Release date 28th September 2007 - Available only via the Official Apple Store for £199 (8Gb version) or £269 (16Gb version)

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

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7017660.stm

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?

My iPod has never had a software update since I have had it - although the iTunes program you use on your computer has - so not too sure.

me and another mate bought the ipod touch for a mates 21st present.....absolute quality!!! one of the best inventions on this planet

Totally agree.  I bought myself this from the duty free at Gatwick as a birthday present to myself.  I got it for £169 which isn't too bad compared to the high street.

Anyway - it's by far the coolest gadget I own.   I was surfing the forum in Spain on it, the Youtube and iTunes feature is great, and video playback quality is superb.

Seriously people out there - this has to be one of the best presents that can be given or received this Christmas.  Apart from love and warmth obviously...!

sh*t first i am going to get my phone. Sony Ericcson k810i. I know it is o but i stil want it. Then next year i am gonne get this.

reah? thats sounds very cool!, still waiting for mine to arrive! , doest it cost anything to browse the web? how does that actually work?

On the ipod touch you need to connect via a wireless network - either at home, at your work, or in a hotspot if you are in to that kind of thing.

I just logged on to a couple of unsecured networks while I was in Spain, and obviously in the hotel which had free wireless.

ah right cool, thought you were kinda on about via 3G like mobiles, thats alot better, only have a wireless network at home but thats cool as I run my PC and my PS3 through my tv so I can only use 1 at a time but when I'm running the PS3 I can use the ipod to go online

I like my Creative Zen. Anyone I know with an iPod has had some sort of a problem with it.

Never had a problem.  I believe the iPhone will enable you to use 3G - unlimited data but it's £35 a month on 02 for 18 month contract plus the £269 for the phone.

Hmm...I won't be getting one; I have a 30 gig video iPod from 2 years back, and I just got a new nokia 5300 which has amazing sound quality...

They look sick though.

So how much are these going for these days?

People still digging them?

Yeah I'm still dying for one of these mate.

iPhone's a little out of the price bracket but one of these does most of the things the iPhone does, without an external speaker.

Or if you're not that arsed about the touch screen, get one of the iPod Classics. Basically the last iPod, with a mega memory and cheaper too!

Yeah was thinking that mate. You could get an 80gb for pretty cheap couldn't you? But you can't browse the net on an iPod classic though can you.

One of the cons. But you need to be in a wi-fi spot for the net on the Touch I think?

If that's the case then you could probably just use the normal net?

Pros and cons! Pros and cons.

I'll probably just sack it and get a high class hooker or something.

As long as she hums a tune of your choice fella!

Took the plunge and swerved the high class hookers mate.

Currys, 16Gb £179 was the best I could find.

Is right. I was looking around and seen 8Gb in Argos for £199! Thought I was going to have to pay via the anus to get one but it doesnt seem too bad that!

Cheers fella!

they are down to 120 £ now ....cant remember where i saw it though

That's sound that. Get on it CRK!

The thread in this board helped me to get mine though - online technology retailers thread. Should have had a look at the shop!

You got any good apps for yours JD?

The beer thing.

The light sabre.

That lighter one to hold up at concerts. Hmm...

The Remote Music thing is the best app - play EVERYTHING in your itunes wirelessly.

Some thing where you pop bubble wrap.

Some maze game thing.  And some other stuff.

The BBC iPlayer is boss on it.  Great for watching stuff on a Sunday morning when you can't be arsed getting out of bed.

Cheers for those. I'm extra excited about these three things.

I'm dying for one but I need to get a few quid together first!

Until then I'll stick to me phone's MP3 player jumping and skipping all the time! :

Mine arrived the other day and I'm very pleased with it. It's a beast.

I might try busking with my pants off! See how many notes I get then!
