The ipod touch looks very impressive.  Visited the Apple website and you can watch a decent video about what it can do.  I've got a video iPod at the minute and this looks like it will knock the socks off it albeit without the same storage capacity.

A proper swish gadget.

Humbug not Christmas again havent finished paying for the last one yet, only 15 weeks to go the stores will be putting up the decs again soon

What exactly is it? A 'phone or mp3 thingy how does it get on the internet?

I'm no expert but it's a combination of a phone, a camera, a walkman, and an internet browser. Best having a look at the website above to find out more mate.

Humbug indeed!! Before you know it, Christmas would have been and gone!!!

Thanks RedKenny,
Mmmmm! Think I will sitck to my SonyK800i soon to be replaced with K850i

Think I will stick to my more conventional arrangement

The main advantage for myself with this release is that it will bring the price of the "current" ipod's right down.
I dont need an MP3 player that accesses the internet or takes photo's as my phone does that rather well already, and I really cant justify the price at about $600au then $800au (thats 20 to 25 cartons of grog here)
so I think ill be hunting around for a 30 or 60gb color screen ipod
without a doubt, its a sensational piece of amazing technology, but so is the space shuttle, and ive managed to get by without that also... so far anyhoo

Snap... for me it's a storage issue though. Even the current gen iPods don't have enough storage to fit all the music from my hard drive(s) on, so even though it look sfancy, I won't be getting the new, smaller one. Finding a nice 80gb video around Christmas will be my priority.

Some disinformation being spread in here...

The ipod Touch is NOT a phone.  You are thinking about the iPhone (obviously)

Obviously that's what I thought it was.

What's the point in the ipod Touch then? Surely the iPhone is the same, but with a phone in it as well??

I'm with Venison 86 on this one....

I think the iTouch is the new top end iPod.  Obviously they've just brought a new range out - updated their collection.  Looks smart.

I was going to ask if it was the iPhone... but I was afraid you would all laugh :

It looks mighty similar towards it.  I'm happy with my 4GB iPod Nano.

Either way, my iwallet is empty and there is nothing wrong with my current ipod to justify an upgrade.
I am better off stocking up the ifridge with ibeer ...

(downloading idave with beer is fun, its when idave "uploads" it can get messy...)

Very true! iJoey hasn't uploaded for a while though! Think he got that many viruses from all the ibeer I've been downloading he's now immune!

I'm the same! I've got a 20Gb Philips jukey and it does me fine, but I have fancied a video iPod for while now! Best bet must be the 80Gb iPod video! Think me trusty ol' Philip's can be soon classed as a home music system with me iPod coming about with me!

got the 160gb ipod classic few weeks ago, was saving up for the 80gb video for ages had a look on the apple website and they had a newer ipod with twice the memory for £10 less. couldn't believe my luck.

bit possesive with it though, no one else can touch it in case they scrath it

Hurrah - out now.  It's my birthday soon - so if anybody got a share of that Euromillions - I will take bribes

Just orderd the 8gb one, should be here in the next 2/3 weeks would like to have the bigger one but havent got the funds!! I'm hoping 8gb will be good for about 2000 songs or so tho should be ok as only used around 4gb of my old one........

Got a 80Gb classic and I've probably used 35Gb so think I might struggle with this iTouch - but about 33 Gb of that is total sh*te - so who knows?

Personally I would not touch the iPhone, Software update already and problems with un-locking the phone

They all look great but are they getting too complicated? and so easy to break! and next year there will be a version that can look through walls, and the next one that can turn water in to wine! That one I may be inerested in!

yeah tell me about it, thats the problem the more space you have the more crap you fill it up with!!, if you keep it tidy and only have stuff on there which you need i'm hoping it will be ok.......

Not iPhone. iPod Touch.

Sorry I Know but I felt I'd make people aware of the phones problems in the US, If the phones had a software update will the ipod touch will need one?
