Yes to the above.. its sad.. but the IPOD touch really is beautiful. Don't get me wrong, you can probably get something with the same features for cheaper if you go grab a WM (Windows Mobile) PDA but.. the interface may actually be worth the extra..

god I hate saying shit like that Sad..

I hate apple..

Yeah it is. You can put all your illegal music on it too.

Though if you would add a specific price you're aiming for, it will be easier to know what will fit you the best.
I don't know if you know it already or not, but you get Wifi with the Ipod Touch/IPhone - You can surf the web with it, watch youtube, etc.

If want an 'alternative' to the IpodTouch you can get the Archos605Wifi, lot more space, but it's less sexy.

Price doesnt matter really (unless we're talking over $1500)

Any links for an ipod touch, so I can check it out. See if I like it.

You can also check out Samsung P2, It has everything what ipod itouch has
movies, videos, mp3, blue tooth, pictures, rss feed, and new firmwire is coming out soon with more improvements with touch ability to rotate pictures or movies even make text files larger so you can read them
as for bluetooth you can dial numbers on the mp3 player itself, answer calls


here is video how it looks and etc




and here is another video with new firmwire that samsung will release soon hopefully

One important question: do you want it to be a phone or a PMP (portable media player) only?

Apple has ruined the universe of geeks.

Don't buy apple, all you're doing is breeding more horizontal striped socks, thick rimmed glasses wearing she-nerds who make jokes about google and are named violet, who actually dye their hair violet and worship all things mac...

That samsung looks like shit though.

Frankly, get a pearl.

i have an ipod touch, and I love it.

The only disadvantage is the lack of features when playing back a movie, ie. it's either native or full screen - you cannot choose something in the middle.

it's also difficult to navigate to a certain point in a 1.5 hours movie - when I pull my finger off the slider it always moves by a minute or two

But still, i love it!

Touch screens will be better in a few generations, right now they are not convenient.
what makes it worse is they they are using them on such small screens

If you just want a portable media player I'd say get the Creative Zen Vision W ... it doesn't have a touchscreen but it is a hell of a lot cheaper than the iPod touch...

8 GB iPod touch = $300
30 GB Zen Vision W = $200, 60 GB = $300-350 on ebay (can't find them in a canadian online retailer)

Vodka has one of these, he might tell you more Wink

here is a couple videos of it...

LG Voyager



I have the LG Venus which is half touch screen.


Venus with no antenna has as good if not better than my other cell WITH an antenna. Decent battery life, touch screen is pretty fun but has regular keypad for txting and numbers which I find better so I can actually feel what I'm hitting.

only problem is if I wanted an actual media player 4 or 8 gb isn't really enough space, plus there is no expansion slot on the P2 either...

first off, I have a creative zen which is 4gb + 4gb SD card.

now, the only music i have on it are basically what I'm listening to a lot right now, which is maybe 25 albums (4 gb card) and 20 music videos + a couple tv show episodes/one movie (the other 4). you might have trouble listening to 1000 songs, but a lot of people don't.

shit, just one season of a tv show would be a few gb. he wants a media player, not a mp3 player. don't get me wrong, that thing looks cool as just an mp3 player...
