Advantages: Brilliant interface, Excellent apps and capabilities, simple to use

Disadvantages: Crashes quite a lot if you are doing a couple of things

I absolutely adore my ipod touch. I used to use my psp for the similar activities i use on this ipod now. I literally use this gadget for almost anything!

The prices have gone down recently too and are definitely worth the money that you pay for them and you will not regret it. Not only is it a wonderful mp3 player but it has more. The capabilities are stunning!

The best thing about it is the apps (not just the official apple app store ones) that you can download for free. There are so many which are extremely good and one of my favourites is wedict. You don't carry around a dictionary with you everywhere but you do carry your trusty ipod. You can add on many packs to this great app, especially if you jailbreak, which include encyclopedias and etymology.

The interface is really, really simple because all you do is use your fingers to do the work straight on the screen. The features and interface all look very attractive.

The most annoying thing about this ipod is that it sometimes crashes and takes a while to restart again which can be a pain if you were in the middle of something.

Another one of my favourite apps is the scrobbler for last.fm which scrobbles all the tracks you have listened to by wi fi every time you are in the range. It is brilliant because i never seem to listen to music at home anymore.

Itunes has always been quite annoying as we know but you just have to live with it and hope for the best.

The best bet with an ipod touch is to get it jailbroken, with cydia or installer installed and then download some interesting and quirky apps which will make your ipod touch unique.

If you jailbreak, there is also a way around paying for apps from the app store which is great if you have very little money! ;)

I have had this ipod for nearly a year and i have had no problems with it apart from the frequent crashes when using safari. Another problem is that you need to buy a protective casing because the metal piece on the back gets easily scratched which gets really annoying!

Overall, this is the best technology gadget i have ever had and does a hell of a lot, i can't recommend it enough!

Summary: I would recommmend to absolutely everybody!
