APPLE DOES NOT FUFILL WARRANTY by shopn2much!!! on newegg.com May 22, 2012
I have bought many Apple products but I will avoid purchasing any more of their products in the future. Apple does not value their customers and the IPOD I bought I believe is a manufacturers defect that they are not taking care of. Sad, so sad.... Save your money!
 
Insufficient capacity by TigerEagle on bestbuy.com Jan 14, 2012
When I felt it was time to upgrade from the Zune I'd had since 2007, I decided to go with the iPod. I chose the iPod Touch 8gb based on the price and features. When I found that my music library exceeded 20gb, I realized the 8gb iPod was much too small. ...

scratches very easily, definetly recommend a case for it before using, I ordered a case a couple of days after purchasing and i'm afraid the back is scratched to bits and that is being careful with it...Pity you can't purchase a separate battery for it for back up...they are quite expensive good quality battery life goes very quickly they say 24 hours but i think its half of that if anything maybe even more shorter...
