Advantages: Great sound quality, great applications Disadvantages: Battery Life, Fingerprints, could be better
4GB IPod for 2 years now, however I?ve had this IPod only a few days now, and I have already taken up 5GB worth of space.
8GB would usually be fine for me, it is a great amount of space, however you really do have to take into account, how much easily do you get addicted to downloading games, especially cause a lot of them are free, and how much music you will find yourself putting on in the future. I have only 500 songs on my IPod at the moment, two 1 hour videos, 32 applications and 50 pictures on it. This has taken up 5GB of space, if you think you?ll go over that by quite a bit then maybe the 8GB one will be a little too small for you and it might be worth investing in a more expensive but double the size IPod.

This is a new feature for the second generation IPod touch, and it may not have the most fantastic ...
Advantages: Widescreen, Wi-Fi, Easy to Use Disadvantages: Outer Shell Shows Dirt, Slightly Pricey, Speaker Volume Is Low
When purchasing my iPod Touch 32Gb, I must admit that I did have my doubts over the hefty price tag. But nearly a year later it's nice to know that my money has been well spent!
Design:
The most striking and obvious feature of this iPod is it's beautiful design. Very appealing to the eye, and with a slick chrome finish, the Touch is a very classy product indeed. However, in my own opinion, the chrome finish can easily get smudged which can become irritating for people (like myself) who like to keep their iPod in pristine condition. But there are solutions to this, such as protective cases, which can be purchased for a relatively decent price.
The screen is generously large and with a very crisp finish it makes navigation and video playback a real pleasure.
Also, a really nice feature which wasn't present on the previous model ...

Hip-hop icon Tony Touch has been a b-boy since the age of 15, and by 1991 his mix tapes had won him international fame. On THE PIECE MAKER, his first commercial mix tape, the turnout of artists collaborating with Touch is a tribute to his skills and the respect he commands within the hip-hop community. Tracks like "Basics," from Prodigy of Mobb Deep, "The Abduction," from GZA, RZA, Masta Killah, Inspectah Deck & Ghostface Killah, and "Pit Fight," including Greg Nice & Psycho Les of the Beatnuts, are instant street classics. The old-school "Class of '87" features Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap & KRS-One, while other guest MC's include Eminem ("Get Back"), D.I.T.C ("The Club"), Gang Star ("The Piece Maker"), and Flipmode Squad ("Set It on Fire"). Touch uses his mix skills to make THE PIECE MAKER one of the better mix/compilation albums to come out in a while.

Album Reviews
The Source (6/00, pp.216-18) - 4 mics out of 5 - "...Touch does the mic justice....with Touch applying his trademark sound, you'll have a difficult time finding any major leaks. This opus sounds like the best of [his] mixtapes - and is long overdue." Vibe (5/00, p.178) - "...'Tony Toca' flexes his skills on the 1's and 2's as well as on the production board and the mike....the big guns...show up ready to party - dropping punchline-filled knockout verses over Tony's mercilessly pounding melodies..." Rap Pages (7/00, p.55) - "...Flows like liquid with strong contributions from Total's Pam and Keisha, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, KRS-One, Cypress Hill, The Likwit Crew and Eminem..." Rolling Stone (6/8/00, pp.124-6) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Bouncy and intelligent....A diverse battalion of lyrical heavyweights works all the angles....reminding us why Tony is a street legend - he gives people what they want." CMJ (5/1/00, p.30) - "...Inundated with jaw-dropping cameos and collaborations from some of the hottest names in hip-hop..."
