Even redeem your iTunes gift cards and gift certificates. All from anywhere you happen to be.

Starbucks Music
You walk into a Starbucks. Order your latte. While you wait, you hear a song wafting from the loudspeakers. You love it. So you get out your iPod touch and buy it over Wi-Fi. Just like that. The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch tells you what's playing in select Starbucks and lets you buy it along with other featured Starbucks content. So you can sip, shop, and listen.

Home Screen
Make the iPod touch Home screen your own. Change what's in the Dock. Rearrange the icons. And make room for even more. You can add up to eight Home screen pages and fill them with Web Clips.

Zoom in and out by tapping the multi-touch display. Switch between portrait or landscape view, depending on how you hold your iPod touch. Sync your bookmarks. Better yet, add them to your Home screen. iPod touch can automatically create a Web Clip on your Home screen from any of your favorite websites. So just one tap takes you directly there.

YouTube
Got a bit of a YouTube addiction? iPod touch feeds it from anywhere with a special YouTube player built right in. Watch featured videos, check out the most viewed, search for something specific, then bookmark your favorites for future reference. It's all the fun of YouTube--pocket-size.

Maps
Get directions and check traffic with Google Maps. Even find yourself, wherever you are. Using some local Wi-Fi networks (if Wi-Fi is turned on), iPod touch finds your approximate location and gives directions from there. Mark specific locations, find the best route between them, and search for points of interest along the way. With a hybrid map and satellite view, you can see major street names on top of satellite images.

Widgets
Widgets are small, incredibly handy applications you can use every day. Three of the most useful widgets now live front and center on your Home screen:


Weather
Get a five-day weather forecast, including highs and lows, for cities around the world. Save your favorite locations so you can check the weather anytime.

Notes
Take notes, make a to-do list, or jot down a reminder using the easy-to-use touch keypad. Then save or email them.

Stocks
Check your stocks and track the market over one day, one week, one month, three months, six months, one year, or two years.

High Technology
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone, the most advanced software ever engineered, and state-of-the-art technology. With the multi-touch display, you can control everything using only your fingers. If you rotate your iPod touch from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer automatically changes the way the content is displayed. And with wireless technology, you can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi network, anywhere you are.

Multi-touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts.

Ambient Light Sensor
The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.

Wireless
Connect to the Internet anywhere there's a Wi-Fi network. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hot spots in your area. iPod touch finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet.

Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

What's in the Box:
16 GB iPod touch, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, polishing cloth, stand, quick start guide.

4 out of 5 stars ok but not great   August 21, 2008
Justin Lunin-Pack (new york, ny)
So my new biggest complaint about my touch... is that I was caught in a rain storm the other day, and it wont turn on anymore. IT didnt even get that wet... but its completely toasted... you would expect an "on the go" device to do better than that in the rain

that said... its great for watching movies, or listening to music. I hate having to unlock it to turn it off, also changing volume or track can be a pain once the screen has locked... over all a great device though



5 out of 5 stars Great Ipod but problems   August 21, 2008
johnn noxville
First Ipod I ever bought. I am not a fan of apple, but after doing significant research i realized the ipod touch is just so inferior to any other mp3 player. Ipod worked great for the first week then whenever i was on safari or youtube it would randomly exit out of the browser. I would load browser up again and yet again it would exit out of it to the main screen. I kept trying it and it kept doing it so i returned it. I am waiting for my new one but if this one doesnt work either i will start to get a little agitated.The ipod touch is just so much better than anything else out there. The samsung p2 has its problem as well as some of the creative ones. I just knew it would be a great product and it is.

I purchased the 8gb Ipod about 3 months ago. Starting having a bit of a problem after 2 months with it not charging and unable to boot up. I took it to an Apple Store/Genius Bar and they replaced it, saying there were a few problems with it. Unfortunately, I'm overseas and lost all my music and data so can't reload until I get home. I did use it a great deal before the trip and loved the quality, ease of use, and features. I do wish I could remove songs one-by-one if I tire of them. You have to totally reload from your computer. The sync feature works very well and it's great having my calendar and contacts load automatically.
I have replaced the original earphones with something more comfortable as the buds really became uncomfortable after time.
