I've read about 8 or 9 reviews of the iPod touch, and have found that they fall into two categories:
The first are reviews that look at it as a product in its own right, and review it as an iPod. There are always comments on features that could be added, or are missed, but generally, reviews that look at it for what it is as a product bearing the name iPod are almost always good, giving it a rating of 4 stars or higher.
The second are reviews that really just compare it to the iPhone. These reviews have some positive comments about improvements made, but are generally negative, often giving it 3 stars or less.
Frankly, I've found that those in the latter category always sound like they are trying to justify their iPhone purchase. That's fine, but it's not very helpful to prospective buyers, especially those in countries that don't have the iPhone, or to people who don't want to sign up with AT+T.
