Apple iPod touch 8 GB

As other reviewers have noted, this is a beautifully designed, sleek, highly functional product.

However, as noted in the fine-print above and on Apple's website, the iPod Touch is being sold with firmware (1.1.5) that was replaced by a new version (2.0) two months ago.

Mine arrived 12 hours ago, and instead of enjoying it, I have spent much of that time on the phone with Apple trying to understand how I can buy a brand-new product and receive one WITH OBSOLETE FIRMWARE and then be asked to pay an additional $10 to "upgrade" to the firmware that was released two months before I bought the product.

I find this entirely unacceptable and unprecedented, and it has fully tarnished the image of Apple Inc in my mind.

So for $10, instead of feeling good about my new iPod, I am feeling bitter about the obnoxious company that sold it.

Rumor has it that an improved I touch will come in September. Better wi fi, better battery life, better price-capacity relation and they say it will have GPS and may be a mic or a camera included.but the better part is that, for sure, prices will drop in the average of 100.00 or more. So This is a waste of money. At this price!!

I really like this little device, despite it's drawbacks. I did buy it mainly for music but having all of the other tools is also helpful. The battery life doesn't last nearly as long as it says, I usually have to charge it once a day. Thankfully it doesn't take long to charge.

My big beef is the Wi-Fi. It says it connects to the network but when I try to do anything that requires internet, it "Can't find server." I was able to connect at one location, however at home and work (the two places I'm at the most) it will not work. After researching the Apple support forums it appears to possibly be a problem with my wireless router at home (need to update the firmware) so I'm withholding judgment until I figure out exactly where the problem lies.

This item is awesome. I have had an ipod for over 2 years. I had the video ipod before this one and I loved it too. But this ipod touch is something much more than I could have imagined. Thanks Apple.

This is a great product and i am loving every minute of having it, but with all the accessories the cost never ends
