I want to buy an Apple Ipod Touch 16gb MP3 player. Can I use media or music previously downloaded on my pc? Also, can I download from sources other than iTunes?
Steff, why would I pay 0.99 for songs that I already have on my pc?

no, ipods only work through itunes. itunes is free to download, why woulden't you use itunes.

What is the easiest way to put applications and games onto the iPod Touch (16gb) ???

u can jailbreak it..
go to ziphone.org, download the program and install it in ur ipod touch..
then to add games u need to have a wireless internet connection. go to the new installer app which should show up on the ipods main menu. then go to games and choose the one u want and click install..

i was given a 16gb ipod touch as a gift, my husband opened it to see how it worked but i do not want it. He already put some songs on it from his ipod. Does anyone know how to get rid of the songs so that I can sell this ipod? Please help -I have only had it for 3 weeks and have no use for it

when you plug the ipod in, there will be a little button that says restore on the ipod page
click that, and everything will be erased and reset

I am planning to buy a ipod touch but kind of struggling between 16GB and 32GB. I don't have a lot of things to store in there so I think 16 is enough for me and also since I am a student I want to save as much as I can. So can anybody tell me around how many applications can be stored(I know it depends on how big the application is...). Thanks

First of all you Are only allowed nine home screens to the best of my knowledge. Second yes you are right it depends on the size of the app so an app is usually 100 mb for a big one and there are a 1000 mb in a gb so I wouldn't worry about that. I would get the 16 unless you want movies.

I am wanting to buy an ipod touch and can get hold of a 1st generation 16gb touch for the same price as an 8GB new style 2nd generation. Is there any major benefit with the new generation which I would be missing if i got the old one? I mostly listen to music but want email, contacts etc and the maps look really useful. Not so much into video.

There's not really a difference. The 2nd gen just has an external speaker, is a bit slimmer, and has an external knob for volume control, other than that no ^_^

I want to get the Ipod touch 16GB, and I wanted to know if I could put about 3500 songs on the ipod and then have 20 hours of video on it too.

NO. It will only hold about 3,500 songs or about 20 hours of video. Those are only estimates so it might hold more or less depending on the size of the files.

Hi guys it me agien and i am just talking abou tmy new ipod touch. i got the case on ebay i like it works well. it also has a screen cover thats ...

The long-awaited Apple ‘tablet’ was revealed officially by CEO Steve Jobs. Calling it a “magical” device and naming it the iPad, Jobs demonstrated at a press conference a color 9.7-inch touch-screen device that looks and operates much like an iPhone/iPod Touch. Priced in different versions between $499 and $829, it includes email and calendaring, embedded mapping and has an icon-driven interface that also includes a system tray of ever-ready programs at bottom.

But unlike previous attempts at tablet-like PCs, this is only 1.5 pounds and half an inch thick. It will ship in 60 days, Jobs promised.

Jobs emphasized in his demo the multimedia playback capabilities of the new toy. He demonstrated e-book, film, music and TV playback that worked with touch-screen interaction; video and images can be displayed in high resolutions. The 9.7-inch display offers enhanced angle of view for easier reading at different angles.

Technically, the iPad also includes 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, an accelerometer and compass, speaker and built-in microphone. Some models will have 3G, with a $14.99 per month plan for 250 MB of data and $29.99 for unlimited data. AT&T will be the network provider, but there will be no contract required. Users can cancel at any time. The 3G units are “unlocked,” which means they can also be used on other carriers that run GSM networks. Users will also get free access to all AT&T WiFi hotspots.

The internal chip is a 1GHz CPU, which is considerably faster than the current iPhone chips. And there will be between 16GB and 64GB of Flash memory storage. Jobs claimed the iPad has 10 hours of battery life and will retain a charge of one month on standby mode.

The iPad will have a discrete store of apps designed specifically for the higher resolutions, but the unit will also run — and can access — iPhone apps. The iPhone apps will run either in a smaller window or in a “pixel-doubled” mode that will run them full screen but at lower resolution.

