To itouch or not to itouch...

Macseamusa

I have been a mac user for about 5 years now, which is about the same age as my ipod, its one of the second generation 40gb ones so its pretty old( could be even more than 5 years i dunno)
The problem with my ipod is that its crap, the battery lasts for 3 ish hours and to use it i have to rub it to create friction to heat up the damm thing other wise it won't even turn on. As today is payday i'm going to get a new ipod but can't decide over an ipod classic or an itouch. 16gb seems small considering i have 13g of music.
So it boils down to this, do i get the itouch with small memory but sweet features or an ipod classic with more memory and standard features.
Also would there be much point in waiting for a second generation of itouchs to come out?

Like anything else in the industry - if you keep waiting for a better model to come along, you'd end up never buying anything. Just go for it.
I'm going to sell my touch and get a 160Gb ipod classic, since I've got over my fling with a touch screen and need more hard drive space.

My 30GB 3G iPod was finishing off its second battery. Decision had to be made, 80GB or 16Gb touch. I have 23Gb of music alone. Luckily, there were no Classics to be had in tesco for their 30% back promo. Best decision I made. I put the music I actually lusten to on it, as well as a full series of the wire and loads of photos. It is a most magnificent piece of kit.30Gb is now car-bound, with a charger permanently in place and a Belkin FM transmitter. best of both worlds.

Gets on my t!ts as well when someone calls it an iTouch :mad:

This is an iTouch.

My advice would be to buy the iPod Touch 32GB if you can afford it. The wifi, full web browser and video playback on a decent sized screen are a sight to behold. Oh and the touch screen is pretty neat too

Definitely go for the 32gig iPod Touch. With dollar exchange rates, it's a crime not to!!

I was gonna say u dont have to be such a jerk about me getting the name wrong, but i work in game, so i know where ur coming from... i realllly hate it went people ask for the s lite, or the nintendo, or the brain age or that thing nicole kidman plays, or the thing u play with the little sticks....

anywho i was looking at the prices on amazon and ebay, is there anywhere else to look that would be nice and cheap?

All Apple products are sold at a flat price set by Apple themselves. The odd time you'll find somewhere selling them for a few quid cheaper but it's hit and miss most of the time. Obviously eBay might have cheaper ones but other than that you'll be paying the prices on www.apple.ie/store

How did you get yours from amazon.com when they don't post electronics here? I suppose Ebay would be the cheapest place to buy one?

Ebay would be the cheapest place and you can buy it Jailbroken..:D:D
