iPod Touch 16gb review


Recommended Posts

i got a 80Gb Pod Classic, and a 16GB Touch,, i enjoy the touch above the classic, i rarely even use the classic anymore,, but i do enjoy the Classic over my 60GB 5th Gen. but the Touch does take the Cake

I don't understand why they're calling the 80 gig iPod the Classic when the 60 was out before it? BTW, I have a 60 Video iPod.

It is the "classic" style. Both the 80GB and 160GB are the iPod Classic now.

it'll sync podcasts no problem, on one of the screen shots i posted there was the latest dig video that got synced on there

Howdy - I'm afraid that the wireless iTunes Store does not automatically grab and sync podcasts. I've done a quick search on there using my Touch, but nope, PodCasts cannot be seen, subscribed, checked and downloaded :(

I'd love for this feature to be available - would be great to sync my podcasts when popping past a free wireless point.

Note that iTunes Wireless Store doesn't have videos yet, either - so hopefully both podcast and video is only a matter of time away...

Where are you guys shopping? My apple store has a wall of them that aren't really moving or they just restock quick I guess. I wasn't sure about buying one, but your review has convinced me. Off to the apple store I go.

Buy the way, how do you people carry your iPod Touch on your person? Just in your pocket? Since the screen is scratch resistant like the iPhone correct?

I purchrased mine at FutureShop (in canada). It doesn't matter where you purchase it, the prices are all the same. In terms of where i put it when i am walking around and how I store it, I just throw it in my pocket. I have ordered a case for it on ebay mainly for the back of it (i have had it for a week and the back is hella scracted up). The back is just like any other ipod where it is vulnerable to any and all sort of scratches.

Invisible shield. Got one for my 16Gb touch and its truely amazing. Apply it right and you don't even know its there. :)

Plus you can ram this thing in your pocket now and it not get scratched :)

I Love the Jailbreak, it'll tie me over until Apple release the proper SDK.

Got the SE K850i Today, and it compliments the touch so well.

Might write a review for it :)

Has anyone here that had a 30g video moved onto a 8 or 16g touch? I'm considering moving over to a touch and keeping my video to use wile skiing (this way I don't have to worry about breaking it). I have about 7.2g of music and really am not concerned about putting videos on it, although I would like to be able to fit a good amount of apps. (I can probably bring my music collection down to about 5g if needed to fit crucial apps. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to go with the 8g? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with the 16g for $100 more? Alternatively would it be a better idea to just scrap the idea and stick with the video? Thanks for your opinions guys, much appreciated.

So just the Invisible Shield? Just stick it in your pocket and everything is ok? No carrying case needed for protection?

So what kind of stuff do you have running on your Touch with Jailbreak? Is it easy to go back to the official firmware?

I believe if you just plug it in and hit "restore" in itunes it will remove jailbreak and bring it back to teh factory default.

A bunch of stuff, nintendo, mail, google maps, Tap Tap Revolution (like dance dance, but tappy tappy), tetris, VNC, SSH, IM client, notepad, dictionary, labyrinth and so on, there is jsut to many to name and the list is just getting bigger.

excellent review. Mine is on the way now. 16gb also, was looking for a decent review so I am glad it was here.

Good Job. Also when i get it expect a pm on the howto of hacking it

no worries, bring it on

Meh, i am about to order one of this i want the 16GB, but then i think about the $400...... and all the things i could buy with that money.

Does it really, REALLY worth it to spend that kind of money on this gadget??

Take in an old iPod, like a Shuffle, and get 10% off. I took in a broken 1G Shuffle for recycling and got the discount.

I want the ipod touch, not a shuffle or classic or nano.

but then again, does it really worth it, is it really that good of a gadget?

No, if you take another iPod in for recycling they can apply the 10% discount towards an iPod Touch. I'm just saying I had an old iPod Shuffle that didn't work anymore so it was a no brainer for me to take in. Worth it unless you can get more for eBaying whatever iPod you may already have, if any.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
