Can someone help me settle an Ipod Touch vs. Ipod Video debate?

Question

I'm getting in on this iPod craze a little late (this will be the first one I've ever owned) and I'm debating about which one to get: the IPod Touch or a 30gb Ipod Video 5th gen. I really do need some advice on this, before I go shell out a $150+ dollars on one of these things. Which is better for someone who likes listening to music and watching the occasional music video and movie?

Yes, I know the Touch looks fantastic and has lots of nifty applications like YouTube and Weather and Safari (can someone tell me what the h**l that is???), but is it REALLY worth $300? I have had a lot of friends tell me that it isn't, and not to bother trying to keep up w/every new iPod model Apple comes out with (which is a good point).

So I just wanted to get some other honest opinions. Any answers would help!

Answer 1

i would go for the touch in september....

totally!

Answer 2

ipod touch is worth it. Safari is apples web browser for mac and iphone/ipod touch.  Believe me the screen on the ipod touch is great for video (beautiful widescreen! *drools*), sooooo much better for video than my other iPod classic. Musics great on ipod touch too. Coverflow, (when you turn your ipod horizontal when in music), is just awesome, it makes your music "look" good. And you can download heaps of other apps for the ipod touch from the iTunes App Store. BUT WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 10!!! THE NEW IPODS WILL BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 9!!!!! BE AWARE!!!

Answer 3

ipod touch all the way

you can get everything that's on an ipod video and more

oh and safari is like internet with a different name lol

its the ones for apple/mac? computers

Answer 4

Hi,  Im basicially an iPOd expert, Ive had 10  myself, everyone in my family has one. If its me, Id get the Touch, it is wondrful!! Now, if you dont want to spend 300$ then they are announcing new iPods  on September 7th. THe priiice of the iPod touch is supposed to drop to 199. So   i would wait for the new price  and then buy it. Safari is like internet explorer and its free as long as wherever you use it has wireless internet.

So get the touch after they announce the new one, the price will be cheaoer
