"Do NOT buy from AccessoryWizard!!!!!! NO GREEN DOT!" 2009-10-03
By J. Yasamine (South Bay, CA USA)
I was so excited to get my new Ipod Touch 3g from my girlfriend for our anniversary that I didn't want her to have to pay $30 for this charger at the Apple store. I went ahead and ordered this one from Accessory Wizard because 1) it said it had the green dot which meant it was post recall and would be safe for my new, very expensive gift. 2) It said fulfillment by Amazon which made me trust this seller.



BIG MISTAKE.



First of all when it got here it was not in a box, just a plastic bag and it did NOT have the green dot on it like it promised it would.



I asked the dude at Apple if he thought it would be OK and he said, he wouldn't take the chance but I could still find it online for cheaper then at their store (so he wasn't trying to make the sale.) In the end, we bought the one at the Apple store to be sure that we didn't cause any harm to the ipod with a cheap, knockoff charger to safe a few bucks.



OK, so I figured i could just return it for a full refund since it's Amazon and they have always stood by their products. Well I was WRONG.



After dealing with some costumer service rep that barely spoke English I get an email saying I'm only getting half of my money back! WTF is up with that? They lied to me and now they're keeping half my money for a restocking fee??????!!!!!



DO NOT BUY FROM Accessory Wizard.



If you spent all that money on an Ipod or Iphone, protect your gadget and buy a legit charger direct from Apple. Ave yourself the headache.

"Lies" 2009-09-28
By Buyer
If you do some research, you are told that only the ones with the green dot on it, actually works. This is not the case. The one that came in the mail for me had a green dot but didn't work anyways. It kept coming out of the wall and would not charge my Ipod. When you plug it in to your Ipod, it shows that it is charging, however, after a couple of hours, and some unplugging, it is evident that the charger did nothing, and your Ipod is still uncharged. Returning this charger is also a pain because it doesn't come with a packing slip! And the "from" address is slightly unclear and sketchy. DON'T BUY IT.

Item came complete but was missing USB cable, but upon closer inspection, cable did not come with Power Adapter. It arrived in excellent condition and well within time frame. Except for lack of a cable, it's a great buy.

"Not what was advertised, but I did receive my charger..." 2009-09-25
By J. Zeiser
This product arrived in a bag on my doorstep already scratched. I talked to AccessoryOne customer service and was told that this simply happens when the chargers are being transported from Apple into the envelopes they are shipped in. After my first one arrived scratched, they sent me another one that came in the same condition as the first. I contacted AccessoryOne again about this purchase and received the same story. After asking for a refund of my purchase I was told that I could just keep the product. In the end, I got 2 power adapters for free...which is a shame for AccessoryOne. I would recommend this product with the understanding that it will most likely not be in new condition (at least not with my experience). Might not be good for a gift, but if you need a charger for yourself and don't need it in perfect condition, it will do the job.

"Great Case, may interfere with Wifi Signal, Speck's Customer service is Awesome!" 2009-10-07
By sktech (Middlesboro, KY United States)
Great case, but may interfere with wifi signal for your iTouch! First of all, let me say that I really like this case. It seems as though it would really protect your iTouch if you accidentally dropped it. It adds to the overall size of the iTouch and makes it easier for larger hands to use it. The reports about it being a lint magnet are definitely true, but that is a non-issue for me as I am more interested in protecting my investment. I also like the fact that the case has external sections that line up with the iTouch buttons on the sides and help you in pressing those often difficult-to-press buttons. However, sadly, the major drawback I had with this case is the fact that it was causing me to lose Wifi signal in various places. I did brief testing with it in different areas to make sure that was the problem, and sure enough, with the case removed, I got perfect signal once again. This leads me in to my next review: Speck's customer service. Now, go ahead, tell me I shouldn't be reviewing the company in this review, but I say it is worth talking about. I contacted Speck customer service to see if anyone had reported similar issues with this particular case. They responded within 10 minutes of my initial email and began working on a resolution. The next day, after researching the issue, the customer service rep informed me that there were no known issues with the case causing signal interference. The rep then proceeded to offer me a replacement case. Not wanting to choose the same type of case again, I decided to go with their opaque black acrylic (or plastic) case. The price difference between the replacement case and one I originally bought was double. Not only did Speck replace the case for FREE, they also shipped it FREE using Fedex 3 day shipping. Overall I am impressed with 2 things: The quality of their products and their phenomenal customer service. They were friendly and fast, and that makes me a Speck customer far into the future!



