I purchased this scale a little over a month ago. I immediately loved it. It was highly accurate, giving consistent measurements. It even could tell the difference after I gulped a very tall glass of water. Great scale, reliable, sleek look and at a great price.

However, yesterday it stopped working. I turned it on to measure myself, it weighed me just fine but as I stepped off I noticed it went to “0000″ and stayed on. It would not shut off. I tried removing the batteries and leaving it turned off for a few minutes. Replaced the batteries and it remained on and stuck on “0000″. I purchased fresh batteries to see if it would help but it’s still stuck on “0000″ and won’t shut off.

I loved the scale, while it still worked. I’m a bit disappointed that it’s stopped working only a month after receiving it.

It works great and can process multiple images quickly. I’m using it with the Canon T1i.

Got this as a present, totally unexpected. If I were just planning to use it for music, it’s too big and I would want a Nano or a Sansa Clip+ (or two). But since it can play video and run apps & games, it’s a worthwhile device. I still end up just using a Sansa Clip+ for music on the go, partly because it has FM radio for when I get tired of the playlist. I’ve found some really cool apps for the Touch, and some great games, too. My biggest complaint is that there’s way too much crap to have to sift through on the iTunes store in order to find the good stuff, and the interface limits your ability to find stuff, so sifting takes a lot longer than it should. On the plus side, some of the good stuff is free or only a buck or two.

My other biggest complaint is the lack of a camera or a microphone. There’s a lot of apps that rely on those for the iPhone, and for the price you’re paying for the 32GB touch, you kind of expect a bit more for your dollar. I mean, a microphone would only increase their cost by a buck at the most. A simple camera, even if it weren’t as good as the iPhone one, still shouldn’t be more than $20-25 extra cost for them. If they wanted to pass on part of that cost, fine, but just include the camera and microphone already!!

Ok, sorry, one last complaint. I haven’t figured out a way around a limitation, which is 11 app screens. Otherwise you just have to use the search feature if you have more apps than will fit on the 11 app screens. I like to try stuff out for a bit before deciding to keep it or not, and I filled up my screens after less than 3 months of owning the Touch. The dang thing holds 32GB, you think they’d scale the number of app screens accordingly, or provide an alternate navigation method like simple lists or hierarchy tied to the categories on iTunes. Oh well.

Oh, nearly forgot. Since this device has WiFi, you’ll get a lot more out of it if you can use it. Maps, webmail, and lot so of other web services are availa

Outstanding! Finally, our product research as to which carpet cleaner to purchase paid off. We almost purchased a cleaner prior to investigating product reviews; in fact, the particular cleaner we almost purchased had unfavorable reviews. The Hoover F5914-900 received the highest consumer ratings. Finally, we discovered a product particularly easy to assemble and use without difficulty. Moreover, in our new Hover upright carpet cleaner, there are no hoses needed to connect from the machine to your sink faucet; in direct contrast, in our former Bissell cleaner. Surprisingly, the Hoover cleaner was able to remove several set in stains – which we had attempted to remove several times prior, without success. Important tips: we fill our container with 5 oz of the Hoover Pet and Stain Remover solution and 5 oz of the Hoover High Traffic solution, next pour 1/3 with cool water, then fill the remainder with almost boiling water. Also, when using the cleaner, move slowly and overlap by one inch – cleaning in sections. Once you have sprayed solution onto the carpet, it is imperative to repeatedly extract the solution until you can no longer see any liquid being drawn into the cleaner. Given these facts, we will strongly recommend to our family, friends and neighbors to purchase this superior product.

I have been a heavy PC user for 10 years, however, my unique situation is that I travel with a full-function Netbook AND upgrade Netbooks often (and I am between purchases sometimes). This makes the work involved in maintaining a Touch simply atrocious. OK, so I’m rating iTunes for being so controlling WITHOUT the convenience of keeping my purchases on THEIR server.

Also, I had to send my new Touch in twice (yep, I’m on the 3rd unit) to get one that worked.

I am glad the I found this out before the iPad hit!!!
I look forward to the Acer 532G or Asus 1201PN.
Suerte!
