"Like the iPhone you just can't make calls or receive texts but other than that it's cool. You can download all the apps for the iPhone. Make sure you're near a wifi connection other wise you will not have the internet. Cool thing to have and you don't have to pay the expensive iPhone bill."

"I REALLY LOVE THIS IPOD. I HAVE NEVER OWNED ONE BEFORE, AND WHEN I SEEN IT HERE ONLINE AT RADIO SHACK'S WEBSITE, AND READ THE REVIEWS, I WANTED IT BAD!!! i got this for christmas from my father, and I'm glad that I got it! i have bought a bunch of electronics in my past time, but, this one, it's better than my laptop! the battery life is outrageously wonderful. i just put it on charge a minute ago, and i haven't charged it up all day.
this gadget is awesome, and i recommend anybody to get it if they're wanting an ipod that has internet on it."

"I bought this 8 gb iPod Touch in November, when I found a good deal at Toys R Us. I have been saving up for this for a while, (I'm 13) and I think it is fantastic. I've has it for 3 weeks now, and I still play it in most of my free time every day. One main reason I use it is a Game System. There are so many free apps and 99 cent apps that last you so long and are so much fun to play. For example, Pocket God, for $0.99, was the first app I bought and I still play it a lot. (I'm not going to describe it-go look on iTunes yourself!!) It's a great Computer, too. I have gone on the computer twice since I got this thing, and only for homework. The internet is Fantastic (unlike the PSP...) and it makes the page fit onto the little screen. Great music quality, Great Picture on the Videos, and the Keyboard is incredibly easy to use. Overall, the best money that I have spent in years, and I highly reccamend it to anybody."

"Being a music teacher and musician, I like to be able to use my iPod while on the job. With this product, I don't need to worry about having a computer or wall outlet everywhere I go. The battery lasts me longer than any other Apple product that I have owned. The controls are so simple that, when necessary, my students can use my iPod without me having to explain anything to them about how. The only negative thing is that I should have gotten a case sooner. The back is easily scratched, but now that I have a case, I don't worry about that."
