Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL Reviews
| 184 of 192 people found the following review helpful  Beyond All Expectations!, By I Am Not A Geek "Toony" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics) First off, I ordered this on a Monday and it came on Wednesday....using free shipping. Wow! Thanks amazon.Now onto the product....simple, sleek, amazing. Set up out of the box could not have been easier. Make sure you have the most updated version of itunes onyour computer, plug in the USB cord and you're up and running. Give it a full 3-4 hour charge first time through. Load up your music, pictures, videos. The software is simplicty defined. If you can use a toaster over, you can use this device. The wi-fi immediatley found my home network (and my neighbor's). Setting up email: simple. Surfing the web: simple. And, oh yeah, using it to listen to music (ostensibly what it is for): a lifting and beautiful experience. Might as well buy this newer version with the new software loaded. With amazon's discount, it only a few dollars more than the old version without the upgrade after you pay for it and upload it youself. Save yourself the hassle and get the new... Read more 106 of 109 people found the following review helpful iPod Touch replaced my PDA, By This review is from: Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics) For those who may be interested in acquiring an iPod Touch as a replacement for a PDA, I have found it to be quite useful. The primary function used in this regard is syncing with Microsoft Outlook, which works flawlessly. Now I can check appointments and find those phone numbers for early morning conference calls without waiting 10 minutes for my laptop to boot up.The new software improves the functionality by adding the notes capability, and I even find myself frequently viewing video podcasts - something I never thought I would use. The most important functions for me in a portable device are calendar, music, notes, photos, and Audible book playback, all of which this iPod handles very nicely. I have also used the maps feature for driving directions - load it up while on the home WiFi network, then the directions are retained for reference - in a much more useful format than if you print out the directions on Google. Just bring along a navigator, as I would... Read more 21 of 22 people found the following review helpful My best gadget purchase in years!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics) You will not regret buying the Touch with the software update - I am very, very happy with mine. Bright screen, world-class fit and finish, pretty good battery life and tons of functionality. Your photos will look great, Gmail is easy, and I have already downloaded a lot of map coverage (which cannot be "synced" onto the Touch as far as I can tell - you have to connect the Touch to the internet thru your wireless). I connected it to my laptop and all of my old iPod Nano music synced onto the Touch in a matter of minutes. Music, photos, e-mail, notes for (eg) a journal plus stocks and weather - the software update Touch has a lot to offer. OK - I do have one complaint and one suggestion - I wish they would have made the backside matte-finished instead of polished - it is really a finger-print magnet. And, I would prefer it to be just a little bigger to make some things (like maps) easier to read. Kudos to J&R Music and Computer too - I ordered this from Amazon but J&R sold and... Read more |
