I purchased these clippers when my first son was born and have used them for 4 years. The other reviewer is right – the magnifying glass isn’t really any help. BUT, despite this, these clippers are FAR better than any others. They’re worth the price without the magnifying glass. They’re very easy to handle – feel natural in your hand – and sharp enough to cut nails yet designed so you can easily avoid cutting little fingers. I lost the pair I had and recently ordered the Safety 1st clippers which are horrible (difficult to handle, dull, stiff and don’t clamp down easily). You’ll be very happy with these clippers if you buy them.

As indicated in the title, the Bluetooth is crippled, and I say this because while my cell phone can see the Touch via Bluetooth, my cell phone can’t send anything to the Touch. I have pictures and videos of my son that he wants to see on the Touch, but they just won’t transfer via Bluetooth. Granted, the pictures can be transferred via iTunes and a computer, but I don’t always have my computer with me, and iTunes seems to not want to work properly. Now, having said that, there is a free app, available from the iTunes store that allows the transfer of pictures from one Touch or iPhone to another, but doesn’t allow transfer of pictures from anything else to the Touch. I still haven’t found any way to get a video that I took onto the Touch.

As for the Wi-Fi, I absolutely love this capability, and I use it as often as I can in places where it has already connected to a network. However, I try not to use it in places where I am unsure of Wi-Fi availability, and that is because the process of searching for Wi-Fi really eats the battery life. Just to give you some idea of how much: the battery can be fully charged (as in, it was just unplugged from a charger) and within one minute (and that is a generous estimate) of searching for a Wi-Fi connection, the battery is down by at least a third to almost half of its capacity, and that is not an exaggeration. I generally leave the Wi-Fi feature off unless I can plug in to charge or I know there is Wi-Fi available.

A bit of advice:
1) First and foremost, read the longer, more in-depth reviews posted here. They are definitely worth your time and attention.
2) Get a car and/or wall charger!
3) Try the free apps available in the iTunes app store.
4) If you don’t need the volume control and the built-in mic, get more comfortable earbuds.

All in all, if you want a portable media device that can surf the web, you won’t be disappointed.

Oops I meant to buy the Forming Cream. This stuff is for guys with curly hair. Still, the waxiness stays on your hands for a couple of washings. It was also very hard to rinse this stuff out of my hair. It should be called grooming wax or surfboard/snowboard paste!
