I love it – but a few words. First off, this is my 1st iPod Touch – I can’t tell you how it stacks up against the 2G or any other G. You previous owners might as well skip this review.

You know what it is: The iPod Touch plays music and video, runs “apps” and connects you to the internet when you’re near a wi-fi signal. (Many fun and useful apps are free). Sound is typical for portable audio, while video files are reasonably smooth and remain in sync with the sound.

Transferring media to the iPod is as usual a smooth experience with iTunes. Using that program, you can organize and customize your audio files. Transferring video files (which appears to intimidate many people) is also easy as long as they are in MP4/H.264. if they’re not, “Quick Media Converter” a free and easy to use program, will do the job handily. The Touch is sufficiently durable as long as you get a covering skin or case.

**SO SHOULD YOU GET ONE? I get a lot of that – “*should* I get an iPod Touch?”. Keeping in mind that this is a luxury item (nobody *should* get themselves a toy), the iPod Touch is rapidly becoming superfluous.

Cellphones – much as they had for PDA’s and standalone MP3 players – are rapidly assuming the role of much of what the Touch can do. With many basic phones, you can play media, run apps, connect you to the internet (even when not near a hotspot). There’s no question that the experience won’t be as seamless as on an iPod (touch-screen much more responsive, navigating functions far less sticky, apps more smoothly integrated and – esp. for Verizon people like me – the browser is tops), but that has to be weighed against the cost of an iPod and having to deal with another device.

Also, cellphones have their advantages over the iPods. Phones can connect to your computer as simple “mass storage” devices – that they don’t need special software to connect to a computer, they can connect to *any* computer, and you can transfer music your computer and phone in

I was skeptical about getting these Apple earbuds for 30 dollars, but I now have to say, a month later, it was worth every penny. It makes using my iPod touch soooo much easier. Plus, I can use apps like Skype. Great product. Highly recommended.
