    Apple - iPod touch 16GB* MP3 Player (4th Generation) - White (236 out of 247)
    Great product for all ages

    Posted by: from New York, NY on 05/23/2013I bought this for my son for his birthday in September. It is one of his favorite things. The other day there was a slip and fall and a smashed screen. No big deal right? I have the 2 year protection plan on the unit. As described to me by the sales person if anything happens to it bring it in and it will be replaced in store no questions asked. Well I did just that, but now I am informed that BB has changed their policy without telling anyone and that they have to send the unit to apple to be fixed. The store manager was useless as was the corporate lackey I spoke with on the phone. So they changed the contract without notifying me and I have to just deal with it. Corporate bologna at it's best. Steer clear of the protection plans as BB will change the rules of the game in the middle to suit themselves.

    Posted by: from Waxahachie, TX on 05/22/2013I was tired of carrying around a binder full of CDs in my car so selected the I-Pod after recommendations from friends. Very pleased with how simple it was to transfer and organize songs.

    Posted by: from richmond, va on 05/21/2013My ipod is my constant companion. I have over 100 books on it so it is constantly in use. I had a real problem getting the books on it that I wanted even after I reviewed the ibook with the instructions. Otherwise, I still use my ipod all the time and make do with the problems I cannot solve.

    Posted by: from lansing,il on 05/21/2013It is used for my children's games and music. They have also downloaded apps so we can talk and text whenever there is a wi-fi connection. They can connect to the internet for homework and fun. Sometimes the connection of the calls aren't so great but I think it is the app we are using. Great for listening to music as well.

    Posted by: from Troy, MO on 05/20/2013Even though it is more expensive than most mp3s I am happy with an apple product. It syncs well with other products. Sound quality is good and I love the white color

    Posted by: from killeen, tx on 05/20/2013I have difficulty each time I sync my pics to the computer it re-syncs all the photos into the computer again. I keep the important pics on the phone so I can show them, but I don't want all the pics in each file every time I sync. I only want the new pics entered into the computer, but it puts every pic each time I sync. I don't like this. If you can help I'd appreciate it.

    Just like having an Ipad only smaller
    5
    Posted by: from Chicago on 05/19/2013I bought this for my wife to use in our bathroom while she gets ready. She has recently discovered Pandora and listens to it all the time. A few years ago I bought a Logitech Ipod speaker for the bathroom and we used an old Ipod for it. Now that she listens to Pandora we needed one with WiFi. It works perfectly for what we want. We both also use it to check the weather and email. It's just like having an Ipad only smaller. The screen size is a little small by today's standards but it works great for what I bought it for. Great price too.
