The new one - any thoughts on it lads? I was thinking of getting one. No "just get the iPhone" please!

Cheers,
Chris

I like. Big%20smile
 
We got my Sister one for Christmas. She wanted a Nano, but I pushed for the touch.
 
Its display is stunning, nice and snappy as well (compared to my 2G).
 
I use a 2nd Generation iTouch, its feeling a bit dated. Especially now Apple have dropped it.

They're great. I have about 3 of them scattered around the place. The kids love them!

Get it just for the apps/games alone!

Hi,

Got one here (8Gb) - great unit!

I refused to buy the iPhone. Double the cost for a phone? No thanks.

Wifi is good (not as good as I had hoped; only just works around the house whereas I can take my NetBook down the road and still use it). It has Bluetooth, and calls etc. are great if you use a headset (I use VoIP and Skype on it and it is fine, though Skype is buggy and crashes sometimes, especially when it gets busy and loads the processor).

If you don't need the phone part, don't get the iPhone, unless you really want the GPS and the flux-gate compass in the package as well.

Best regards,
Vulcan.

My better half nicknames my iPod Touch 'The Mistress', which probably sums up just how often I use it! Probably the best gadget that I've ever purchased.

I have the first gen I think with no microphone, though that can be worked around.  I showed it to my son and he bought his GF one, then later got one himself he was so impressed.  Its one of the best gadgets I ever bought.  I had mine a long time and vowed not to modify it but eventually I did with a simple program on a website.  Now I run Google earth and god knows what on it.

Just for fun look out for the Zippo lighter.  Flick the wheel and the lid opens.  The flame ignites and moves depending on what direction you turn the itouch.  Its supposed to move when you blow into the microphone too. Not tested that here but sounds so cool!  I`d probably update if I could get a good price on this one but not very likely.  I`d certainly get another if anything happened to this one though, no doubts.
