Apple iPod touch 8 GB

- the big 3.5-inch screen can really be called fantastic
- if you rotate the device it switches from portrait to landscape ...uuh fancy
- really nice cover flow, well ok we know that already from the last nano
...ok what else is great, mmh no idea, i think that's all.

- this device is almost as heavy as a small harddisc with case
- you can't touch it with your fingers without hand shoes, cause you'll not get rid of the fingerprints on the screen nor on the back side of the device
- it's not possible to control the iPod in your trouser pocket ...beside the fact it doesn't even fit in it
- the fancy screen rotation doesn't work in all apps
- the safari browser comes without support for flash, that's why quite a big couple of web pages can't be displayed
- it's not able to save web pages in a cache, pretty bad if you want to read your lately visited pages in the subway or at a place without wifi access
- the battery lasts a day for normal use and a couple of hours when wifi has been turned on
- if you'd like to have the really cool apps like google maps on your iPod touch, you'll need to hack the device, cause apple uses them only for their iPhone, which is of course much more expensive
