Reviews of the Apple iPod Touch (third generation, 32GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The third generation of Apple's iPod Touch is still the king of the hill when it comes to portable, Wi-Fi-wielding media players. New additions such as Voice Control, graphics enhancements, improved accessibility, higher capacity, and a faster processor help to refine and already excellent product.
The Bad: The video cameras found on the iPhone 3GS and iPod Nano remain conspicuously absent. The lack of refinements to its audio quality, hardware design, and video playback leave us feeling just a little uninspired.
The Bottom Line: Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
