I don't have one. I was offered this deal, held it in my hands. Probably would have impulse-bought had I had the cash on me.

didn't know they made 32 gig touches till tonight, I don't keep up with this stuff, but that was the first amount of disk-space that justified one of these things as a viable investment to me. they go for 400 new, figured it was a decent deal, and my current iPod is on its way out.

it's the combination of 32 gig disk space (plenty of room to keep my current interests in rotation) and INTERNET that intrigues me


probably gonna go with it

lately i've been wanting an itouch and that thought morphs into "well why not just get an iphone so i could have all in one" and then that morphs into "i wish it wasnt $texas/per month"

i would get an iphone but my contract with verizon has over a year left


figure i'll dick around with this thing for a while and re-evaluate in september of 2011 when the iphone will either be way better or someone else will have a truly comparable device

32 gig isn't big enough.

I hate the idea of having to keep stuff "in rotation" I want my entire collection at my fingertips.




edit: then again, i also have an iphone...sooo yeah.

until there's an ssd ipod with 150+gB, im sticking to my 160gB classic with keeping the phone seperate.

not having what i want on hand is irritating

I'd probably try to come up with the extra $100 for the comfort of having a new one. In other words, the price point isn't low enough to buy used (for me).

How is 32 gigs not enough for you people? Are you that lazy that you can't switch music out once a week? There is no way you listen to all that in a week anyway (think it's about 7000 songs). Sure, I have more music than too. But I enjoy having a fresh library every now and then.

^^srsly, I'm content with the ~3500 I have on my 16 GB player. very rarely is there a song I want to hear at the moment that isn't on it. If it is, all I have to do is end up at my laptop later to switch it out.

I don't know how people have so much music. I've downloaded like a madman for years, pretty much anything I think of and I still only have about 11 or 12 gigs of music...

but there's no way to know what you'll want to listen to in two hours.

i mean do you people REALLY listen to every one of David Bowie's albums?

come on. I don't mind not having some of my catalog on hand at all times, we all know it boils down to compensation

Just scooped one of those sandisk clip mp3 players from woot....now I have to decide which 2 gigs of music to cram into that thing for the gym mix. Will definitely have to rotate regularly

this happened to me too. i bought an ipod touch at the beginning of the year then work took our phones away so i was in a position to get an iphone and have part of my bill paid for through work. i got the iphone then they changed how much they were going to reimburse for data plans ($0 if it wasnt a blackberry data plan) so i took the iphone back and went back to my old slider phone. the iphone was sexy and whatever but the ipod touch satisfied the same need. it was actually annoying to use as a phone and at&t drops calls like a mother.

I've had a 4 gig since 2005, holds about 800 songs

Never really gave that much thought to upgrading because I don't listen to it 24/7 like some people; just when I'm running or traveling

i would say yes, if you have the money.

while i have a 'smart phone', i sorta love the apps and style of the iphone. but i wouldn't ever pay the monthly plan cost from at&t. so an itouch is a pretty good compromise. i bought a new nano a few months ago and sort of wish i got a touch. but cheaper = better atm.

1. Take the $275 and use it to break your Verizon contract
2. Go to ATT kiosk at Best Buy and buy refurbished iPhone
3. Never look back.