Hope this review helps someone make the right choice!

"Great case" 2009-10-02
By Daniel Coville (San Clemente, california)
I have owned a few different types of cases, and this one is by far my favorite. I've had it for about a three months now. It takes two seconds to slip on, and has never come off. I love the design, it's not bulky and leaves enough room open on the bottom that I have no trouble charging it or plugging it in in my car (which was a problem with my last case.) Coupled with a screen protector I never worry about anything happening to my iPod. I take to the beach everyday, to the skatepark (where I have fallen onto it multiple times) and it is still in perfect condition. Also, I have never had any problems with it attracting lint, which some of the reviews stated. Like I said, I take it everywhere, and it still looks brand new, but most importantly, so does my iPod.

"good cover" 2009-09-25
By Matthew Robinson (boston)
Cover slips on easily and is well-matched to the ipod touch. I can use the buttons on the ipod easily, except sometimes the on/off switch takes more than one try. This case is smooth, so it tends not to turn my pant-pockets inside out. I'd buy it again.

 "A Zune Review" 2009-10-07
By John C. (GA)
As someone who has had numerous PMPs through the years, I can honestly say that this new Zune HD is the nicest one of them all, albeit with a few quirks.



First, the OLED 480x272 screen is everything you have heard about and more. The colors are vivid, rich, and very realistic. It is a great screen in all aspects except for viewing in direct sunlight (I have yet to see any screen perform well under such circumstances). The refresh rate seems to be quite good.



The design of the Zune itself is very nice -- a metal back with 4 screws add a kind of industrial design. It weights less than you expect it to, however. The first time you pick it up is very surprising. The power button is on top, another button about 2/3s of the way up on the left side, and then the button on the face of the device below the screen. The headphones jack and the connector are on the bottom. It looks great!



The software has some quirks and it isn't the most intuitive to use, especially for the first time; however, neither was Itunes. I expect with some time it will be quite easy to navigate. Getting through the menus on the device take a little getting used to...but after about 10 minutes, you'll be a pro. It is very fast and responsive.



The response of the software in doing things (ie: accessing songs, submenus, changing the orientation, etc.) leaves all of the Ipods in the dust. It is much more responsive.



Sound quality is quite good -- noticeably better than my Ipod Touch when outputting by headphones and by dock to an A/V setup.



Now, for some downsides.



The included headphones are fairly terrible. Do yourself a favor and get a nicer set.



There is absolutely no documentation included and you have to login to download the Zune software before you attach it to your computer.



There is no speaker on the Zune, itself. Kind of silly but I got used to having one.



Zune Pass is great. $15/month, keep 10 songs forever (non-DRMed) and download as much as you want. It is honestly the BEST value out there without a doubt.



In short, it is a great device. As long as MS continues great support and continues adding functionality, apps, etc. it is an Ipod killer.

 "This is for those who are deciding to get the Zune HD, or an iTouch..." 2009-10-07
By A. Bostick (Austin Networks)
This will sound wierd but I don't own a Zune HD...yet

But I hope that I can help those that are deciding wether to get an Hd or an iTouch, so I'll put in some of my own ideas and thoughts.



As some of you know, Apple almost filed bankruptcy in '97, and were thinking about selling themselves to Sega. But instead, they took the pain of the mad Apple Supporters, and let Microsoft buy 150 million dollars worth of their market or whatever. So think, they depended on MS, their competitor, to stay in business.

Sothat meant that there was one thing that Aple addmitted:

1. That Microsoft was better, they wouldn't say it out loud, otherwise they would go deeper than rock bottom. They depended on a company that was their comptetitor, the one that was successful, and with all the money. Microsoft.

