    Hey guys,

    Have decided on getting an Itouch but am wondering which would be better. I dont see any disadvantages to getting to a 32gb, same size, weight, dimensions etc, and can get one delievered for €333. Any reason why should get 16gb instead except price difference obviously? I would use it alot for music (big but not huge collection) and videos, and would be looking to get lots of apps, though i hear they dont take up much space.

    Thanks

    Depends entirely on the app, tbh. Some are only Kbs in size, and the largest one I came across was 2GB after an additional data download (offline Wikipedia).

    If you don't need the space then get the 16gb model..., but if you do not mind paying extra for the 32gb model then you might as well get that, those extra 15gb's will come in handy for video and stuff.

    Of course you could also look elsewhere and get something like the Cowon S9, it's got a wicked screen and fanastic battery life but sadly no appstore...

    Well over the years ive been used to big (relatively) hard drive players. Creative Zen Vision M, Archos 605. So all well over 16gb. So am used to having ability to store loads of vids and music.

    Have previously shunned Ipods of all shapes and sizes. But the new Itouch just looks so good. It broke me lol. Also a considerable amount of the money for this I won recently. So almost a free Itouch lol.

    They are the same dimensions and weight right? Just seems weird considering one holds twice as much

    The "SSHD" (did you mean SSD?) is "very slow" compared to what exactly?

    Compared to an iPod.

    What ipod? you've really gotta be clearer here. Are you talking about previous models or current models? Are you talking about the ipod touch, the ipod classic or the ipod nano?
