Besttechie Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I just ordered my iPod Touch! I'm very excited and I can't wait to review it. I'm a little bummed that it's only 16GB, since I have so much music, but I'll find a way to manage. I mean, I just couldn't bring myself to buy a 160GB iPod Classic... the iPod Touch is just well, I'm sure you know!I'll let you know how it goes in a full review as soon as I receive it and play around!By the way, this will be my third iPod, all of which I loved.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Im going to go get that 160 gig one in a few months. I was really looking forward to the touch, but 16 gigs wont work for me...its sad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko_tomas13 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Congrats, I was toying with the idea of picking one up but I just paid for tuition and that would relegate me to the 8GB one. I think i'm going to hold off until my 4G iPod bites the dust or a price drop hits before picking up a touch and maybe just get a refurb. shuffle for the gym in the meantime.Let us know when you get it!

isteve Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I really want the ipod touch but I have a video ipod and a couple of shuffles. It's funny how two days ago my sleek black 30 gig video ipod was so cool and now it looks so old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andro1d Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 In my honest opinion, its a complete rip off!I own a 30GB iPod Video, and I do love it. But besides that, I hate Apple.Come on though, 16GB for 400 dollars?!?!?! You have to be kidding me?I could have bought a 60GB iPod Video for cheaper than that. If I had paid that, I would have no room at all for my music. Thats no space at all.Another reason why I hate Apple.Thats just my 2 cents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Please don't turn this into apple bashing thread. The BT staff and regulars show great respect for members and friends of these forums and there opinions. We all have different opinions and taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I had paid that, I would have no room at all for my music. Thats no space at all.Another reason why I hate Apple.Thats just my 2 cents The only reason it is so expensive is that it is a multi-touch interface. If you have a lot of music and want to keep it with you at all times then the iPod touch is definitely not for you. The classic is your best bet and for the money and space the prices on it have come down since last gen.The touch is for people who do not need to have their whole collection with them or who think that having wi-fi and a touch interface is worth more to them than a lot of space especially if developers gte some apps from the iPhone ported over to the touch itself.I just think it is a little ironic that you hate Apple yet chose to buy their MP3 player instead of a competitors offering...

Bubba Bob Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 The touch seems to offer features the video doesn't. **thinks about Wifi on an MP3 player...**I don't understand what's to hate about Apple. They seem to have expensive products, but hey, can't say they arent good quality.I burnt through three cheaper Mp3 players before I bought my Nano. So far, the Nano has lasted longer than the other three combined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SN3AK Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Question: has nobody heard of Archos?I mean ok, yeah, different views, different opinions, but really, why would you spend $400 on a 16GB iPod Touch when you can spend the same amount on an Archos 605 WiFi with 160GB? I mean is multi-touch and a smaller design really worth it for 10 times less space?Oh well, I don't mean to bash Apple (well maybe just a tiny bit) but most commonly the only advantage I've found an iPod has ever had over something else of the same type is that it's smaller.

isteve Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 According to Engadge the ipod touch has started shipping. People have been getting them in today and they have started to show up at a few Apple stores.Pictures of the touch being unboxed from Appleinsider. Looks pretty thin.
