Or perform some sleight of hand by opening two fingers to zoom in. You can even play slideshows, complete with music and transitions.

The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch tells you what's playing in select Starbucks and lets you buy it along with other featured Starbucks content. So you can sip, shop, and listen.
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, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, entering calendar events, 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.
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.

Apple 8 GB iPod touch .......2007-12-26
When I first got my iPod Touch, I thought, "Wow, this will be a fun thing to have". I opened the slick Black box and took out the iPod. It had a beautiful screen(which it actually glass)and had a great look to it. I couldn't wait to load up my songs. I put the USB into the iPod than my computer, loaded up iTunes and waited. "Cannot connect to your iPod. required software is needed". After 2 hours of the same old error, I took it back to get another one. Maybe this iPod was a dud. After I got my new one, same thing. I started all over. I deleted and cleared out everything that had to do with Apple. iTunes, Quicktime and the iPod driver, everything. I reinstalled everything I needed. I worked! Maybe I actually installed something that was "required". I put in my iPod and it found it. I started to load up my songs and it kept losing a connection. I had to close out iTunes because it wouldn't reconnect. I loaded iTunes and it did find it again but it sill lost a connection. After putting on 12 songs, lost connection. If it did keep finding my iPod I didn't care if it only loaded up 10 songs at a time. After 4 hours to load up 400 songs, and 2 hours to edit them I had my iPod all set. I loaded up my iPod and went into the song section. The sound was great. Very clear and loud. Listening to about 10 songs, I heard silence. Great another problem. The song wouldn't play. Then a few more didn't play and so on. Only half of the songs played. I went back into iTunes and reloaded the songs that didn't play. Same thing. I thought maybe I was the only person who was having this problem. Go to the Apple website and to the message board. About 40 people were having the same problems.
Now for the features of the iPod Touch. It has a calculator, Internet connection for web browsing, music, settings, and the time. Really. After all the commercials and ads of the stupid shadow dancers, I really expected a lot more features.
For the look of it, it's really is nice. It's about the size of a Razr and has the same weight. It's very bright and clear. Very slick looking.
For the feel of it. It great. The screen is very sensitive and responsive. When selecting, it really never got confused and selected the wrong thing I touched. That's actually a good thing about it.
For the sound. It excellent. Just as loud and clear as my old (working) iPod.
The accessories were pretty disappointing. USB, head phones, and a stand which no one ever uses. For the booklet. Nothing. I mean yes it does come with one but it's just a legal thing. No booklet of the iPod itself. It does have a "Get started" booklet but it's nothing you already don't know.
It was very easy to use and operate. If you've used an iPod before, it will take you literally about 5 minutes to remember where all the limited features are. If you've never used an iPod, you will have a tough time.
Some of you who are reading this will say It's me and not the iPod. My old iPod; my Brother and Father's are working just fine. 3 iPod Nano's. I would stick with that until they fix the bugs and for the price to go down. Don't even think about getting this for a while.
Good product.......2007-12-24
I think though the price of iPod touch would be a little higher, it is still worth to have it, especially after you hacked it to get many more functions. Now I think it is much better than I expected before I bought it.
Shiny........2007-12-22
Okay, so I can completely understand why the Touch isn't getting unanimous rave reviews. But read it from someone who's never wanted an iPod before that this particular product is something to be taken with; I can't keep my hands off of it and I've had it for a good deal more than 24 hours.
The touch screen, amazing clarity, and WiFi are what made me give in to Apple, and I have to hand it to them. It's probably the most advanced product in my house. Just a few cons:
I wish it came with a speaker, like the iPhone. I have a younger sister who'd like to watch movies on it with me during roadtrips, so I had to go buy a portable hookup. (Check out the Altec Lansing Orbit speaker!)
Two, the "compatible only with iTunes" wasn't a bowl of fun to deal with when I first connected it to the computer. I spent two hours uninstalling and reinstalling programs when all I needed to do was unblock the Apple Mobile Service on my antivirus system. It's much easier to open up the USB drive with my Creative Zen player and drop and drag songs than sync the iPod to iTunes every time.
Logging into Hotmail tends to be a failed task for me. It's my main e-mail, and I've only been able to log on once. When I was playing with the testers at the Apple store, I wasn't able to log onto Hotmail, either.
But, the good? Love the cover flow, the photo section (excellent for vertical pics!), and video. And the fact that you can listen to music while you surf the web. The storage space is just fine for myself as well; I'd rather not carry my entire music and video collection with me when I go out. If you've never owned an iPod before, don't want the phone contract and are looking for something quality, go for the Touch. Especially if you're entitled to a present or have extra cash/gift cards from the holidays!
hot stuff.......2007-12-22
Wow this is so cool it's unreal wish it had a built in speaker though
All Tech Products Should be this GOOD!.......2007-12-21
This is simply the best music, movie, media player and with Wi-Fi built-in you can browse the internet, get your mail, etc! It's insanely great!
