Review: I think that this is a really good iPod!
Pros: Safari and Wi-Fi, coverflow, music, video, you-tube... almost everything! Slim and sophisticated!
Cons: It's expensive, not enough memory, not enough video downloads on iTunes to watch on it, the update is £12! The headphones are OK.
Score: 9/10

Review: The IPOD touch is just as described, an Iphone without the.....well phone. Is this really such a drawback though? The Ipod touch has all the core features the Iphone does; like Safari and Youtube( with a WIFI connection) and even adds an Itunes music store. Not to mention it's available with double the storage of the highest capacity Iphone. All this without the ridiculous rate mark up you must pay for ATT Iphone service and potential early termination fees from your old wireless carrier. Also, I primarily use my ipod touch in my car with a car accessory, Imagine having your music interupted everytime you get a phone call or a text message( speculation btw, I've never used an Iphone). However, to say that the Ipod touch is flawless would be wrong. Coverflow gets annoying and needs an on/off button, and an external volume button would also be nice. The Ipod touch also lacks the song search feature available on the 5G Ipod. All in all it's a wonderful device, and in my opinion if released before the Iphone would be a benchmark in the MP3 market, instead of the 'phoneless alternative' to the Iphone that it is.
Pros: An Iphone without the Iphone 'Overhead'
Cons: Coverflow is only cool the first couple of days, and when you're showing off. This feature desperately needs an on/off button
Score: 9/10