So apparently, by popular demand, MS was better overall.



I know, that was 12 years ago, things can change, I mean, Look at Apple now, they made the largest comeback in U.S history. So here's my point:



Businesses Grow. Microsoft was concentrating more on other things, such as their Operating systems, programming, Windows Mobile, and other things, just not Media entertainment, until the 4-5 years ago that they made the first Zune 30gb.



Most of Apple's Revenue comes from iPods, more than their Macs, and such, so apparently, Apple has been concentrating on Media Entertainment. Are you following up on what I'm saying?



The Zune HD can grow, Microsoft just got down and dirty when they released the HD, they have to now deal with Internet access, Apps, the new programs they put in the HD's OS, New things they aren't completely all-knowing about when they put that stuff into their First ever touch screen Media Player.



So give the Hd some time, it WILL grow. It will have Apps, It will be better than the iTouch.

You will hear some people say that the Zune HD doesn't have any actual High Definition programmed into it, NOT TRUE.

The iPhone 3G has 1020p and is supposed to be High Def.

The Zune HD has 720p, I have seen a video myself of someone comparing those two products, And the Zune HD still came out on top with the High-Def.

Why? I don't know why, when I saw te video, the Zune HD had more color, it was eye-popping amazing Color. I wouldn't lie to you.





Anyway, give it some time to grow, I'm not saying not to buy it now, by all means, if your looking for a good player, but it. But you WILL see growth in the Zune HD.

 "SOFTWARE PROBLEMS!!!" 2009-10-07
By D. Kester
Forget buying a Zune if you use a web based email. Microsoft has changed their terms of agreement and will no longer let you use a web based email. I've been a Zune owner for two years and used Hotmail for 8 and now I've got a useless electronic brick since I use Hotmail. Nevermind that Microsoft owns Hotmail and Zune, they clearly don't have an idea of what they're doing. I'll never buy a Zune product again!!!

 "Frustrating and Wonderful" 2009-10-05
By J. Morton (San Francisco, CA USA)
THe Zune HD is a beautiful little device with a gorgeous screen and absolutely the coolest *looking* interface on the planet. I would give it five stars if not for some really major drawbacks. On the plus side, the HD radio is vastly superior to any alternative out there. If you are looking for a device that you plan to use largely as a radio, this may be the device for you. The Wow Factor is pretty high. People do find it beautiful. It is small, but not too small, and the OLED screen is dazzling (although my iPhone was easier to read in bright sunlight). As a music player is works just fine. The interface for loading music is a little messy, but not to the point of aggravation. The Zune Pass is a great way to add music at a reasonable price (essentially the same as Rhapsody To Go).



Now for the minus side. As I'm sure you've already discovered, the App store is spectacularly pathetic. There is no evidence at this time that they are going to make it easy for developers to improve this, so, for now, the Zune HD is a severely hobbled device when compared to the iPod Touch. The addition of a few Internet radio apps, such as Pandora, Slacker, and LastFM, would double the value of this device alone. The software that you install on your computer to communicate with this device is beautiful to look at, but has some serious problems. If you have a Mac, just forget about this device altogether. There is no Mac support (big surprise there). If you have a PC, prepare for the Zune software to eat up every available bit of space when it is running. This thing is major resource hog. If you are trying to run it while working, expect twenty second delays every time you switch between programs. When it is running, the Zune display of information on the computer is really pretty, but what a high price to pay for this.



All in all, I like the Zune HD a lot. If you don't currently have a Touch or an iPhone, you listen to radio a lot, and you own a PC, this is an excellent choice. If you are a Mac user, this is a definite DO NOT buy. What it does, it does well. If Microsoft can improve the application offerings, this may be a real challenge to the iPod supremacy, but I'm not holding my breath.

iPod touch features Safari, the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device. See the web in your hands the same way you see it on a computer. All you need is a Wi-Fi connection.

