Quality of sound is same as other iPods. But don't get one just to listen to music.

If you're a gadget whore like me then you'll love it with the January update. But if you just want to listen to music get a classic or nano, since they'll have more memory or the same amount of memory for less money.

Still got my 80 gig classic form last generation. It fell and broke in half. I slammed it back togethor and it still works. I wonder if the new ones can do that.

I concur with this statement. Zune Pass is better than paying per song.

I got an 8GB one yesterday. I don't have many songs and I'm a sucker for new gadgets, so it's perfect for me.

I like mine but you must look at what you need. If you know that you gonna use more features than simply listen to music then I think you should buy it.

If you don't need more than 16 gigs, I can't imagine anything better. I've had mine since it was released, and I couldn't be happier.

Seems about right. If you have a music library larger than 16gb, get a classic. But if you have less than that, get a touch. And if you don't plan on watching videos, get a nano. I am aware than the new nanos can play videos, but come on, no one wants to strain their eyes watching movies on a one inch screen.

Me, I have a lot of music and I'm fine with my 5g 30gb video.

my sister just got one of the new nanos. I certainly wouldn't want to watch a full length movie on it, but the screen is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

Nano screen is 1.5 inches, classic 2.5 inches and Touch 3.5 inches.

Watching episodes from shows like Scrubs goes fine on a Touch. :D

:| Why do people support the big nonsense brick that is the ZUNE??

Seriously either get the Touch for the other features, or for cheaper similar alternatives the Creative ZEN 8GB (with extra SD Card slot) or the Samsung P2 are good cheaper alternatives. The Zune pales in comparison to them, I swear people buy the Zune because of the MS brand.

If you interested in the ipod touch you should definitly look into the samsung P2, especially if you want to save a few dollars.

That's why it's a choice. You can say no. When was the last time a company released such a huge update for an MP3 player for free? Anyway, does anyone know how to convert videos into a format that the Touch can play? Only my music videos bought from the iTunes store work.

If you can get your videoes into iTunes you can use iTunes to convert it for iPod. But iTunes uses a long time so I suggest not to do it that way.

I came very close to buying one at christmas time. Ive decided to leave it for now...

my zen is more than good enough for now and as good as the touch looks I still cant justify the price. The 16gb is low concidering that screen is meant ofr videos aswell. Im gonna bide my time until either a 32 GB comes along.

That being said there are some good phones coming out which are obviously modelled on the touch but better. Have a look at the samsung f700...

Yeah, it was hardly lighting quick but it's easy and better than nothing. Also, it means I don't need software just for converting.

Well I guess you can stick with it, but I would still be on the lookout for programs that converts to MP4. Some of them uses half the time, if not less.

i got a 6th gen classic, iv had it for a month and have already filled up more than the 16gb touch can hold. So if you have a ton stuff go with something bigger in size and cost less.
