iPod Touch

[HampshireSeagulls]

Turning to the font of all knowledge that is NSC I need some advice. My current iPod Classic is dying. Lots of error screens, etc, etc. I am looking to replace it around Xmas time by using the fabrication that is Santa and the subsequent retail shit storm that is now associated with this time of year.

I assume that there are some out there with iPod Touch(es), so -

good, bad, indifferent?

Anyone else that does not have an iAnything but something else that plays music, podcasts, video, etc and thinks that it is better (with valid reasons, not just that Apple is the electronic representation of the Devil).

Love mine. Best thing is the access to the app store (android store isn't close) and the fact that it is a mobile browser as well (through wifi).

I wasn't 100% sold when I bought one but completely won over.
An amazing piece of kit and the app store is brilliant. Almost worth it just for Angry Birds & Peggle.

I have a Ipod Touch too, Love it. Good battery, reliable and tonnes of apps. and waterproof up to 1000ft

I've only got the 1st Gen version of the touch and could not fault it. You will never get bored again....

I have one but its only 8GB so if you wanna carry round all your music the cheap one isnt really an option. But apart from that its class.

I got my Ipod Touch about 18 months ago, and is certainly the best £180 I've ever spent. Just be sure to get one with a lot of memory, so you can get lots of movies, TV Shows on it for long away trips.

I bought one when i was in the US last week.. A 32gb beauty. It was my first visit to apple store, and i had a play with an apple tv. Anyway, back on topic, my touch is brilliant, and there are some cracking apps out there, even the free ones.

Seems to be $290 (£182) on Amazon US, or £224 from Amazon UK.

However not sure how much postage etc costs.

I would guess that £224 won't get you the current gen (with retina display, cameras etc) but the previous version.

The Touch really is ruddy marvellous. Fane for music (and podcasts and audiobooks etc) but does so, so much more too. You're very unlikely to be disappointed.

Ah that might be 4th Gen. I keep losing track of them!

Seems to suggest it's the new one (Retina display, facetime etc.)
£224 on Amazon down from £249 as part of their 10% deal.

So all round Ipod Touch is a good egg.

Yup pretty much. Enjoy!

What does Retina Display mean? Sorry bit of a

 

[gullshark]

It's the new screen technology that's ridiculously sharp. I have it on my iPhone 4 and my Housemate's iPhone 3GS pales in comparison.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Ahhhh ok, so it's super duper HD then?

 

[gullshark]

Hard to find direct comparisons on google image search but...

Great deal then. Anyone buying one should obviously use NSC's link. Pretty please.
