ipod Touch - Can anyone give me a reason not to buy this?

You might as well get an iPhone. It has everything but the phone, hell, I bet you could open it up and hack it to make it a phone for like a couple bucks.

Nope, different hardware inside. No camera or mic on the touch.

I heard the 'Touch' is about $100 more then the Iphone... If thats true, why not just get the phone?

Not true.

here is my .2 cents. The Ipod touch is crap. 16Gb's wow thats not big at all. The freaking Ipod Classic has a 120Gb hard drive. And is maybe cheaper then the touch. At first Apple was going to call it the Widescreen. But they went with touch. But thats not the point. The point is the size that the HDD is. To me its not worth the price. But thats up to you.

It has a lot of features that a standard ipod does not have; web browser, email, etc. It is really a different caliber of device than a standard ipod.

It really is a whole new standard for portable media. It sure as hell is not in the "mp3 player" category anymore, it just does so many other things that you just can't call it that.

Was a smart move on Apple's part by taking a piece of hardware they already had, toning it down a bit and releasing it with a smaller price tag. The iPhone isn't ALL that revolutionary in the phone market, but take away the phone and put it into the portable media market and it blows away the competition.

I'm confused how anyone could even believe a rumor like that?

I already have an mp3 player, so that's not the only thing I'm looking for. I want the music of course, but the big thing I want is the wifi. As well as the big screen and the cool factor. About the HDD comment, the touch doesn't have a hard drive, it uses flash memory, which has smaller capacity, but it has a ton of other advantages too.

Regardless it's too late to turn back now, I already ordered one. :)

Not to mention it takes about 7 seconds to disprove using the internet.

For anyone looking at purchasing any Apple product I highly recommend ww.macmall.com since their prices are some of the lowest around and you get free stuff after MIR's :)

If they bumped up the storage space on them, I would recommend getting one.

I guess I don't see the purpose in researching something I could care less about, and in no way shape or form need in life.

My friend has one, and I don't know if it is because it was hacked, or this is just how they are, but the Ipone doesn't seem all that great to me. First off, it's way to fragile, especially with that big screen. Second, the internet was pretty damn slow I thought, and the mp3 player was very laggy. My friend actually gave up on using the mp3 part of the phone and went back to using his Ipod because it worked better. But I guess if you want to look cool because you spent a lot of money on a phone, be my guest.

No offense, but then why waste your time posting about it?
