I wanted to buy an ipod touch, but does anybody have one ? and if so are they worth 300$?
my mate has one and they are pretty frickin awesome, i was thinking of selling my ipod video to get one, i do recomend you get one, maybe wait til price goes down if the price is bugging you, you know how consumer elctronics are:p anyway all the features it has make it a worthwhile purhcase
:thumbup:
The only way i would ever get one is if they made a version with a hard drive instead of flash memory. That way we could get much more space for the money.
There may be problems with the data transer speed though.
I wouldn't get one until the price goes down, because to be honest it's just an i-phone with no phone
Well I just picked up a 160gig iPod Classic for $350 and that has been an awesome buy. It was just as expensive as an iTouch but when it comes down to it.. 160gig iPod or 16gig iTouch Somehow I think I'm getting a better bang for my buck by going with the iPod Classic. Plus the new design is much smaller, sleaker, and the new menu is great aside from a few bugs.
I really want one myself. The fact that it uses Wi-Fi and has a very fast web browser is huge for me. Sounds to me like it does everything I carry my psp with me for but games much better lol.
EDIT: Heres a side question. Anyone know if Ipod Touch requires iTunes to put media on it???
too low gigage for the price.
I have one. 16GB, yes it requires itunes to be activated and to add music/videoes/photos/bookmarks/contacts/calendar.Quote:

Ya im looking at jail breaking it, but will it mess with iTunes ? Its funny because no one in my school has ever heard of ipod touch.
if you jailbreak properly it will function like normal, I used "ijailbreak" for mac. But there are automatic applications for windows as well.
Painless.
Whether if it is worth the cost falls down to
• how much storage you want [i have around 5gb free, so anything larger wouldnt really be worthwhile.]
•The importance of a mobile Internet browser
•The importance of being able to check your email[thanks to to jailbreak]
•If you want an iphone but don't want to put up with the contract and ancient hardware: 2mp camera[no flash or video!], lack of 3g, etc.
Posting from my iPod is fun.
