MP3 Players : Apple iPod touch 8GB

I'm 17 years old and I just bought the iPod Touch 8 gig. It is my 2nd iPod because the first one I bought was the Mini 3 years ago. What I gotta say is that it's amazing and well worth the money. You can go to internet, watch Youtube vids, etc. It also looks great. I bought the invisibleSHIELD, which is $25, for it to prevent it from getting scratches since the chrome back of the Touch can be easily scratched. I have to make sure I don't show it off or I'm going to be robbed. =)

Other than that, Apple has made another great product. Hide Full Review

Bought this for myself for Christmas, thought I should post a review for someone over 40! I have a one year old shuffle which I really like, but was kind of tired of not having a display. I researched iPods for a while, and decided on the 8 gig touch for several reasons: The ease of use of iTunes, WiFi (that's really nice - no service contract vs. the phone), the widescreen display when you flip it around (love that and couldn't imagine myself ever watching video on the smaller screen). The 8 costs less that the 16, and you can manage what you put on it - remember you don't have to put everything you have on it!
Downsides - I noticed that you need to turn iPod off when you are not using it to help save the battery (battery only lasted 24 hours in sleep mode - I thought it was off!) and I don't like getting fingerprints on the touchscreen, but what are you going to do about that? I just clean it when it bugs me. It's taking me a little while to learn to use the WiFi because I've never been a big texter, but I'm getting the hang of it! I read reviews and bought a case with it, so it is protected from accidental drops and won't get scratched on the back.
All in all this is the best new cool toy I've bought for myself in quite a while. I would recommend it to anyone it doesn't feel like they have to carry around their whole iTunes library and is fine with a separate phone. Hide Full Review

I got my ipod touch free when i bought my macbook. i have had it for about 4 months and i thoroughly enjoy it. The itouch is an excellent buy and here is why:

PROS: the built in internet is surprisingly fast. having wifi on your media player is awesome. i have been on facebook and email my girlfriend plenty with it. trust me. The battery life is also exceptional. It charges faster than most and also holds its charge better than most. (mines lasted 3 days)double win there. Next, the ipod itouch is compatible with windows and mac. It syncs with ease on both systems. Last of all, the Apps. the itouch already comes w/ useful apps to begin with.(i.e calendar, contacts, about same as iphone) I recently 'jailbroke' my itouch so now i have access to even more apps. Their useful,effective and easy to use


CONS:
The only real con for most people is the money factor. The Ipod touch is probably to expensive for you cheap folks. but if you have the cash or are going to get a media player, definitely get the Itouch.
Oh and the hard drive issue isnt that big of deal. 8g is plenty for music (the videos will kill you though) and even if you need more: you can access your computers itunes from your itouch.
-and who gives a crap if the back of your itouch scratches?!? so forget that and Overall is -----
