Reviewing: Apple, Inc. Apple Ipod Touch 3rd Generation
Purchased at: Best Buy     Price: $199.00 USD

After messing up my iPod Nano a couple of weeks ago, my father took me to Best Buy to look at other iPods and Mp3 players. Upon entering Best Buy, I immediately fell in love with the iPod Touch. Its slim, and sleek yet subtle design is attractive. The chromed steel back of the Ipod Touch is similar to the design of the new iPhone 3G. It has a glass-covered 3.5 inch screen with a 480x320-pixel resolution. The physical buttons on the iTouch include a slim volume control on its' left edge, a hold switch on the top and a home button below the screen on the front of the player.A universal dock port and a headphone jack is included on the bottom of the touch.

Looks aside, the iTouch comeswith a fantastic music player, great video playback that includes iTunes rentals and a YouTube player, a great photo viewer, an e-mail reader that is compatible with almost any POP e-mail servie, an iTunes store for music, videos and applications and a Safari web browser. The iPod Touch, in ways, is more of a pocket PC than an MP3 player.

My 8 year old wants an ipod touch but I don't know if he is old enough for one. Is it expensive to buy the applications and games that are compatible with it and to get it set up to use online?

Well, when I bought my iPod touch, my little brother, who's also 8 years old, used it all the time. He used it for gaming purposes. There's over 140,000 apps or so. There are SO many applications that are free. Since your son is only 8 years old, I'm sure that he's going probably going to play games on his iTouch for the most part. There are a lot of free game apps in the iTunes store. (If you want to buy some, they usually start from .99 cents.) I wouldn't worry about buying the applications because I'm sure he would be satisfied with all the free apps. (There's a lot of variety.) About the Internet... If you have WiFi at home, you can probably set it up on his iTouch (for free). All you would need is your password for it (if you have one). At places like Starbucks and libraries, where free WiFi is available, all you would have to do is connect to it. Lemme know if you have any other questions. :)

This is an excellent review, I have been debating purchasing an iPod Touch for some time now, and I really think that I will go ahead and make that leap.

My mom (who knows nothing about technology haha) really wants this and I'm pretty sure she's going to get it. Good review, I'll let her read this!
