I think its really stupid how you have to go onto itunes to first set up your ipod. i also got one for christmas and my gran doesnt have internet access so i ha dto wait 3 days to set it up.

I needed A LOT of self control this morning to not through the stupid device out the car window this morning

I have a car radio with a usb port, sometimes, the stupid ipod touch will decide not to talk to the radio, and takes 15 mins of retrying to get it to talk to the car usb.

My first and biggest disappointment was that I could not develop software for the device, now i can but it has to be approved by apple (?!?!?!? ) wtf ? what if I want to write a hello world program

I use it mainly as a mp3 player
all the other functions are nice to haves but I can certainly access them from my laptop , faster and more reliably

itunes is another reason I hate the damn thing

I’m going to sell it and get a plain mp3 player.

I hatee my ipod so much! First off, i always have wifi (3 blue bars), and right when i go to the internet, the wifi disapears, or i still have the wifi,but all of the sudden it says, cannot connect to server. Other problems,

>It freezes on me out of nowhere
>I turn off brain trainer notifications, but they still seem to pop up on me.
>It doesnt have a camera! (thats not a huge issue i just want a built in camera! It would be very cool)
>I turn on my calender notifications, but when i have something i forget about, but i wrote it on my ipods calender, it doesnt remind me.
>When i get a new text, it doesnt notify me. But i have my text free notifications on.
>Battery runs low, even when i have my ipod turned off.

And those are just a few problems i have, trust me, theres alooooot more.
Iphones are even worse, so dont get me started!
I dont have one but my friend does and i see ow many problems she has on them.
Hope this gets you out of buying one! Not that i was trying to, but you can still buy one if your real brainy and know how to fix it! haha! Byee,
Julia

I’m still trying to figure out the logic of not including a setting to turn off the moronic auto-turning feature of the screen. It’s beyond annoying, it would be a simple fix, it’s a common and widely-held sentiment, and yet Apple ignores it. The worst part is that the ipad has a switch to turn it off. I think it might just have become the final straw for me with Apple, I’m tired of Apple telling me how I should want to use a device, and I’ll tell them instead how I’ll be spending my money.

JZ,

That’s some argument you have there, all backed up with true premises and logic, congrats, Corky.

For me it is very efficient but not for you because you’re kinda retarded. At least the IPod 2g.

I agree on most points made.

the music player is just plain stupid in function. There should be a setting that holds the mode unless changed. Yes, it’s easy to “turn a doorknob” (jackass who made that comment), but it’s not so easy when you’re riding your bike on the road to work and have a pack on and it’s 28 degrees and the ipod is in your jacket pocket and you have to slide the freakin’ unlock every time. All this to skip to the next song? What kills me is that it’s entirely unnecessary.

Apple is the new conformist. Apple tells YOU what you should want and how YOU should get it. Just look at how usable third-party apps are when you jailbreak an ipod, it makes the ipod 1000x better.

I shouldn’t have to press five buttons and pull the entire unit out of my jacket pocket just to skip to the next song. In 1988 I had a Walkman that I would leave in my backpack as I listened to it. I could ff to the next song by reaching into my pack and pressing one button, didn’t need to “turn a doorknob,” and I didn’t worry about the battery draining needlessly for 60 seconds because Apple felt like it wasn’t important to allow user controls to such a thing, which by the way is obviously Apple’s premeditated decision due to the likelihood of owner’s getting batteries replaced and further adding to Apple’s revenue.

Ipod’s music interface BLOWS HARD.

I hate Apple.

Lol I forgot to say that i own a Classic, a Shuffle, 2 Nanos and one of the old Minis. I just get people to give them to me. I bought a touch but then decided to return it, thats the only reason I know.
I also have a Creative Zen. It was a bit stupid of me to get a Touch because I have over 100gb of music (PLLEEEAAAASSSSEEEE don’t say, ‘but you’re only 13!)
Anyway this is a bit irrelavent, soo…

Personally, I hate the iPod touch. As cool as it may be to carry around the whole world on your iPod, Apple has kinda forgotten the use of an iPod…errr, to play music.
BUT it is pretty hardy. One of my friends has it, she fell over and it knocked into a wall. It has a giant crack but isn’t actually broken. Most of my friends who have the iPod love it (I’m 13).
Having said that, im happy with my Classic, the music player that can be used for, drum roll please, *to play music*. YAY!!!

OMG!!R u serious.I happen to b browsing the Internet on my iPod touch right now,and I can’t help but to say u r so wrong. Everything is so crystal clear,and beautiful. The music player is my fav part bout it. Its hard 2explain how great the graphis r. It’s hands down the best music,web, and spelling corrector ever. Which happens 2b auto correcting right now lol.U can listen to music while u browse the Internet which I happen 2b doing right now. It’s the best keyboard and u can get testing on it I bring my iPod with me evrywhere I go,and idk what I would do without it.it has great apps built in gps Internet,yahoo,gmail,just everything and more. At first I wanted am iPhone, but I’m crazy bout my iPod touch more than I would have liked the iPhone with all the high phone bills. I mean free Internet, crysal clear music,high def,YouTube, great battery life. In my school people just cum up 2 me evryday wanting to listen 2 it. My friend even tld me she was jelly(jelius) it’s hands down an eye catcher(ull get tons of attention…I haven’t had 1flaw or glitch yet. Nor my sis(she has 1also) it also werdly corrects slang words. If I type In idc or idk,or LOL wrong it will auto correct. Idk may-b I just think that’s kewl.it loads rlly fast,and has a beutiful layout for u 2 customize. If I do make spelling errors it’s only b-cuz u am typing super fast. On other touch screens their was no way 2type fast like this. I rlly don’t think I’m
giving it as much credit as it deserves b-cuz wat I’m just sayingia nothing compared 2 actually having 1 to use 4 urself. I’m not convencing u 2 buy it. Well actually I might actually b LOL. I would suggest it 2 any1 besides my worste enemy LOL. I luv my iPod so much, and I wish u could have a chance to just experience it LOl. Well watever u choose I hope u make the right decision b-cuz every1has diff opinions.
