Apple iPod touch 64 GB (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL Top Quality

I received a new iPod Touch 32GB (3G - 3rd Generation) for my birthday, and absolutely love it. Having never owned an iPod or other portable music device, aside from my BlackBerry Bold that tries to double as one, you can imagine my pleasant surprise.

Basically... now I know why Apple owns this market. The device is absolutely brilliant. The UI is crisp and easy to understand. The controls.. well, it's touch-screen. How much easier can you get? There is no need for manual to get started, but a pamphlet is included. I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the advanced features, and will be reading the manual at some point! (e.g. Genius)

The Pros:

* Playing and navigating your music. I really like the cover flow feature, where I can flip through the albums I have on the device.

* Genius Mixes.. nice trick.

* Shake to Shuffle, which is another nice trick and I think it's cool.

* The wireless is a trmendous asset to the device. Surf the web as fast as wireless will carry the data.

* H264, HD video? Yes... and it looks gorgeous on this screen.

* Voice control of what's playing

* Blue-Tooth enabled, which I'm sure is technology carried from the iPhone.


I will add that there are a few cons, but I was OK with these drawbacks..

The Cons:

* The Mic is in the headset cord. That's right... it's not in the device itself. What does this mean? It means that you will need to make sure "new" headphones have a built-in mic. And if you're like me, the included Apple earbuds are pretty rough. You will need the mic to take advantage of voice commands (new feature for the iPod Touch) and Voice memos.

* No photo capture capability. You're saying, huh? That's right... it's included in the Nano but not the Touch. I suppose this is because it begins to encroach on the iPhone space? I'm sure there is a marketing reason for it.

* No video capture capability. Again, you're right... the Nano now has this feature, but not the iTouch.

There is a lot to say about my first go into the portable media device market, and I'm sure I have forgotten a lot of great things this device will perform.

Now, off to find some great headset/headphones!
