Actually took me Apple always deterred by the insanely proud rates, but for about 180 euros I have finally a top device get (Software 3.1, purchase date Sept. 2009) and do not want to miss it. The iPod is great in the hand, is intuitive to use and makes her a lot, of course visually. This point is quite important in this upmarket. I would like to highlight the near-perfect touch-screen display. A gentle tap or finger swipe is enough, and he puts all movements around effortlessly.
It is a pity of course, that there is no folder function for music files. Therefore, a freeware tool like "MP3 tag" absolute obligation, if not all tags are ordered correctly. For example, I renamed the folder name as the album title and the MP3 tracks then the respective file name, because my MP3-tags do not all fit.
I'll try a short overview of my positive and negative experiences to describe:
+ High quality workmanship
+ High resolution display
+ Touchscreen function perfectly
+ Good sound via earphones
+ Great design
+ Menus very clearly
+ WLAN function (wifi)
+ Partly free Applications
+ Many applications (photos, videos, calendars, Safari browser, and more.)
- Speaker is unfortunately extremely quiet
- No additional folder function
- Integrated no radio
All in all, outweigh the positive points. The large display is of course a power-hungry, yet one can make a compromise in which one activates the automatic brightness adjustment and the brightness controls down somewhat. Also, I've still worried a leather bag on the go, because a display and key together in a pants pocket, which is not so good, although the display glass very high quality comes along, but you must not risk indeed. Here is the way the bag: Cool Bananas fold leather case (Flipstyle) for Apple iPod Touch 2nd Gen Black
Those looking for a mobile multimedia device that fits in your pocket, the touch is very well served with the iPod. Assuming the wherewithal exists. But for the money you also get a lot offered. Therefore, a clear conscience a strong buy recommendation.
