You have to buy and/or download them. There are many good free ones available in the App Store within iTunes but most are in the $0.99 - $4.99 range with some going as high as $9.99 and up.

There's a button built into the touch for the App Store... from there you can browse the free (often called "Lite") and paid apps. Once you find an app you want, simply touch a couple buttons in the Store and it downloads and installs the app, and will appear as a button. Be advised you will have to have an iTunes account set up with Apple to do this. This process can also be done on a computer with iTunes that the Touch syncs with that computer.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

Just ask them. Apple's products shouldn't have any problems, and the same warranty is given no matter where you buy the iPod touch, as long as it is an Apple Authorized Retailer. I'd trust Amazon with you purchase. And there's almost no learning curve pass 5 minutes. Especially with the touch, it should be very simple.

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

You need to upgrade your operating system on the iPod touch.It costs $10 to upgrade. After you do that, you can install I talk.

In that case you should look for an Ipod touch. plus with this you will not get any updates or wont be able to play with new apps.

Christy, I got my Touch yesterday at my nearby local Apple store. First I went to Costco, then Circuit City, and then Best Buy. None of them had any 2nd gen Touch's. I ended up buying one at Apple, and the entire shopping trip, including chatting with a friend I ran into at the mall on the way to and from the Apple store, consumed just one hour. Had I gone directly from my home to the store, the whole thing could have been accomplished in about 20 minutes. Amazon's dirty tactics caused me a 8 day delay. And yes, I agree, don't order a Touch from Amazon if you want to get it anytime soon.

Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.

Hello,You need the cartidges to play. It does not come with preloaded games.

Do you mean an iPod Touch? I don't actually own the sphere, I gave it as a gift. What I do know is that it runs on apps that you can download from the app store for mac or the android store if you are an android person so I assume it will run on anything you can put an app on. Sorry to not be more specific. It's a pretty cool thing. The two kids I got it for love it. And I enjoyed playing with it too.

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.

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)

I'm sorry, No all of the apps are not free. You get a few included with the game unit, but you have to buy a purchase card or use PayPal and then go online to purchase/download apps. The preloaded apps are free and you go online to download those. Any additonal apps, you'll have to buy those.

Lets get this straight. The IPod Touch is not the IPod 5. I have both an iPhone 5 and an IPod touch 5th gen. These cases do fit my iPod touch and not my iPhone 5. I can't say for the iPod 5 but they don't fit my iPod 4. Some of these answers seem confused. All the cases fit the touch and the extras make this an excellent purchase. The chargers will fit all the new generation stuff.

i was wonderin too. I partially checked out the ipod touch and it said delivery for one day is around the 15th which is like next week. can someone confirm this? it seems a little odd unless theyre expecting it to be backordered.

if they want to compete with Apple... seriously??? the Zune HD's 32 gb version is only 289.99... while the iPod Touch's 32 gb version is.... yup, a whopping $399.99, i dunno about you, but i think i would prefer the device that is $120 cheaper and with the same capacity ;) so tell me again how this won't compete with the iPod touch?
