I kind of want to buy one, but I'm just not sure. The big thing I want is the Wi-fi. With Minneapolis going wireless soon, I'll be able to get on the internet and check my email, search google, and post on style, from almost anywhere in the city, or any wi-fi hotspot.

Then there's the cool factor with the touch screen and all. I can watch movies, look at pictures and all kinds of stuff, and of course listen to music. Basically I want to buy one, but I'm on the fence because of the price. But unless I can find a good reason to steer clear of them, I'm going to just buy it. That's why I'm here to see what ya'll think.

Its basicly an iphone without the phone, and youl fill the memory rather guick if you put movies on it

I have an iphone and I love it. The browser is a little slow, even on wifi, but it works and it is super fun to play with. Go for it!

What is the cost/memory differences of the Iphone and Ipod touch? I am sure there is a web forum for Iphone/Ipod touch by now, or check out consumer reports and play with the ones at a store for a while. 1 reason not to buy one, more money to spend on the car.

I dont think the video ability on those is something I would buy it for, anyone ever tried to watch movies on one? Might as well get a WalMart brand portable DVD player IMO. If you really want one though, go for it. My friend has one and she really likes it.

8GB-$299
16GB-$399
I was at the apple store and I think those are right.
I also have an Iphone and love the thing! Some things I dislike but overall love it.

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.

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