Advantages: Good sound quality, fun to touch

Disadvantages: Battery is useless therefore applications are useless

I received my iPod touch for Christmas last year from my now ex-boyfriend. He was either going to get me this or a netbook.

How I wish he'd bought me the netbook.

Essentially what my ex has bought is a glorified mp3 player. There really isn't anything else to it than that.

There are other applications; you can download games for example, but the battery doesn't last long enough for you to finish a game.

You have fully charged your iPod at 7AM, then you start playing games or surfing the internet (if you're in fact lucky enough to get a WiFi signal) and by 7:30AM the battery is dead.

I write a blog and I thought I could do updates on the iPod through the numerous blog applications. Out of loads of them, I think one worked; but not very well. I checked my post on a PC a few days later and found I'd made several typos, which were impossible to check on the iPod.

I did say it's a glorified mp3 player and I mean that because it is actually an amazing music player. I put my headphones in and I'm on cloud nine because the quality is so beautiful. Sometimes you can download the artwork for your albums so you have something to look at while listening. Best of all, the battery can last up to five hours from fully charged for listening to music, and I feel like I can have an infinite amount of tunes on there. At the moment I've got 400 tracks!

Also the "touch and slide" aspect of it adds another dimension to your enjoyment of your music.

The music side is its saving grace for me, but still, WAY too expensive for what it is.

Summary: Good music player, rubbish everything else.
