Good: touch screen downloadable apps, some free apps, good quality vids and pic

Bad: its a piece of crap!! has so many problems

Comment: I paid $420 for the iPod Touch 4th Gen, i was super excited to use it, i was able to download tons of apps! games ect. I had it for maybe 7 months and it starts freezing, glitching, stalling, and all of a sudden the screen turns completely white then shuts itself off, i would turn it back on and/or restore it and it still turned white and kept shutting itself off, and now it officially will not turn on at all even when fully charged and it when i try to restore it the iPod Touch won't stay on long enough for it to restore! The damn thing is a piece of crap and waste of money! I'm getting an Android phone instead that has apps, web ect. Do NOT buy the iPod Touch, and if you do then i advise you get the $30 dollar careplan for it.

Good: The fact that it's just like an iPhone except you cannot call people and it's touch screen and tons of downloadable apps and some free apps too, great quality vids and pics

Bad: it's a piece of crap, i had it less than a year and it already keeps shutting itself off, glitches and freezes up a lot. do not buy it!

Bad: The fact that everything has to go thru iTunes is so cruel. I'll never buy that device again!!

Comment: iTunes sucks!!!

You can't just transfer files from and to your PC. you must install iTunes, and transfer the files thru it!

I encourage all my friends to avoid this device!

Not for me

Good: Everything

Bad: Flash, can't call people and no radio built in but it's an iPod so the only thing that's bad about it its the flash.

Comment: Going to get a new phone as well because iPod is not a phone and it not supposed to be.
