I've been keeping up with all the reviews posted here since the 3rd generation was released. I've read them all, and quite a few have done a lovely job describing the specs, technology, etc. They've put it into better words than I can muster, so I will focus my review on my experience instead.
I'm a 20 year old college student, and I'm not a very big spender. This is my first investment in a single item so expensive, and I'm very satisfied about my decision. I've had an iPod classic 60gb for almost four years now. Both my parents have the 120gb classic, so I've seen how the classic has been improved since my own. Even though the newer classic models have the capacity to hold an insane amount of songs--I thought 15,000 was an insane amount four years ago--, I really wanted to get an iPod touch because of the newer technology it offered. However, I did not want to sacrifice so much storage space when, even with an older iPod classic, I could hold far more songs than a 2nd generation 32gb touch. So, I was absolutely ecstatic when I heard they were going to be releasing a new 64gb touch and did not hesitate to purchase it. It holds just about the same amount of songs as my 60gb classic, but even though I did not progress in the amount of storage space, I love the addition of Wi-fi, apps, and other cool aspects the classic or nano does not offer.
I've noted that the majority of negative reviews complained about no camera installment and no vast updates from the 2nd generation. While this is true, I personally do not believe updating the same type of iPod so quickly is such a wise move (unless there was something wrong with the older iPod). I mean, the 2nd generation is still pretty new--why would you want to get a new one with the same capacity after only one year? Yes, it would have been nice if they installed a camera or a radio or a GPS, but I hope the 2nd generation users were aware that this was not the case before purchasing the new generation touch.
As for me, my iPod has been through a lot, and I'm glad it's still cooperating with me. I will continue to use my classic, but I've been spoiling my new touch since it arrived. I am not a camera person, so a lack thereof does not bother me. Also, since I've never owned a 1st or 2nd generation touch, the 3rd generation is completely new to me and, quite frankly, I'm having a blast messing around with it.
So what it comes down to is this--if you already have a 2nd generation touch, do not upgrade if it's still a perfectly functioning iPod unless you want the new 64gb storage space. If you're a nano or classic user like me and are considering purchasing your first touch, I highly recommend. It was delivered on-time and in perfect condition, and I've had no problems whatsoever. However, if you're anything like me, beware--buying this may cause you to procrastinate completing your work and assignments. ;)Get more detail about Apple iPod touch 32 GB (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL.
