Andre has done an extensive review on Apple's 3rd Generation iPod Touch 32 GB. Over 11 pages and 41 photos/screenshots, he details his thoughts on this popular device. Here is an excerpt:
"Using the Internet on the iPod Touch is quite an experience. When Apple says it’s Internet in your pocket, they are not lying. Of course there are some adjustments necessary and this particularly involves using the gesture and touch features of the device to navigate a web page. Web pages load exceptionally fast too, I was able to view page links by simply double tapping or using pinch to zoom up close on parts of interest in a web page. Prior to browsing the Internet, I had to setup the iPod Touch on a wireless network. This particular network required that I join by entering an alphanumeric key first which was a bit of an obstacle, but it wasn’t too much of a problem, but entering 26 characters can be a bit daunting even for the exceptional soft keyboard. The Internet experience makes the iPod Touch a great buy, especially for the many social networking applications available that I downloaded. Some web pages are customized specifically for the 3.5 inch screen which makes the browsing experience that much richer and convenient. Some major convenient features I found when using the soft keyboard include keys for entering .com addresses when typing in a URL in Safari. Also, when you tap in a field it automatically brings up the soft keyboard. One of my I love this device moments was using Google Maps to find my home location, which was just kinda amazing startling when I saw, Cross Keys (or the village of Cross Keys). Quite amazing that no one should have any problems finding where I live. One of the complaints I have heard lately concerning the iPhone OS is lack of support for popular plug ins such as Adobe Flash and JAVA, but I don’t miss either one bit to be honest with you. Considering that the the iPod Touch is not intended to be a desktop/laptop, your activities will not be what you experience in Mac OS X or Windows neither is it intended to be. "
