This review is from: Apple iPod® touch 32GB MP3 player with Wi-Fi® web browser (Electronics)

This has been one of the most fun MP3 players I have ever owned. It is intuitive, and if you are familiar with iTunes you will immediately be able to use the interface here. Cover flow (3d album cover art you can scroll through with a flick of the finger), is very easy to use. Battery life is said to be 6 hours, I generally got around 5 hours. Not sure why or what I am doing wrong but its doable.

With 32 GB you will enjoy a huge audio library, many movies and applications. This version of the iPod touch has helped set the bar of what an MP3 player can and should be; it is a companion to give you a soundtrack for your life.

Games:
As you may have seen on television with the commercial for the iPod touch. The touch can sense your motion and move the items on the screen. It is really fun to do.

WiFi:
The touch can connect to wifi networks in the area and allow free surfing on the web or downloading mp3's.

OSX:
On the latest iPhone or iPod touch, you get a full working version of Macintosh OSX, this means that apps written for the Macintosh can work on iPod touch (to some extent).

Here are some accessories I recommend getting with the iPod touch:

Protective cover:
Speck PixelSkin for iPod touch 2G (Black)
Better ear buds:
Skullcandy Titan Bud Headphones
The original ear buds hurt and fall out alot.

So if you are on the fence about purchasing a high end mp3 player then I recommend hopping off and grabbing one of these. It is roughly the same price as an iPhone but the iPhone does not have 32GB of storage (at the time of this review) and with the free internet via wifi I prefer the touch.

Thank you for reading my review, I hope it helped you make a decision!
