information can be kept in such a small product. I carry it in my pocket/purse all the time as I use it for my datebook, news, weather, and entertainment. And the price was possible with my budget. As far as I am concerned it's like having an extra brain that knows everything about me and yet is so much fun. Couldn't have found anything that makes me any happier.

Ordered this as a Christmas present for a young nephew. He is sciping now with it, but originally wanted it for the games. Great product for both. If you have a wireless network at home or work, you need this product. Ordering was fast and easy. Shipped in time for Christmas. Received in excellent condition.

Although I am giving these as gifts and am not the user, I have watched one of my granddaughters use a prior version and the experience has helped make her a comnputer and electronic wizard.
