Apple Ipod Touch
 
Does anybody have an Ipod Touch? I've been thinking about getting one as they look quite cool, has anybody had any expirience with one?

Any advice/opinions/warning would be appreciated!

Cheers :)

The screen of the Touch has 40% as many pixels as the N800/N810, and the Touch doesn't have stereo speakers built in.

I have the impression that this is not an Apple iStuff forum... Do you?

I've used quite a few iTouches/iPhones. They're much better suited than an internet tablet if you're not very technically minded and just want a cool, easy interface. However, techy people like me find it severely limited in what it can do compared to an internet tablet. I am considering one now however to use alongside my N800, for solely music and gaming, as the price has come down quite a bit recently. I think I saw the 16gb for only £160 in Argos.

My wife has one. It's a really amazing device with a TON of software. It's way way smaller than the n8x0.

Downsides:
1) No bluetooth
2) No copy & paste
3) No multitasking - unless jailbroken (impossible with the newest one, so far)

Developers don't tend to make excuses, they just churn out programs... some bad, many very good. Yeah I'm toying with the idea of switching.

Ipod touch is a portable POS, N8x0 is a portable computer. ok maybe its not that bad but as Cadabena said, it just depends on what kind of user you are. I had the touch and loved it for the MP3 player that it is, gaming sucked pretty bad, jailbreaking was risky. adding emulator roms was a pain, either learn how to ssh or use the iphoneborwser program. PDF handling sucks sweaty balls, can't handle large pdf files. NO bluetooth as mentioned, with the NIT i can pair my BT keyboard, even usb keyboard and type away anywhere. Big plus is the "fancy look" the ipod GUI has and the tons of applications available in the app store. So i guess if you want a fancy music player that ties you to m4a format get an ipod touch. If you like a nice customizable geekery pmp/pda/etc go for the N810