Among the publishers and organizations that demonstrated customized versions of their publications were The New York Times and Major League Baseball, as well as several game developers.

Jobs complimented Amazon for pioneering the e-book reader, but then launched into his own pitch for the “iBooks” platform. The e-Reader app lets users pick from a virtual bookshelf; users can access the bookstore from the device, download immediately and start reading. Tapping on the right or left side of the screen or swiping the screen will flip the page.

Publishing partners include Hachette Book Group, Penguin, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster. It uses the open ePub book format, which is a direct challenge to Amazon’s closed proprietary format.

The iPad also has a range of productivity capabilities, including a version of Apple’s iWork suite. Users can also make and edit presentations, do charts etc. The productivity apps for Apple are $9.99 each. The device will sync with the PC or Mac to transfer media and create backups.

Notably absent from the iPad and its demo were an internal camera as well as any of the snazzy digital magazine content we have seen Time Inc. and Bonnier demo in recent months.

At a minimum of $499, the iPad is twice as expensive as the Kindle and about the same price as a low-end laptop or midrange net book.

The iPad has finally emerged from its secret hiding place, foretelling another 60 days of waiting. I had the opportunity at Wednesday's launch event in San Francisco to spend some substantial hands-on time with the iPad prototypes, and I have not yet decided where and whether the iPad fits into most people's lives. There's a more obvious hole for home Mac users than others.

The iPad is a remarkable device that plays video beautifully, has incredible responsiveness, and is one of the loveliest pieces of personal electronics I've ever seen. My principal impression from using the iPad was that it was fast — far faster than an iPhone 3GS or iPod touch, even with its much larger screen.

Whether you should buy an iPad is an entirely separate question from how it acts. It could be spectacularly useless and a commercial flop, but that doesn't change how fantastic it is. That said, the iPad seems most likely to be a device you carry as an adjunct to a primary computer that stores all your media — a kind of bulk-free laptop that doesn't necessarily replace a laptop.

The 16GB to 64GB storage available on the range of Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi plus 3G models won't be enough if you regularly rent or purchase digital movies and music, or you have large music, video, and photo collections. You would dock an iPad to charge it, but also to change the assortment of media you have on it and sync back anything you purchased on the iPad.

The iPad comes with an enhanced Photos application that pulls down information from iPhoto running on the computer on which the iPad syncs via iTunes. iTunes does this now with the iPhone OS devices, but dumps pictures into big pools.

On the iPad, albums, events (photos grouped around a period of time), faces (a facial-recognition option), and places (geographically tagged photos) all appear. The iPad also can import photos directly via either of two $29 dock adapters, sold separately: one has a USB jack for direct camera connections; the other has an SD card slot. You can import photos, but exporting requires a sync; the Photos app doesn't let you create or upload galleries. Third-party software could come in handy there.

Apple demonstrated iPad versions of its $79 iWork suite for Mac OS X: Keynote (presentations), Numbers (spreadsheets), and Pages (word processing and layout). The versions worked remarkably well, far better than I could have guessed from seeing the demo. For those used to any of these programs on a Mac, these $9.99-each add-ons will be completely familiar. Files can be moved back and forth via an iPad shared folder on a USB-connected Mac, or via the underutilized iWork.com site Apple halfheartedly built to work with iWork.

The iPad seems pointedly aimed at those who wanted Apple to come out with a netbook — a cheap and very compact laptop — by being fast enough to run any Web-based applications, and by supporting either a keyboard that's part of a dock ($69, sold separately) or a Bluetooth keyboard connected wirelessly. The iPad, like its tinier iPhone/iPod touch counterparts, relies on touch so there's no option for a mouse with that keyboard.

I have trouble predicting whether with a real keyboard on demand and the strictures of running only Apple-vetted software from the iTunes App Store or Web apps, iPad would be enough to replace a laptop on a personal or business trip.

