5 Reviews for New Apple iPod touch 32GB with Software Upgrade
Stephen Fry is right about this one - 26 Mar 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful.
I bought an iPod touch with some trepidation. I had a bad experience with an iPod Photo a few years back: it would never sync with my PC reliably and kept losing album art. Having always been a loyal Sony buyer, I ditched it and went for a 20GB NW-HD3 instead.
However, technology moves on and once again I found myself looking for a music player. While reading various reviews, I happened on Stephen Fry's website. Besides his many other achievements, Fry is a rabid technophile and fierce advocate (and owner) of all things Apple. He views possession of an iMac as a prerequisite for a well-rounded life and if I'd asked for his advice, no doubt I would be told sagely, "iPod, therefore I am."
Fry says of the iPhone, the touch's more communicative sibling, that it provides "a digital experience in the literal sense of the word. The user's digits roam, stroke, tweak, tweeze, pinch, probe, slide, swipe and tap across the glass screen forging a relationship with the device that is like no other."
With its identical interface, the iPod touch can be similarly described. First impressions are that it is innovative, appealing and so far very reliable. Wi-fi 'true' web browsing is a plus - especially the ability to add songs direct from the iTunes website. I won't go into an exhaustive list of other features as that can be found on Amazon's product page.
There are some niggles. Text entry is something that needs practising: the virtual buttons are so close together that it's easy to input the wrong one - but this can be avoided if you don't lift your finger and slide it to the intended character. Also, although I found the iTunes software to be a vast improvement on its earlier incarnation (it can now sort solo artists by surname, for example), be careful when adding similarly titled albums (such as "Greatest Hits"). In its album search and cover flow modes, the iPod treats all tracks from these as belonging to one album, regardless of artist. Apple is apparently aware of the problem but a workaround is to use all the 'sort by' fields for track and album artist and then insert a different number of blank spaces after the title of each affected album. The iPod will then list them separately.
A case is absolutely essential. I noticed on my old iPod that the chrome back was susceptible to scratch marks (seemingly appearing out of nowhere) and the touch is no different. Some sort of protector for the screen is also desirable, as the supplied one will soon start to lift.
Despite these quibbles, this has to be a contender for the best multimedia device out there at the moment. Hell, my next computer might even be a Mac!
Finally bit the iPod bullet.... definitely worth it!! - 12 Mar 2008

The Good:
Finally an iPod interface I think is any good. Cover flow IS cool!
Overall design does make it stand out from other mp3 players.
SSD.
Again - god damn its thin - I think it has an eating disorder!
Wi-FI, net, calender, maps, calculator, weather and e-mail.
The sleekest unlock method ever!
The Bad:
Cost!!!!!! (can get over it when you understand its flash based - just!)
Cannot be used like normal external hard drive - have to use with iTunes
Lack of video playback formats compared to other PVP.
The Ugly:
I don't think so!!!
Quality Sound - 12 Mar 2008

I am just buying my i-touch, so can not comment on it yet, but having read the comments on the sound quality, would like to recommend the Griffin "EarJams". They increase the volume and the sound quality is unbelievable. These Earjams can be bought on Amazon for around £5.00, and will be the best accessory you ever buy for your i-pod or i-touch

Just some comments on review that I have seen here.
1. WiFi: I've seen a comment about not being able to connect to the BT router. I never had this problem, neither have my friends who own the iPod touch 16GB
2. Sound quality: the earphones that come with the iPod are absolutely useless. To increase the sound quality radically you do NOT have to spend 100s of pounds. iStuff Sound Isolating Earphones work extremely good with the iPod touch and cost only £8.99.
3. Calendar and Contacts: Contrary to some reviews you can add your own contacts and calendar events directly on the iPod. The very first version of the firmware did not allow you to that which was fixed way back in October 2007.
In addition there are a whole bunch of really nice and exciting applications out there. Currently you can only use them if you hack your iPod, but Apple is very soon publishing an official API for iPhone and iPod that will allow Application developers to "officially" write new apps for the iPod/iPhone.
My only criticism was the limited memory which has been addreessed by the 32GB version.
Surprisingly good... - 04 Mar 2008

I actually have the 16gb model but considering that most people are probably contemplating the 32gb version now I thought it might be useful to post some general observations applicable to the Touch in general here.
In no particular order:-
- I've had several different Ipods and my only two gripes with previous models have been poor battery life and the ease with which they scratch - surprisingly the Touch's screen is very resiliant and despite the size and brightness of the screen I find the battery life to be really good. I have noticed some scuffs on the back, so I've recently invested in a case, but the screen is very tough. (Be nice if Apple provided at least a basic cover in the bundle!)
- Sound Quality - this will depend A LOT on the earphones you use. The earphones that come bundled with all Ipods are hopeless. If you think they're good, it's because you've never listened to your Ipod through a decent set of earphones. My strong advice to anyone contemplating buying any Ipod is pay that bit extra for some good earphones. My favouries are Shure (they range from about £50 to £250 but even the bottom of the range is head and shoulders above the bundled Ipod earphones). Other decent makes include Eyetomic, Ulitmate Ears and Denon. If you can afford to add some decent earphones to your order you will really benefit from a boost in sound quality.
- Using the touch screen is very easy to get used to and quickly becomes second nature. However, using your fingers means that it does inevitably get a bit smeared after a while (yes I do have clean hands!) so be prepared to give it a wipe from time to time. I have also found that if my hands are quite cold it can seem a bit slower to respond when I touch the screen - not a significant issue though.
- It definitely has that wow factor - it's just a very nice looking piece of kit.
- The Touch is the only Ipod I've had that doesn't suffer from occasional freezing - I've not had to reset it once despite several months of daily use.
- The calander is pretty pointless, as you can't add entries to it - you can just sync it to your PC.
- Video quality is very good (depending on the quality of the source material of course)
One final thought - People moaning about the capacity of MP3 players seems something of a red-herring to me; capacity isn't a hidden factor - you buy the player with the capacity you need/want. If you're like me, you don't listen to all of your music all of the time. I have a pretty sizeable collection but even without regular management of songs I've found 16gb to be fine, so 32gb should be fine for all but the heftiest of collections.
Overall, unless you're fixated by having a massive memory capacity in your MP3 player, I'd recommend the Touch (and some decent earphones)
Hope these observations help with your choice.
