I love my Ipod Touch! It is extremely fun and useful. I almost use it more that my computer (it connects much quicker to the Internet). You can do almost anything you can on your computer if you dont’t mind the smaller images. If it only had an incorporated mic and camera it would be the best thing ever (that’s why I only gave it 4 stars)! The problem with it not having a mic is that you have to have the headphones that come with it to use some of the voice features, and I usualy either use it without headphones or with my Bose ones. I didn’t want to have to pay $20 a month for an IPhone so I opted for the IPod. It really is neat, but I do find myself now carrying both my regular cell phone and IPod around. The IPod has so many features that it really does make my life easier, I have to have it with me all the time. It was a great product, and as always, Amazon did a wonderful job delivering it. I wanted this for my birthday, but ended up deciding a bit too late. I ordered really late Thursday night and my B-day was the next Wednesday. There was no way it was going to arrive….wrong!!! I received it on Tuesday, only 3 business days later. I was amazed and extremely happy. Thank you Amazon and Apple for making my day!

My dad is retired and a gadget freak. Recently he had to make a fiscally responsible decision to give up his Blackberry so I bought him one of these as a Father’s Day gift. He loves his but because I had some extra money I thought I’d get one too. This review is being written from the perspective of a simpleton who is not techno saavy at all. I barely knew what this thing was but I got one anyway. I’d been thinking about getting a laptop so I could get online while I’m on the road traveling. From what little I knew about this product I thought it would suit nicely. It’s lightweight and would be adequate for what I planned to use it for.

I have to say that I’m very happy with it but there are a few caveats. The first thing that struck me was the charger that came with it. It’s not a charger that plugs into the wall, it plugs into a port in the back of your computer. I happen to have a good computer at home but my dad did not. He had to go out and buy all kinds of stuff just to plug it in to be charged. Then you have to download iTunes on your computer and if your computer is old or just the bare minimum needed to search the net and read mail you’ll have issues there. My dad had to upgrade his home system just to be able to use the iTouch. The point was for him to save money and though he was happy to do all this, I felt poorly that my gift caused him to dig into his reserves. Techno slow polks like me need to know this stuff before they buy.

It comes with minimal instructions on how to use it or how it works and what instructions I did find were vague. Somehow you’re supposed to just know. I managed but through the whole process I felt very uncertain. As an mp3 player I LOVE it. I’ve never had or used mp3s and in that aspect I am so happy with this. Be prepared to be marginalized by eggheads and apple heads who will boast about how you paid too much, should get your mp3s for free elsewhere, shoulda got an iPhone or a Droid instead, etc. This mig

I love this Garmin. My first GPS watch and it is great. It is great for running and biking!

The Forerunner 305 has lived up to expectations, based on my first few weeks of experience. I use it for jogging/walking and it appears consistent and accurate based on about 10 outings of 6 mile length.

Positives: Light weight, easy to read, much flexibility on output displays, docks and synchronizes seemlessly with the Garmin Training Center software, works as advertised. I particularly like to display current pace as well as average pace.

Negatives (but none are serious): Takes 30 to 45 seconds to find satellites. I have a short attention span and tend to get impatient waiting for it to lock onto the satellites.

Tip: I occasionally record a false start by accident, then stop the run after say 5 or 10 seconds. Unfortunately, this “run” is recorded on the GPS. After uploading the data to the Garmin Training Center, I deleted the bogus run from the uploaded records. But every time I dock/sync, the short run was restored to the training record. The solution is to upload data, delete the unwanted record, clear the GPS memory, then send the remaining good records from the Training Center back to the GPS device. Said another way, I couldn’t find a way to delete a record directly from the GPS, but the workaround accomplishes the same thing.
