If you happen to be a student, you can order direct from Apple w/ a student discount. Probably not as big a deal as you are looking for, but it's something...

It's also really fun and useful because of the apps. My free time is now spent playing games like De Blob, Jewel Quest, X-Plane 9, Krash Kart Racing, Tetris, Aqua Forest, Werdle, Critter Crunch, Frontier Man, etc etc etc. I have more fun with this device than I ever did with my PSP.

Sure can. Most all of the apps can be used while listening to music. Not only that, they constantly release updates to the apps to make them better, and usually the developers listen to their customers and release updates to implement their requests.

LOL! Wouldn't that be nice. Actually every movie, depending on quality, can be from 500mb to 1.3GB. I usually just convert directly from DVD and it ends up being around 600mb, and the quality looks good. SellmeyourDVD is right about clonedvdtomobile.

EHHH not that much. They have an option that lets you bring the qualtiy of the movie down (but they look %100 fine, nothing wrong with it at all) and they only take up 1/2 a gig. You can always keep the file on your computer and swap out movies whenever you want. I have 185 songs,9 movies, and about 15 games on my ipod touch and i still have 9.9 gb left ( i have the 16 gb).

I have 100+ applications, 685 songs, 13 movies, and 455 high quality photos, and have 2.7GB free.

EDIT: NVM just saw you had the 16 gig, maybe i'm just being to cautious with my free space

i had an ipod touch (the 8g in fact) and i thought that while it was a great looking package it lacked in a lot of areas. if you're dead set on getting an ipod i would go with one of the classics. the touch needs a lot more work before it can be considered truly great. the second biggest feature, wi-fi capability, sucks big time. it hardly ever works. even at hot spots where it's supposed to work. so in the end all you're left with is a media device that has touch capabilities. and when pitting it against some of the other products out there on the market it starts to pale. that wi-fi capability is key for the touch and it's crippled severely.

not to mention the price is a rip off. you could get two zunes for the same price as an 8 g touch and have way more than double the space. and believe me i don't knock the touch. i'll admit that i can't stand apple and its products, but when i heard about the touch and saw it i was floored. i had to have it. it just never really met up to my expectations. space is a huge issue for me and the touch just can't cut it in that area as well. i hope they work things out though cause if they did i'd consider buying another one maybe.

The wifi in the Touch/iPhone works fantastic. You probably had a faulty one.

I'm pretty sure that $230 for a Touch is a damn good price. You could get two Zunes for that much...but they're strictly media players. Look at some of the apps for the Touch, it's MUCH more than just a media player. And it has a screen that's twice as large..

fighthefutureofhd · 10-06-2008, 02:42 PM

well it may have been a faulty one, but i'm not so sure. it would work, but only about 1% of the time and it never worked at their hot spots. which seemed very odd to me. and the touch was never $230. my 8g ipod touch cost me close to $350. that's just too much money for 8g of space. the price has gone down, but now i've got a newish zune with a 3 year warranty so i don't plan on changing anytime soon. the zune though is not just a media player. it's got a built in fm radio, it's got wi-fi capabilities as well, and it's got bunch of new apps features. the zune doesn't get as much as credit as it deserves.

Are you kidding me? You must of had a defective ipod because i use my wifi EVERYWHERE. It dosn't work if i have a really weak connection but i can get online with full bars ANYWHERE in my house or any of my friends houses. I have had 0 problems with my touch and you can get a 32gb for 330 right now. You can't compare a zune to a ipod touch becuase of all the amazing apps in the touch. The accelorometer is also amazing; it's one of the main features of the touch. The games are incredibly fun and the picture on the thing is amazing.

fighthefutureofhd · 10-06-2008, 05:17 PM

i could hardly ever get the internet to work. i'm guessing that bug may have been fixed. i got the first generation ones so that would explain a lot. i don't care for apps though. i don't really need all that junk. play my movies and music and i'm fine. i don't care for games either. if i'm going to play games i'm going to play it on my psp. most games for the ipod cannot compare to the psp anyway. but i'm not really that much a gamer. don't get me wrong, i thought the ipod touch looked sweet and wanted it to be killer. the hype wasn't all that justified though. i liked it. i just wish it could've been better.

I don't think they will drop a whole lot, if at all this year.
See they just released the new IPhone and new IPod nano this year and at the same time reduced prices for all other models.