Browse Anywhere
iPod touch is the only iPod with built-in wireless access to the web. Whenever you're connected via Wi-Fi, you can access your favorite websites to read news, check scores, pay bills, and go shopping. And if you're using the new 32 GB or 64 GB iPod touch, you'll notice that web pages load even faster than before.

Search the Web
iPod touch syncs your bookmarks from your PC or Mac, so you can access your favorite sites quickly. It has Google and Yahoo! search built in, so it's easy to find what you're looking for on the web.

Web Clips
If you check a website frequently--a favorite newspaper, blog, or sports site--why not create a Home screen icon, or web clip, for it? Make web clips with Safari, and your favorite sites are always just a tap away.

Zoom
Get a closer look at any web page by zooming in and out with a tap or a pinch of the Multi-Touch display. View websites in portrait or landscape. Rotate iPod touch 90 degrees and the web page rotates, too.

mail on iPod touch looks and works just like email on your computer.

With Maps and a Wi-Fi connection, you can get directions, find local businesses, and check traffic.

Mail
Email on iPod touch looks and works just like email on your computer. And it works with the email accounts you already have.

View Messages and Attachments
iPod touch supports rich HTML email, so images and photos appear alongside text. And you see email attachments in their original formats, not stripped-down versions. Rotate, zoom, and pan in more than a dozen standard file and image formats, including PDF; Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and iWork.

Access All Your Accounts
Access your email from popular providers--including MobileMe, Google Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, and AOL--and most industry-standard IMAP and POP mail systems.

Compose Instantly
iPod touch recognizes email addresses in different applications. If you run across an email address on a web page or a map listing, for example, just tap it and iPod touch opens a new message and addresses it for you.

Type Smart
With its built-in dictionary,* the intelligent iPod touch keyboard predicts and suggests words as you type, making it fast and easy to write email. And when you rotate iPod touch on its side, the keyboard instantly switches from portrait to landscape for larger keys and more room to type.

Search Your Inbox
No need to scroll through message after message in your inbox looking for the right one. A quick downward flick brings up a search field that lets you find email by sender, recipient, subject, or all headers.

Maps
Find your way and a place to eat. With Maps and a Wi-Fi connection, you can get directions, find local businesses, and check traffic.

Find Yourself
iPod touch finds your location using known Wi-Fi hotspots. It also finds points of interest by keyword: Search for "coffee" and iPod touch shows you cafes nearby.

Get Directions
Just type in an address and get directions from wherever you are. Choose the method of transportation--car, public transit, or on foot--and view a list of turn-by-turn directions. See a highlighted map route with estimated travel time. You can also mark specific locations and find the best route between them.

With Voice Memos, you can record any audio you want using the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic or an external mic.

See Traffic
Maps on iPod touch shows you live traffic information, indicating traffic speed along your route in easy-to-read green, red, and yellow highlights.

YouTube
Skateboarding moves gone wrong. Hilarious commercials from another country. Whatever the video, iPod touch has your YouTube addiction covered.

Email your favorite videos to your favorite people. Tap Share on any YouTube video detail page and iPod touch creates an email with the video link already in it.

Tune Your Run
iPod touch includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (available separately) into your Nike+ shoe and start your run. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. It even gives you voice feedback on your progress.

Tune Your Cardio Workout
This feature also works with new cardio equipment available in many fitness centers. Just look for Nike + iPod compatible treadmills, ellipticals, stair steppers, and stationary bikes.

Sync with nikeplus.com
When you get back to your computer, sync your iPod touch with iTunes and transfer your exercise data to nikeplus.com, where you can track your workouts, set goals, and challenge friends.

Record Memos (or Any Audio)
Record a simple to-do, your next big idea, or a bet between you and your friend. With Voice Memos, you can record any audio you want using the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic or an external mic. Voice Memos will record even when you're using your iPod touch to do things such as checking email or surfing the web.

Edit Memos
You can trim recorded memos right on iPod touch. That way, you keep only what you need.

