iPod Touch 4th Gen - Is it worth it in the long run? Is the performance (battery etc) still as good as when you first bought it?

I am in the same boat as you. I've been considering getting the iPod Touch or the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2. I've had an older second generation iPod Nano for 5 years and it's still in very good condition, but since it is 2gb, I have ran out of room for my songs. Not sure whether to upgrade to the iPod Touch or the Samsung Galaxy Player.

Unless you actually used the video playback features on your old Nano, you should definitely get this Nano. I love it, the design is sleak and I love being able to clip it on, and the touchscreen rocks. However, I have to say my fav iPod is the Classic. If the limited space bugged you on your old Nano, get the Classic.

I have 8GB on my curent (Gen 4) iPod. I have been wanting to upgrade to a video iPod for a while, but decided to wait hoping a new one would come out (similar to the iPhone). I am a little concerned about only having 16GB, but even more concerned about its shape. Is this iPod expected to fit into current iPod accessories? I have an iDock for my AV receiver, and I'd be bummed if this didn't fit. It came with several adaptors, but I don't think it has any that are for an iPod that thin.

Forgive me but I don't have kids but yes I think it's worthwhile. But IPODs are the best MP3 players out there due to not just the player but the itunes application. And I don't currently own an ipod. Mine died awhile back. I went the cheap route and tried other players like sansa, which is one of the best in the industry for windows. Yet, IPOD (apple products) blows it out of the water. It's worth it. Refurbs are a risk but with a 12 year old I'd do it. And down the road after she's become a pro at using it maybe she get inspired to save up for her own. That's my own delusion thinking :-) As for warranties. It's 50/50 but still more cost effective. Best of luck. Forgive me but I don't have kids but yes I think it's worthwhile. But IPODs are the best MP3 players out there due to not just the player but the itunes application.

The latest ipod touch. The size, weight, and screen are just fantastic not to mention the apps.

Can anyone verify that the 4G iPod Touch not only plays but actually CHARGES the iPod as well? Some of these docking stations do not charge the newest iPods.

My daughter uses her 4th generation iPod touch and it works and sounds great. The only thing she uses the iSleep app for is to set the alarm.

Battery life has gotten worse over time. I am now at a point where a charge lasts probably more like an hour. To be honest, one should just get a smartphone or an iPod instead of this thing. They can do all this device can do and more.

Yes... My daughter has the 4s and purchased it for her. My other daughter has iPod 4th gen and I just got a refurbished iPhone 4. Works for all of us and is also a charger. We all love it and you can't beat the price .

I think that the iPod touch 5th generation because it has a longer screen and nice cameras. It has a 4 inch display and comes with the new lightning to USB cable. It's just a better product than the 4th generation, plus the 4th has been discontinued

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!

I've had it for a while, used it once or twice with no issue with my iPod touch 4.

Definitely the IPod 5th generation. It's faster, sharper, and overall better. Though if money is the issue, IPod 4th generation is still a great product! :-)

Agree with some of the other posters. I have a photo Ipod, not video, but it does much better than 3-4 hours. There were issues with the first couple of generation of Ipods a few years ago, but thanks to a class action lawsuit, Apple seems to have solved this problem.

Hi I used whit my iPhone 4 and is perfect, maybe you can check if your iPod has the same size. If it does you can buy it.

Pretty decent phone, you have a front camera like iPhone 4 and up but there's several apps you can still use like Snapchat, Instagram, and the such (not Pinterest however). Because it is a older iOS version, apps can crash on you (but not often). When I had the phone I loved it, it supplied me with all I needed. The only reason I changed it out because mine was stolen. I think it's worth the money.
