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) OLD MODEL:

The iTouch is a great device, as long as you understand that it has the Apple limitations.Video, sound and control are virtually great. It's really good for reading books, surfing the web and watching movies.My main gripe is that it won't play all available sound/video formats and the fact that safari lacks a "Search" option for searching text within the page you're currently on.As a side note: ever since installing OS 3.x the device has started suffering frm slowdowns, so be wary of that and only install the OS -which isn't free- if you must.

All together The iPod is okay but the battery only last a few hours. But I take it that there not made like this the seller didn't inform me that the iPod was faulty. On top of that It took almost two week to receive the item.But the seller did meet his deadline and will never buy an Item from him again.

Holds all my CD's and 6 movies too. I love it so much.It saves me on road trips and flights to any where. Now can you make a solar charger for it.

One nice thing is that you can turn the screen off while listening to music or an audiobook. And that's part of the beauty of the design of the TOUCH. It's sexy, sleek, and amazing. The exception was the 3-year-old.

While springing from the same nucleus, they are different. More than that, the whole family suddenly had to have it. The TOUCH is slimmer, has no phone, no GPS, and no speaker. The device is small enough to take everywhere but the screen is large enough to watch movies on. She'd asked, "Where's Daddy's special little TV." Now at age 4, she's also playing - and winning - several of the games. I was reminded of the classic movie The Gods Must Be Crazy when the Coke bottle landed in the middle of the tribe and soon no one could live without it.

Well, not usually, but when my husband bought a TOUCH, I very quickly became hooked. It's the tricorder I wanted as a child. I actually like that it is not also my phone, but I wouldn't give it away if it were. The IPOD TOUCH is a device from the future. It is truly a paradigm-shifting design.The TOUCH and the iPhone are fraternal twins.

Of course, we weren't that bad, really, but the phrase, "Where's the Touch" became quite common. And of course, you have Apple's App store full of every type of program imaginable. Everyone understands the basic rules of how the apps work. What can I said that hasn't already been said. For my tastes, that's just fine, although a speaker would be nice. We have the 16GB version which is plenty for a score of movies/TV shows, plus some music, audiobooks, and a slew of apps. I'm just leery of all-in-one products.

Battery life is descent, but we always have a charger close at hand. We've had our TOUCH for more than 2 years, and we still love it. Do I sound like a gadget fangirl. It goes everywhere with us and truly has us spoiled. It's clean. Everyone can turn it on, flick through the screens, and find they app they want. You can even play games while listening to your own music.

More on that in my review of the Samsung Omnia.

bucks is not enough, that it should be made obsolete so that if I wanted the latest version, with a speaker and the capability to load software games, I'd have to buy a completely new unit for the same price. I bought this "first generation" iTouch about a year ago. Apple, in it's wisdom, has decided that paying[.]. They even make you pay for a software upgrade (things other electronics companies offer for free), but not if you have the "first generation" iTouch, which they have decided to NOT support. Thanks, Apple, this is my first purchase from you, and my LAST.