Manage Memos
Keep all your memos organized by choosing labels from a predefined list or by creating custom labels.

iPod touch Technology

Pioneering hardware technology built into iPod touch is how you're able to flick, tap, and pinch. It's what makes that racing game feel so real. It's why you're able to tweet what you just overheard in the cafe. And it's the reason iPod touch is the most amazing iPod you'll ever own.

Multi-Touch
The Multi-Touch display layers a protective shield over a capacitive panel that senses your touch using electrical fields. It then transmits that information to the LCD screen below it. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely.

Accelerometer
The accelerometer inside iPod touch allows it to detect when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. The accelerometer really shines when you play games, because it immerses you in the action. It's perfect for racing games, where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel, and for tap-and-tilt games such as Rolando, in which your movements control the action.

Wireless
iPod touch has built-in support for 802.11b/g wireless technology. That means you can get online anywhere there's Wi-Fi. Send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music and more from the iTunes Store. iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you've never used a particular network, Wireless Icon it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you're within range, it connects automatically.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a form of wireless technology that lets you use devices without the hassle of cables or wires. What does that mean for iPod touch? It means you can use iPod touch with Bluetooth headphones and listen to your music no matter where in the room your iPod touch is. So lounge on your bed, while your iPod touch charges on your desk. Bluetooth on iPod touch is also great for peer-to-peer gaming.

Design
iPod touch is as remarkable outside as it is inside. Holding one is all the proof you need. With its curved design, iPod touch is a mere 8.5 mm thin. Its optical glass front and polished stainless steel back feel sleek and smooth in your hand. Turn it on, and instantly you're impressed by the brilliant 3.5-inch display. iPod touch is the perfect combination of stunning design and revolutionary technology--the total, beautiful package.

 "Huge Dissapointment" 2009-10-07
By S. Samady
Do not buy this! This is NOT the iPod Touch 3RD GEN! IT'S NOT! It's a stupid repackaged 2nd gen! Please tell everybody! The only 3rd gen is 32gb and 64gb! It doesn't have a microphone nor does it a voice control. It's exactly like the 2nd gen. Apple is very unprofesisonal for this.

 "Greatest buy of my year" 2009-10-07
By S. Luong (nevada)
I am very happy with my purchase. The part that kind of ticks me off is i purchased around sept 22. and on sept 26ish they lower the price from 400-380. So in a sense i paid $20 extra just to get my item 4 days earlier. I also heard somewhere that amazon no longer price match so that is a big bummer.



Sound quality is great with the apple include earphones. Their decent but not the greatest. I can definitely tell the difference between inear and earphones. I would suggest everyone to invest in inear earbuds and save your apple earphones for if your inear earbuds break.



I mainly purchased the ipod touch for the application use. So far i am very happy. With apple always giving out free apps it can basically pay itself off if you get those promo free apps every week.



The touch is very responsive more than the iphone 3g not 3gs.



64 gigs of music apps and movies is unbeatable. I cant wait for it they come out with a 80 or even a 120 ipod touch. I would jump on that and pre-order it and everything.



I am not a big fan of using itunes as i have a lot of albums with duplicate songs which kind of bites. As it takes forever to delete songs individually. Other than that I'm quite pleased.



I take it everywhere with me and i wouldn't look back.



So if you are on the boarder line on getting this i say jump on it. Even if your not a big movie or music person. the apps and versatility is worth the price alone.

the only difference between this 3rd generation and the 2nd gen is that the 3rd has a mic and better processing power. i would never use a mic, and the 2nd generation's procesor is great. GET THE 2ND GENERATION.

 "a 4,5 star average" 2009-10-05
By onlyme1234 (netherlands)
I've had my ipod touch for two days now (and played with it for two days). Since there are many, many reviews written about the technology etc, I won't write about that. Let me state first that I did some reading on the subject before I bought the ipod and that my main goal was to have an MP3 player with enough GB to contain all my music and some of my video's and have a small carryable 'computerlike device' for internet and mail (at home, at work and on vacation since most hotels have free WiFi for guest nowadays).



