Well I have had my iPod Touch over here in the UK since I got it from the Apple Store on Tuesday (they had some in as Steve Jobs was there for the iPhone UK launch) and I have the following thoughts:
1. The sound quality seems to have improved since the 5G iPod with video - no measurements, just listening comparison using the same headphones.
2. Web browsing with WiFi is fine - but I wish there was a way to store login credentials for services such as BT Openzone, T-Mobile or The Cloud. The screen is great and works and the device is easy to use on open WiFi - but having to login using a webpage is not great (I am sure I will get better at it).
3. My video screen seems fine and the picture is nice to look at for short form video, up to 30 minutes (Cranky Geeks) - but I am not sure I want to watch a film on it - or something with lots of picture details.
4. The interface is fun with photo and moving around. It fails as a pure music player as I have to take it out and look at the screen to change anything. This is annoying when you only want to change the volume - or skip to the next item in the playlist! I will be keeping my 5G for bedtime listening as I can drive it with my eyes closed (and my wife will kill me if I continue to light up the bedroom while playing with my iPod - she forgives me if it is under the pillow.......some of you will understand this, others will understand in time :-) )
Overall I like the device and will use it alongside my Nokia N95 until Apple brings out an iPhone with HSDPA in the UK.

Just wondering - have you successfully logged onto BTOpenZone using your touch? I (and others on forums) are unable to get to the login page in Safari - yet other hotspots work fine.
I agree with your comments - the sound (and volume) seem better than my 5G pod, and I love the wi-fi stuff, but having to take it out of my case to change volume is a pain at times :-)
