The Apple iPod touch (2g) 8GB is a fantastic piece of kit, like other reviews if the other models are too expensive this model is quite adequate for the average user, all applications on it work great, especially what its main use is for, music. I use it for internet and email which is good when in town, as a lot of high street shops and cafes have free wi-fi. The only draw backs I have encountered so far is the metal back and glass front which can be easily scratched, I bought a Belkin leather holder for mine, but the plastic screen shield is too hard and therefore the screen doesn't respond as quick, but it is otherwise good for protection. The good points: excellent screen clarity,ease of use, really easy to download music,films,applications either via computer or using the wi-fi facility, sound using earphones is superb,highly recommend it.
