It is actually quite neat I will admit. I still am trying to figure it out and such but so far I like what I see. Being a novice at Apple products I also ordered a mini dock. THinking it was just a smaller version of the dock. Nope its for the mini Ipod. Didnt know they had a mini Ipod. While the connector is the same the well the ipod sits in is smaller than the touch profile. well since its for the garage anyway i broke out the dremel and made the well a little bit bigger.
The complaint i still have there is not much support behind it for when i touch the screen to change songs or to pause. i guess there is some more modifications in the future.
I hope your happier than I was. I bought one last month and returned it a couples days later. I hated it!! As a gadget to play with, it's fun, but, it wears off quickly. As a music player it sucks!!! Everything you do must be done in I-Tunes with a credit card account requirement. I have a 600 CD collection. I-tunes could only find album art for a few of my collection (major deal breaker). WMP found 95% of them.
Using the best quality bit rate, the sound from this player is the worst I have heard from any MP3 player I have owned. I have a couple of Creative brand MP3 players that are so much better than the I-Pod Touch.
No thanks...Apple, you can sucker the masses, but I demand a lot more for listening to music. If you want an overpriced mini computer, and don't care about being locked into Apple's crappy I-Tunes, and most of all, quality sound doesn't matter to you, you may be perfectly happy! I'am sticking with Windows Media Player, and my 3 year old Creative Zen MP3 player.
Good Luck,
