We reviewed a similar model of the iPod Touch, the 32 GB model. We've included a brief summary here of some of the features, to read the full review, check out the Apple iPod Touch 32GB review.

Features

The iPod Touch itself is a subtle but gorgeous design. 4.3 X 2.4 inches, and only a third of an inch thick. The external controls are only the necessary ones; volume control and the sleep/wake button. Everything else is controlled with the innovative touch screen. There are so many options and functions, but the intuitive interface lends itself to effortless control.

Listening to your music collection is only one of many media elements that the iPod touch excels at. You can view movies (in widescreen display), browse the internet with Wi-Fi (email, documents, maps, YouTube), and even play games. In fact, the novelty of touch is combined with the direction sensing accelerometer, the iPod Touch has a unique potential for original games and other inventive uses. But more than simply being an entertaining novelty, the iPod Touch lends itself to some amazingly useful tools and programs.

The countless downloadable applications available through the Apple App Store set the iPod Touch apart from the crowd. There is a multitude of apps available in a variety of categories, including games, social networking, news, weather, travel, business, books, and many more. These apps are usually only a dollar or two, and often even free.

The Apple iPod touch is a shining example of what a true portable media player should be like. It earns a Best Buy from us, despite being somewhat expensive, for its touchscreen interface as well as the audio and video playback quality.

This is one of the sharpest bits of tech we've ever seen – it's just let down by the fact that iPhone does more, and iPod Classic has more room. But frankly, even knowing that, our heart still say 'yes'