However, for those with train or bus commutes who want an in-transit option that's got the advantages of an iPod touch or iPhone with a screen designed for reading and watching movies, the iPad could fill a need — and be far cheaper than a laptop with the advantage of longer battery life. (Battery life is only as reported by Apple so far, of course: 10 hours of playing video on a single charge, according to Chief Exeuctive Steve Jobs in his iPad presentation.)

It also will be great in cramped quarters for frequent air travelers. As my colleague Derrick Story, a computer-book editor turned photographer, wrote on Twitter, "The iPad: finally a device for Mac users who fly coach and want to get their work done." Having been unable to fully open my MacBook on the flight home Wednesday, he makes a good point. I would have accepted the iPad's trade off to get work done more comfortably.

In 60 days, we should have a clearer idea of whether iPad fills a hole in people's pocketbooks or is a hammer in search of a nail. Regardless, there's never been a prettier hammer.

Since Apple announced the iPad yesterday evening , everyone who has mentioned it to me today has wanted to know when it will be available in the UK. I don’t know for definite but I can tell you what I do know.

The Apple iPad comes in two models, WiFi-only or WiFi + 3G, with three storage sizes – 16GB, 32GB and 64GB – for each. We know when the WiFi model will arrive in the UK – it launches worldwide “in late March”, according to Apple – but not how much it will cost. So far, Apple has released prices only for the US.

We know even less about the WiFI + 3G model. At yesterday’s keynote, Steve Jobs said international availability was dependent on deals with mobile networks. He said he felt that Apple could make some progress on those deals in June or July.

However, Apple’s press release announcing the iPad says that the WiFi + 3G model will be available “in April in the US and selected countries”. Is there any chance the UK will be one of the selected countries or are they referring to America’s neighbours, Canada and Mexico? I haven’t been able to get hold of anyone from Apple today to tell me.

As with the WiFi model, we don’t know the pricing of the WiFi + 3G. However, we can make an educated guess based on comparative prices in the UK and US Apple Stores.

The iPod Touch – and the iPad resembles nothing so much as a large iPod Touch – retails at $199 (8GB), $299 (32GB) and $399 (64GB) in the US. Those prices translate to £152, £234 and £306 in the UK Apple Store. Based on today’s exchange rate, the UK prices are marked-up by an average of 24 per cent. That accounts for VAT and what Apple (and, to be fair, other retailers) typically describe as the higher cost of doing business in the UK.

If we convert the US prices for the iPad into pounds and then add on 24 per cent, what do we get? The WiFi version of the iPad comes out at £383 (16GB), £460 (32GB) and £535 (64GB). The prices for the WiFi + 3G model may not be as simple because it’s possible that they will be subsidised by a deal with a mobile carrier. However, a straight conversion from the US prices brings them to £482 (16GB), £559 (32GB) and £636 (64GB). In other words, 3G adds around £100 to the cost.

I should stress that these prices are guesses but they are at least educated guesses. I’ll let you know when Apple issues the official prices.

I still don’t understand why the press are writing as though this device was some sort of big deal. The real story should be about how Apple used its marketing clout to build a feeding frenzy and then failed to deliver. Big time failed to deliver.

The iPad is simply aweful. Who ever heard of a tablet that doesn’t support handwriting? Jeez, even Apple’s first attempt (also failed) at a tablet, the Newton had handwriting support. Every other tablet – and there are dozens – supports hadwriting. I don’t think the press understand what a tablet is.

Add to this the closed nature of the device the article should be aboutr what Apple forgote (or don’t have the software skill) to add.

No Flash? No Java? How can a device browse the Internet without Flash or Java. It can’t even view Apple’s own website correctly.

No multitasking? Good grief. When was the last time we saw a computing device that couldn’t even walk and chew gum? 1997? This is a new definition of the word ‘revolutionary’.

There are a number of other tablets available that simply blow this toy away. Why don’t the press report these? I don’t suppose it would be anything to do with Apple’s advertising budget would it?

iPad? iFad. iPass.