I'll write a review from a user's point of view. And more important, I think I'm just an average user and a first time Ipod touch user (I already owned an ipod classic though).



On the very positive side:



I wasn't looking for a cell phone or a camera (could have bought the Iphone then), since I already own fine working devices for both (who wants a 3 megapixel camera on a phone anyway if you own a credit card sized 12.1 megapixel camera, which can make video's in HD quality at the same time and I never use the camera on my cell phone for that reason). Sure, you have to carry more devices in your bag, but that's the choice you make for quality especially as regards the camera and video.



The problem with multi tasking small devices in my opinion is that normally you have everything in a poor to reasonable and nothing in excellent quality. Not so the Ipod Touch 3rd gen.



First I think it is a great gadget and more. I've had no trouble whatsoever to install and use it, without having to refer to the manual at any time. I am lucky to have WiFi everywhere I'm in a building (at home, work, hotels, my parents etc), so e-mail and internet is no problem. I installed skype, which works fine and I even free installed software for traffic news and since I live in the Netherlands, something called 'uitzending gemist'. I can watch missed TV programmes on streaming video, which to my surprise really works great. I've tried everything I could 'click' on and while I won't use everything on a regular basis, it all works fine except for some (minor) points you can read in my review further on.

You can listen to the music without the earphones, which is quite nice (but don't expect great sound quality, just good enough to listen to video's and TV)

And since I have small hands, I have no problems entering a text. But I imagine someone with bigger hands could have some problems there (but hey what do you expect, we want devices as small as this and expect them to do everything and anything??).

Loading internet pages, sending email and getting e-mail: very fast! One of the many surprises.



Compared to the ipod classic it is great to have this big screen and it is easier to use.



On the negative side:



I tried the microphone which works fine for Skype etc, but not for the use of voice control (name a musical number??). The only composer it recognizes seems to be Mozart. But if I want Verdi, all I get is some rock song. I dont know if this works better in English, since I have the Dutch language installed on my pod. Anyway, a small negative since I did not intend to use it much. But I think the problem might be in the pronunciation of words. It probably expects me to pronounce words like it is spoken in Dutch, which might be a problem if all you listen to are foreign composers and singers (but I had a blast listening to the music I have and didn't know I had on my pod).

The battery, that could be a more serious problem if you like to watch video's, say on vacation (of course at home i'll use my TV). Here is where my knowledge of technology fails, because I don't know if it's possible to have a longer lasting battery in a device this small. I'd have liked it though, if the battery lasted longer than it does now. Especially if you use the wireless, that seems to 'suck' energy more than anything.

I have a radio on my Ipod classic which requires no internet, just a radio accessory I bought. Why not on this pod? Maybe I can use streaming internet radio, but that would require internet access which I have a lot of the time, but not always.



On the whole: not sorry to have bought this, even at these prices. There are some (minor) negative points, but then what do you expect. And I could probably have written a lot more, but I think for everyday use, it's about the music, video's, internet and e-mail.



I think the positive sides far outweigh the negatives.

 "Good for "Touching"" 2009-10-05
By Autumn Sky
It's a product designed for portability, simplicity, and ease of use. Icons and "touch" are the principle for its design and use. I find it an excellent product when all you do is using your fingers to select objects and to scroll or enlarge the page you are on. Touching is not meant to replace typing; in other words, this device is better for reading and watching than for typing or large data input. It's a device good for saving your favorite websites or applications for regular use, and apps are plenty. As long as you have wireless access to the internet, it's a pleasure using it. It's an iPod good for music and videos like other iPods, but with wireless internet and the biggest screen. The 32GB is plenty enough for most uses. Too much data stored may change the responsiveness of this device.



While I'm at it, may I say that the iPod shuffle, because of its size and weight, is good for joggers who need only music. The nano is good for the gym since it also has FM radio and voice control. The Classic is for those who have a large collection of music or videos or audio books and have a music system to connect it to. The touch is for those, beside listening to music and watching videos, want some web browsing where there is wi-fi. Because of their differences, it's not unusual for one to own more than one iPod.
