About a month ago, Steve Job announced a range of new products in the Apple’s “The Beat Goes On” conference and introduced iPod Touch in the last session of the conference. The gadget accepts international order and starts shipping 28th September. I ordered 2 units immediately the next day after the conference (one for cely one for me), received them separately on the 29th and 30th.
Application that comes with iPod Touch
- Safari browser - Allows you to get online wherever Wifi is available.
- Youtube – One click to watch Youtube videos with selections of Featured, Most Viewed, Bookmarks. Search function provided.

iPod Touch box comes with
- an iPod (duh!)
- USB Cable
- Headphones
- Stand converter
- Plastic iPod stand
- Manuals and 2 Apple logo stickers
What’s hot
iPod Touch is awesome, it’s basically an iPhone without the phone-calling functions. It have all the multi-touch, album flipping thingy Apple has demo’ed on iPhone. It is also has Wifi build-in so you can launch up your Safari browser on your iPod Touch and start getting online.
What’s not
The back of the iPod with chrome silver surface is a major turn off, in my opinion. It is easy scratch-able and finger prints marks can be all over it.

Another thing I noticed, it gets heat up easily especially if it left playing for hours.
Replyhongkiat October 11th, 2007
flisterz: iPhone and iPod Touch are running the same mac binary. 3rd party application on iPod Touch is just a matter of time :-) I’m waiting for it too.

Great gift! I love it a lot! :p
ReplyAndrew Ooi October 12th, 2007
Wow!! This is every geek’s dream.
BTW you didn’t say how much you paid for it.
Anyway, I heard that there is some things that are not the same as in the iPhone. For example, the email feature is cut-down with less features in the iPod Touch.

Replyhongkiat October 12th, 2007
Andrew: I bought a 8gb and 16gb, each at $299 & $399 with about $20+ extra on the GST. Every geek’s dream should be the iPhone, which I will write my review later :-)
ReplyMatthew October 15th, 2007
$399 is still cheaper compared to local stores that sell at RM1739.
hongkiat, you buy off which site?? How about the shipping??
ReplyNicholas October 18th, 2007
congrats! i got it last week and i still has the plastic on it. Haha, waiting for my best skin ever full ipod touch skin to be arrive.
ReplyNeo October 31st, 2007
You say it’s an iPhone without the phone capability, then isn’t it better to just get an iPhone?
Where did you order it? I am thinking of ordering one too! Better get iPhone or iPod Touch?

The iPod Touch is indeed really nice, but you have to be very careful with it, people that like “hacking” things should definately NOT get one of these, they are easy to mess up, other than that, the iPod Touch is the “KING” of all iPods so far… 05/02/08
