How good is the calendar app? Can anyone comment on the Calendar application? The main reason I would buy an iPod Touch is to get a PDA without having to bother with a smartphone and the monthly cost of a data plan.

You're welcome, Rick! Yeah, it's good for mp3s too, lol, and even though that's the main reason I bought it, plus video, I have hardly listened to any music or vids. :)

Thanks, Alex. This is very helpful. I'm feeling like this might work for me, and even if it doesn't, I'll still have an awesome mp3 player.-Rick

your best bet is not to buy this tablet in the first place. If you already have it, there are good apps out there in the app store that let you read all of them.

Many of the reviews here on Amazon mention poor battery life. I would use it for the gym and on the plane. My concern is I am often on the plane 2+ hours so a 2 hour battery life would not be good for me. Not sure how many games I would be playing so purely for audio purposes it might be OK. I would go with a 2nd or 3rd generation Nano, but I am repalcing a 30GB iPod and going down to 4 or 8GB is not preferred. I am OK with 16GB, but no less so I think I still might choose this model. I originalyl had the Touch but I am lookign to get an iPhone later this year so I decided to return the Touch. Many of the reviews here on Amazon mention poor battery life.

It is a very difficult decision to make. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. It sounds like you might be good with the SGP as it does allow you to use an SD card which is great for those that love lots of music, movies, pictures, etc. You could have as many cards as you need, lol. The iPod is such a beautiful device, but I have to say the newest SGP (4.2" version) is looking really good.Maybe we can get some true input from someone that has both or at least used both quite a bit.

K. Ocasio: Yes, but please calm down. Not everyone wants to be tied down to a 2 year contract with a crappy service provider. And many of us value having twice the storage of the largest iphone. It's up to each individual consumer to decide what's worth buying. And i personally have chosen the ipod touch for my portable media solution.

I have been using it with android devices (both tablet and phone). The first versions were really bad, the latest is very good. Also, any new update is first released for IOS and months (!) later to Android

I had 2000 songs,350 photos and over 100 apps and did not even touch the memory on the 64 gb ipod touch it all depends on how much GB any electronic has that is the memory that holds the information on the system I do not know anything about an ipod classic so I can not tell you if it is better to keep your classic the only other one I had was a nano and the 5th generation to me was the better of the two. I can test on this ipod and do everything that a cell phone can do and also do what a tablet can do. I am partign with mine only because I need th emoney to pay an unexpected emergency bill. I would never part with it.

I love it because its small and thin. Its completely touch screen. The thing is awesome! Plus its got 16GB of storage for all of my music. Its an awesome iPod. Full functions of a standard size one too. Hope this helps!

Fussy About Clock Radios,If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay.iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped.Godspeed!~SWWPD

I speak for myself, but I don't like phones! I see people talking/texting everywhere they go and I don't understand what is so important that can't wait?? I use my pda all the time, memo's, tasks, quicken, and others. It's my universal bank account tracker. When I buy something I take just a second to enter the item and amount and I know at all times how much I have. I had a pda/phone once and well, after dropping it I was without both for a week while I waited for replacement. I don't mind devices being seperate but then I'm not the kind of person who wants to talk and surf the web at the same time.. why??

The iPod touch is more portable, more durable and has a great OS with tons of apps, and supports a huge variety of accessories. Archos has a lousy reliability track record, an ugly user interface, and although it does support more codecs you have to purchase them separately, and they may require processing anyway. I'm certain the iPod touch will be updated, but whether Archos will support this in the future is anyone's guess.

I had both the ipod touch 4 and then bought the 5 and I truly loved it. The screen is slightly larger and the graphics very very sharp. I loved it. I was very careful about doing any ios updates, though, as those tend to destroy battery life. I did NOT do the updates on mine and the battery charge lasts a long time. Many hours of reading but remember, uses more if games are played. They will love the ipod touch 5.

Your question is fairly general and so I am not clear on what you are asking. I ordered one and returned it without opening it after I learned , this model does not support the Android Store (where you can buy solutions ala the Apple Store) but has another solution. That makes access to Android apps problematical if that is an issue for you. Otherwise, this is a good value at this price, although for $329 or so you can get the iPad Mini which blows all the tablets in the size group away. If this had the AndroidStore on it, I would have kept it.

Point taken. I can't understand the craze for iPad and really want to make sure I am getting a truly productive tool for my arsenal. Thanks!

The iPod touch is DEFINATELY worth it, having owned many brands of music players, I have found that the iPod is in my opinion, the best one out there. Battery life is great, price is great, and capacity is great. Definately worth the money(:

Depends on what you want, of course. It's more useful and functional than a keypad-only phone. Calendar is fine, I had no trouble with alarms etc. I used it as my mp3 player for a while, so that works well too. But it is NOT a smart/android phone -- just looks like one. Ultimately, it works fine for calling, keeping appts, playing music and maybe texting -- though I didn't like the virtual keyboard very much.
