Apple iPod touch 16 GB (1st Generation)
With the Apple iPod touch, Apple has married the iPhone’s revolutionary multi-touch interface to their popular digital media player. So instead of a Click Wheel, you just use your fingers to flick through your music, photos, and video. Two fingers can be used in a pinching or spreading motion as well, which zooms in and out of photos and web pages. That’s right, the iPod touch is the first iPod to offer web access. It does this via built-in Wi-Fi support. There’s even a special iTunes Wi-Fi Store, so you can browse and purchase new music and video while you’re on the road. The latest iPod touch now offers a suite of new applications, including email, maps, and handy widgets for weather, notes, and stocks. The new iPod touch also features a customizable home screen that lets you rearrange buttons and create your own Web Clips.

Review
(This is a review of the 16GB IPOD Touch 1st gen)
My wife bought me this as a gift. I had no clue what it was when I opened it. I had been considering buying a nano for my music in the car. Once I started using this, I could not imagine not having one. I put every CD I own on it so I have about 2600 songs. There was still room on it so I put all my photos (1900) from the last 10 years on it too. With the wireless networking, I can check the weather, movie times, email… the list goes on… from the comfort of my bed. I can do this anywhere in the house or anywhere with a wireless network. There are games and apps that can be downloaded right from the unit and every day that library expands. Also, I will be downloading TV programs to it as well. I just can’t believe how much I enjoy this device.
