I got the itouch to hold me over until my treo's sprint contract completes. If I actually walked around listening to music I would have just got the iphone. My ipod is pretty much only used to play music in my cars. I wanted the iphone without a contract. The itouch was a perfect need-want compromise. Technically the treo can do most things the itouch can but I'm already noticing how the itouch is changing how I do things. In the morning I used to take a peek at email, the weather and stocks on my pc. Now it's nice to do all this in bed on cold mornings as the heater kicks in. I actually wish apple would make a slightly bigger itouch device to take around the house. As small as the macbook air is, it's still a laptop. Maybe because the itouch doesn't have a physical keyboard, it doesn't feel like some work shackle that I take around the house. Also, my wife would kick me out of bed with a laptop. Checking the weather and stocks on the treo is an ordeal. On the itouch, you push one or two buttons. I never watched youtube before but the resolution of the content and size of the itouch screen is a perfect fit. Instead of seeing what's on tv, I'll poke around on youtube.
I have some gripes. Browsing the web is pretty good but the experience gets me wishing for a slightly larger itouch. It gets old expanding and moving every page. Although not recommended, it's harder to change music in the car while driving because of the moving touch screen buttons and locking feature. If your current ipod is close to being 8gb filled, then just get the next size up. I spent 1.5 hours trying to figure out what content to exclude and will continue to have to do which wasn't worth saving $100. Some conveniences I'm used to having with my treo make me want to just get the iphone now. I google phone numbers all the time and wish I could click on the found number directly to call. I'm also used to getting internet access anywhere with the treo where I'm confined to hotspots with the itouch. Sure, open wi-fi is readily available, but rarely when you're stuck in bad traffic, in a car with a sleeping baby, or a long post office line.
Rating: - Great Buy!
Great product...The best feature is the WiFi, and after the software update download you are set with e-mail and more great features.
Pros: Great battery life, great size screen, enough memory to carry enough music, WiFi, youtube link...
Cons: Limited access in some webpages, can't download some features in webpages, no bluetooth capability.

Completely happy with this one! The software is amazing to use on this device. I'm anxiously awaiting the SDK which will open up this device to more third party software.

Apple iPod touch 8 GB without Software Updates
I love my new itouch, it's everything that's advertised. The picture quality and size is great. Software updates are free and easy to apply, dealing with itunes is pleasantly easy. All my friends that have seen mine have gone out and bought one, what better complement is that?
