So, the touch is pretty much an iPhone without the phone.

Same price for both ($399) for 8gb of more memory (and a phone, email, maps, stocks, weather, camera less)
And a $299 for the same amount of memory and still without all the features.

So my question is,
is it worth it?

Personally, I think the iTouch is useless,
a step in the right direction, yes, but I don't see why you'd want one over the iPhone...

If I didn't have an iPhone, and didn't have ATT, like 100 million folks out there, I might think an iTouch was a pretty cool device.

[Dash-2]

That's the only thing its got going for it, not having not AT&T.
But price and feature wise, I want more from an iPod...

[poetic_folly]

Yah, once they release a solid state drive in one it will be cool. $400 for 16GB is on the edge for me... I'll buy an 8 GB just to see if its hackable, and do some testing on for a month or so, but then I'll sell it.

It looks interesting...I like the concept but I don't find it would be useful for me (for me to replace my iPod video)

Please dont get scammed again ^^, the iPod Touch will require u to use Wi-Fi to use safari, it doesnt have edge

[poetic_folly]

Of course. Its not a phone.

[Tomer]

That's why u will have to have wi fi... i use more edge hehe i dont have any laptop so i dont have wi fi.. but sometimes i try to catch some signals from my neighbors

lol... but its hard... always get disconnected

Honestly the touch is an iphone minus the phone... in reality its probably the best mp3 player on the market hands down, as is the iphone in the phone market. Even though i have an iphone, i would definately think about getting this for someone close to me, just to screw around with it because, for one, its cheaper than an iphone so if you screw it up, no biggie, two its a music device and not your life line to many people, so again if you screw it up no biggie, and finally its cheaper... i dont know how stupid youd have to buy and ipod "classic" now, instead of a touch. i can see the nano for size and even the shuffle for just plain slickness and extreme cheapness, but the ipod "classic" besides its unusually large size (i get that a lot too ) it has nothing over the nano or the touch. so the question is would "I" get a touch, doubtful, would i want one, sure, if i didnt have an iphone, definately , but then the question would be.... why wouldnt i have an iphone?

[poetic_folly]

Yah but if you use it as a video device you'd need the larger size of the classic. 16 GB is a good amount, but only if you're an audio only guy.

[Tomer]

Excuse me, Haha... the shuffle is not cheap... actually is expensive ... the are better MP3 players out there for way less money...

[lifesmymachine]

if I didn't have the iphone and was considerring a new ipod, it definately WOULD NOT be the ipod touch

why pay more for just a fancy touchscreen?

I would go for the 80 or 160 gig ipod classic for sure

the best feature on my iphone is that it is also a phone

[dyeguy]

to me it wouldnt be worth it at all just because of the fact i have over 7000 songs on my computer no i dont listen to all the bands but my friends use my ipod to well recently it was stolen so no one does but xD you get what i mean

[cipher0925]

The only reason why I would buy this new "touch" iPod is if it had more applications to use the "touch" screen feature it represents. Right now, you buy it to click pause/play and TO buy more stuff on the wifi store!!?? If it had cool touch games that would rid me of commuter boredom THEN I would consider it. But I hope when this happens, it won't trump my iPhone on features!

Guys, this is the reason there is a Touch and a Classic. There is a pattern here. Some of you like one, some of you like the other. For some, space is a must. For others, the touch screen is a must. This is why Apple is smart and is selling the two of them. They're not going to sell just what the "majority" of people want. They're catering to everyone. Smart move by Apple.
