Widgets
Widgets are small, incredibly handy applications you can use every day. Three of the most useful widgets now live front and center on your Home screen:

High Technology
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone, the most advanced software ever engineered, and state-of-the-art technology. With the multi-touch display, you can control everything using only your fingers. If you rotate your iPod touch from portrait to landscape, the accelerometer automatically changes the way the content is displayed. And with wireless technology, you can connect to the Internet from any Wi-Fi network, anywhere you are.

Multi-touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone. Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the multi-touch interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page. And iPod touch features a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts.

Ambient Light Sensor
The iPod touch display has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to suit the ambient light in your surroundings. The result? A better experience for you and battery-saving efficiency for iPod touch.

Wireless
Connect to the Internet anywhere there's a Wi-Fi network. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hot spots in your area. iPod touch finds wireless networks and connects you to the Internet.

Accelerometer
An accelerometer detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page, your music in Cover Flow, or a photo in its proper aspect ratio.

What Customers Say About Apple iPod touch 16 GB (1st Generation):

I still feel that they are unwilling to allow other people to help with or share their products, therefore, making it very inconvenient to own and purchase their products. Then it stopped working while still under warranty. and paid $200 to get it serviced. In order to have it serviced, I had to make an appt.

My husband bought an iphone for me. I'm boycotting all apple products from this point on. Not worth the money and effort. It never worked completely right from the beginning.

in a city 100 miles away, and waited there past my appointment time to get it serviced. They apparently never learned from their past misktakes. Apple customer service tried to help, but the suggestions they made were helpful only temporarily. I live in a rural area.

I was refunded my money but why would you sell something that you do not have. I ordered this item and placed a rush on it. I've purchased from Amazon and from third parties before and this was my first such experience.The 16G ipod touch is GREAT but bad experience with this seller. I was disappointed. I then emailed the seller asking when my product would be delivered. It was then that I was emailed and told the item was sold out.

The price was a big detractor but I decided to risk it. The touch is very reliable both in terms of physical sturdiness and software, and it syncs up with itunes very easily, making it easy even for computer illiterate people. I need a new ipod badly, so I'm waiting until September for the new classics to come out and I'll get the biggest one they've got. My first mp3 player was a silver ipod mini, once it started to die I finally decided it was time to upgrade. The touch is just so awesome though, that I would probably fork over the extra cash to get one if they came out with a model that met my space demands.If you don't mind the limited amount of space the touch is great. You even get a few already installed like Safari, Calendar, Mail, Contacts, YouTube, Stocks, Weather, Clock, Calculator, Maps, and Notes.Another great thing about the touch is ease of use. It may be a little pricey for what you get but I think it's worth it overall.

This compliments the smooth touch interface with the brightly lit screen that makes it easy and even a little fun to navigate. Since then my musical taste has greatly expanded and I'm now sitting on roughly 98 gigs of music. Boy was I wrong. I much prefer it to the old scroll wheel design. At the time that I originally purchased this I only had about 6 gigs of music and thought I would never need more that 16 gigs of space.

I went with the ipod touch. The interface also makes it very simple and straightforward to use.My only real complaint is the lack of space. There's games, books, taxes, and more. I've used it for over a year now and overall I'm pretty pleased with my purchase.The touch is very slim and quite good looking if you ask me. I's also got this new thing called apps, which are basically mini programs that you can download and use for various purposes.

Great item for this 64yr old grand dad. Item received noted as "mint"; only the cardboard box was not as new, was fully functional. As hard as i try, it is hard to fill up to capacity with music.

I would definately buy Apple Accessories like this again though, I was thinking about getting the 2nd gen because I sold my first gen. The touch screen is amazing and this is the device that made me fall in love with Apple. I would suggest getting the 2nd generation iTouch they have now because it has an external speaker as well as headphones. Maybe when they come down in price a little. The 2nd generation is also smaller and a little better software updated I believe. I used this mainly as a source to watch portable videos, music, and as an alarm clock and calender and such.

If your looking for a PDA, music, video, calender and such, look no further. Their macbooks are nice, but the performance is not up to par on how much they cost. The amount of applications that you can put on is vast and a lot of them are free which are cool. I am just reviewing this one because this is the one I bought when I had it. Anyways, if you want a great mp3 player, look no further this is the best product you will find, it's simply amazing. I would think 8gb was enough for me because I had about 3 full movies and about 20 mp3 albums on mine and it still didn't touch the storage space.

The first gen you can only use headphones to listen to sound.
