No, this things was not worth the money. The screen is not nearly as sensitive as an ipod and the calibration was off so where ever you touched it would pick up a touch some place else. I got this for my son for his birthday in November. We broke down and bought him an ipod for Christmas the same year.

Hi Megan:My experience with Coby was bad! I would not buy Coby. I bought a Sony Walkman A series touch 16 GB mp3/mp4 player and I love it! It runs with MEDIAGO software that you can download from Sony free. It keeps a very nice library on your desktop that is easy to use. I love my Sony touch!

Touch sensitivity is horrible. Nowhere near as nice as an ipod. Stay away! You will hate it.

nope no where near the ipod. i have both this and an ipod nano and this one cant match with the ipods touchscreen but thats why its cheaper... the functions are simmilar to the ipod. this device is for training and nothing more as a lot of people can get aggitated with its touch screen in normal use

Do not make that mistake buying this unit, it only last few days working properly. Seriosly its a piece of junk, I didnt even send it in for replacement. I wasnt going to spend more money on this!!l Total waste of money buy.

There is a very small amount of movement whenever you touch the keys. It is much more noticeable at first -- I thought I'd never get used to it -- but after a week or so I didn't notice it at all. If someone else uses my macbook they will often comment on it -- because they notice the difference in "touch". It's definitely worth getting used to, though -- a clean (and dry) keyboard is a happy keyboard!

Yes. It is a very good keyboard. It has lovely sounds, the feel of the keys is similar to a Grand Piano, it is lightweight, and I greatly enjoy it. I have almost played it every single day since I bought it in September for multiple hours. I love it. <3

I wish I could help you with this question but I have not spent enough real time with my unit to answer. I would think so. It is a slick device. The touch screen is wonderful.

Yes it is touchscreen and you could also use the buttons for the same thing. Some of the buttons act as shortcuts rather than going through the touchscreen. Basically you have more than one way to get to the same result. And the touchscreen is pretty sensitive so you don't have to press down, just touch.

I have never used an ipod. But, as far as I understand, its looks resemble an ipod. But, it is surely not as sophisticated. More or less agree with all the other answers.

I use touch screen workstations everyday. I sell them. They are great if you're working with pictures, touch-based games, using painting and drawing software, etc. But at the end of the day, when it comes to serious work, you need a seriously comfortable keyboard and a responsive trackpad. Nothing beats the Macbook line. Most of my work is typing, so having a touch screen is useless. I prefer touch on a all-in-one desktop instead of a laptop. It's just unnatural to reach up to a laptop screen to touch every time. The macbook trackpad has multi-finger gestures that are just more intuitive than any touchscreen for moving windows around and controlling your system. I thought about purchasing a touch-screen enable windows laptop, but I'm not a huge windows fan (I see too many problems daily with windows), not to mention I simply would not have a use for the touch screen. I take the Macbook line's trackpad over any touchscreen.

Hi Fred,I haven't had a chance to fully put it through it's paces so to speak (I don't use the function keys very often), but so far it has worked flawlessly using 4.3. Even the the tracking cursor works well, although I don't know why you would need it on a tablet with a touch screen in the first place.

Absolutely. The screen quality is great, and I've spent many a time watching Netflix and using the Internet. And I used it mainly for school so it's great for taking notes in whatever way is most comfortable for you (keyboard, touch screen.) it runs on windows which uses the market place but you can just download iTunes.

I love mine!!! The keys do not touch the screen at all. There is plenty of space between the keys and screen....The padding is great. Plus I use a screen protector. KATHY

Yes, its really nice! Not flimsy AND the best part is that the touch screen still operates perfectly.

Sure. It has a very good keyboard (a very true touch) and a nice sound. It's a very good deal for the price.

I'd like to help you, but this was a gift for our granddaughter in another city; I just know that it included the keyboard, which was scaled well for small hands, the software, a DVD (I think), and a power supply when we bought it. It was the "gift of the year" at Christmas, and our granddaughter is still learning music using it.

Yes, the screen responds to touch. You can type on either the key board or the screen.

I just bought this laptop. It does not have a touchscreen. That is why I bought it. I am not a fan either. Great laptop. I love it.

Its not touchscreen, but its a nice computer, I own one. It takes up surprisingly little space, and is easy to set up. And the screen size is amazing. Good for movies. If you dont like the window of apps, you can change it to the traditional desktop look too.

This keyboard is really small. It is really more for just playing around with versus trying to actually learn to play. You can play some songs on it though.
