So the Optimus Touch is nothing like the iPod Touch except for when it comes to appearances. On the outside, it looks very similar but adds several buttons, a stylus and hole for it, and a camera.
On the inside, it continues looking like the iPod Touch with the same SpringBoard style layout as the iPhone and iPod Touch with the same glass-like rounded icons. But, thankfully, that is the end of the theft, everything else is fairly unique.
This is more or less a PDA with a camera and 4GB (or 2GB) of storage that is smaller than the iPod Touch and lacks the multi-touch functionality. So if that’s the perfect description of what you have been looking for, you can get it for $109, a fair bit cheaper than the iPod Touch.

Hmm.. nothing Like the Ipod it might have the features that its a great player but..don’t let it full you. The Camera is a really cool bonus. But the pictures don’t come out that great.Camera good pictures bad.So pretty much it’s worthless being there.The pictures come out blurry and barely see whats in the picture.
There are so many things about this player that is wrong it’s just ridiculous.
The Radio? its there but does it work.. hmm nooooo.. the radio is just an addition to the player but it would be nice to work, atleast find one station out of hundreds of them.
Games? hmmm… nooo, the website where you buy it from it tell you that you can add games and play them etc.Some people tell you that you only put games that it would work with clicking.Well i haven’t found one yet.
Touch Screen.. not the greatest one.. you really have to press to actually move around or click on the icons.It’s really slow at responding.
The the thing that i don’t like at all about this is that the support is not there at all.
So my opinion this player is worth $25,its really cool that you can use the touch screen but its not a really good one.
My advice save your money for something better thats not generic or not a trusted brand.There are lots of players out there that you can add a few more bucs and you would be better off.
