Good Points

Light and Stylish. Excellent Touch Screen. Music - Great Videos - Great Email - Superb Safari Internet - Genius Dual Touch Pinch to expand or shrink email / Web pages - Excellent

Bad Points

Can't use it as a file storage device (e.g memory stick) Can't save YouTube Videos or web graphics or web pages for off-line viewing Can't rotate email views. Can't save maps for when you are out of range of a WiFi Signal. Mains charging Adaptor is not included. Fragile (does not bounce). On-screen touch keyboard is a bit fiddly. A stylus would be very helpful. Does not work if you are wearing gloves. Needs games. I would love to see iTouch Backgammon on it.

Good Points

The Apple iPod Touch 32GB is a superb piece of design. The way it handles your music tracks and photos is amazing. It's a real gadget fan's gadget and second to none as far as MP3 players are concerned due to the sheer number of additional features. Google mapping, internet surfing, the ability to purchase from iTunes on the move, together with all the other features expected of an iPod. The accelerometer built in knows how you are holding the device and orientates your photos to give the best view, all automatically. Altogether a great peice of kit and one well worth buying.

Bad Points

The only poor feature is one of the new additions to the latest iPod Touch, which is the built in external speaking, which creates relatively poor sound. It is no really meant to be a loudspeaker, but purely so if surfing the likes of You Tube, you can play a video clip to friends without them all having to have a headphone, so I can understand why it is that way. However if a product is worth designing, it is worth designing well, so I feel the addition of a decent speaker, or better still stereo speakers, should have been considered as the cost differential would be slight. I assume the space required was restricted.

Overall score: 9.1
