This player, with 16 GB of memory, is a version of the Apple iPod 2G 32 GB that we tested.

Otherwise, its characteristics are entirely identical, and you can expect to find similar results with this product. Only battery life may vary slightly, but the differences aren't significant enough to affect our tests or the scores we give.

We've been able to confirm this both with our own tests and with assurances from manufacturers.

Pluses

Design and ease of use - new volume control buttons

Navigation, interface and a huge collection of apps

3.5'' screen

Minuses

Mediocre sound quality

Not enough file formats supported

Have to use iTunes

Too easy to mark/scratch the case

Headphones average at best

The iPod Touch can do a lot of things--too much, even. It neglects audio and video playback, though, which is after all the main job of a portable media player.
