I have an iPhone so I can't tell you about the iTouch completely but when my phone is on wifi it's pretty sweet and I'm pretty sure the iTouch does everything except make phone calls.

On that note, I'd still just get a regular iPod because it holds a LOT more music/whatever and you can use it as a portable HD and when you're using WiFi you could just as easily be on a laptop or a regular computer even so meh.

iPod Touch + Wi-Fi + Bluetooth headset + Skype or something similar = free phone calls

Shit sound quality, terrible earphones, terrible computer software ( iTunes ), nice interface.

Weight it up. It's a fun toy, but if you are into your music, it's utterly terribad.

Hmm thought it did, theres some way of bodging a headset on it anyway, guy at work is getting one for free with his new mobile and was looking up what you could do with it and found out you could make phone calls on it using the wi-fi connection.

I keep forgetting despite the high price tag they leave out pretty basic hardware. I'll try find the guide on doing it.

Get a Samsung YP-P2. I bought one recently, and it´s damn sweet. Not too expensive, touchscreen and bluetooth.

I hate Apple as much as the next guy but it is quite a lot more than just an mp3 player...

Um.... Not really.


My advice? Get an iRiver. It plays FLACS. Either that or a Cowon, or a SanDisk ( yes, I know what you could say, they look hellishly shit, but they aren't. They have the best sound quality on the market ).

The new iRiver Spinn is supposed to be pretty awesome.

Or go for the new Zune.

Yes, well those two things tend to go hand in hand, I'm hoping you used good quality earphones before making that judgement, because I use top quality headphones, and the sound quality out of my touch is definitely above average at least, not the best.....but no where near "terrible"... a slight exaggeration there me thinks.

You clearly haven't used any other sort of MP3. Go read up audiophile reviews on the iTouch. The sound quality is average at best. I use £120 earphones. I am pretty sure they are above anything that most people have here.

Zune is pretty nice actually, the thing is i had to order it from the states to italy so it costed me abit, and now the screen jsut broke without any reason.
But before it did, it was really nice.
I liked the interface and the audio in general.
Not bad at all.
anyway, the touch is good, a friend of mine has it, but i think that if you really want a touch ipod i guess its better if you get an iphone or jsut buy a regular ipod.

Firstly, please don't tell me what I have and haven't done, I've used quite a few different MP3's, in fact I have 3 other MP3's sitting in my drawer, admittedly the touch isn't the best in terms of audio quality.

I love mine.  It is SO incredibly useful, especially if you jailbreak it.

I've had my touch for almost a year now and I still find it really useful.  Obviously its my main music player, but there are so many free applications that are really useful or fun that no other mp3 player has that makes it so good.  I use a pair of shure earbuds though instead of the default ones.  Having wifi is really useful since theres free wifi across my campus so if i want to check something quickly when im walking around or in class it comes in handy

I was only going by what you said. My comment never stated that you hadn't used other MP3s, it just states that that is what impression you gave me.

I only want an MP3 for audio quality. If it comes with games and a good screen and some good extras then even better, but I don't need a whole lot of extra shit. Plus, the iTouch is a complete nuisance if you are on the go and just want to go to the next song. It's useless for quick switches.
