A 10 page review is now up and available on iLounge reviewing the iPod touch. They've spoken about publications rushing to be the first review out there but rightly so mentioned that the first to market (in this instance being a review) isn't always the best. So, the writers at iLounge have taken their time and crafted what I would say is the perfect review.

iLounge has been around since the iPod started and is among the most respected iPod related sites, if not the best out there. With this, what they say, people trust. They know what they are talking about.

Find the review here and let me know what you think after.

Final thoughts after 10 pages of review copy..

"We cannot in good conscience generally recommend the iPod touch to all of our readers. The essential elements of the “true video iPod” we and others have been waiting for are obvious—an iPhone-matching screen with iPod classic-matching capacity and battery life—but between its so-so screen, limited storage and below-nano battery life, iPod touch doesn’t equal or surpass the best portable products Apple has released this year. If you need similar storage space and don’t need a big video screen, get an iPod nano. If audio quality and capacity are important to you, buy an iPod classic. And if you’re a video fan, consider an iPhone if it’s available in your country, or save your money. Wait until Apple (or someone else) gets the “true video iPod” formula right. We sincerely hope that it will be sooner rather than later."

Good job I cancelled my preorder!
