GOOD THINGS:

I have had this ipod for about 8 months and i must say i am quite impressed. The amount of memory is amazing as i have the 16 gigabite one. I dont know how apple fit that much technology and memory into such a small hand held item. I dont know how people say the iphone is better as it is thicker and heavier. It has wifi so you use the safari web browser and you can surf the internet while holding a little music player. I was suprised at that because i didnt know anything about the ipod touch when i bought it. It's not to exensive for such a good thing and it is very light and thin. The ipod touch first generarion (1g) didnt have built in speakers like this ipod the second generation (2g) so you can listen to music without head phones. This ipod has touch screen which is fun to use but be carefull not to break it.The ipod touch comes with head phones, a usb cable, a polishing cloth and a dock adapter (for putting the ipod touch on a speaker). The ipod touch also has video playback with good quality and also photos. The app store on the ipod touch is a lot of fun and you can buy thousends of usefull apps and games to play so i really enjoy playing that.

BAD THINGS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The back of the ipod touch is metal so is resistant to scratches and mine is covered in them and it's really annoying. Sometimes the home button on the ipod touch doesnt work so you have to stay on what your on untill the battery runs out so if you have got a full battery and that happens to you i recomend pressing it twice and open the music menu, then play music to waste battery faster. Sometimes the ipod has a picutre of itunes and a cable which means it wont switch on unless you plug it into itunes, and it is really annoying. Also it freezes and takes ages to switch on.
