7.5/10If the Touch is the player that you want, that you really, really want, you've probably got one already. Fence-sitters should stay there until next year when third-party apps or version 2.0 comes out. Read more

7.5/10Our heart is immediately drawn to the Touch's aesthetic qualities -- sleek design: check; robust feel: check; eye-popping interface: check -- yet our head says that AU$419 for an 8GB player or AU$549 for the 16GB is too much. Combine this with the flaws in the implementation and the unfulfilled potential of its OS X foundations, means we can only recommend it to those who are besotted by its looks and interface -- and we suspect they've already bought theirs.

When looking at the iPod touch , you have a choice: you can either see it as an evolutionary leap for iPod, or a slight downgrade from iPhone. You gain a thinner shell, up to 16GB of storage, but lose a bunch of apps, the phone, and some other surprising things. In our opinion, it’s both the leap and the downgrade, and therein lies the rub.

8.0/10The iPod Touch looks so much like an iPhone that comparisons are inevitable, but that’s not really comparing Apples with Apples — it’s designed to be a touch screen iPod media player, not a touch phone. Read more
