Apple iPod touch 16GB Review

Driven principally by Apple’s phenomenally successful iPod music players, and to a lesser extent its range of iMacs and notebooks, computing has gone from being kept at arm’s length to all touchy-feely. And in the company’s latest gadget - the iPod touch - Apple has taken that metaphor and turned it into reality. For its flagship flash-based media player it has dumped the click wheel in favour of a touchscreen-drive user interface.

..Of course you can dismiss the touch as an over-priced gimmick - and many people will, justifiably. But that would be ignoring the sheer software and hardware engineering genius that’s gone into making this product viable - and the pleasure you’ll derive from using it. Put simply, if you want to experience the cutting edge in interface design, this is the best way of doing it without saddling yourself with a £35 per month phone bill. Apple has done it again. Bravo.
