This or Ipod Touch: Which one should I choose?

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.

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.

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

I agree with W Yang, with the iphone your locks you into a 2 year contract for very slow internet connection, Steve Jobs himself said this at the release yesterday, that the wifi is a much faster system than what the iphone uses. to me the choice is easy over my current ipod video, larger touch screen, and wifi. i only need about 4gb of music so this will leave me 12gb for video podcasts and movies. and with the flash memory less parts to fail than with a hard drive. Oh and what about a camera, wheres the camera.....lol

I have about 23gb in music, and closing in on 100gb in movies. I have the 80gb Video iPod. If you're like me, you're gonna wanna wait for at least the 128gb iPod

I have ipod touch, not iphone. My understanding from other reviews that the iphone is heavier and doesn't stay upright. The ipod touch stays in place. Just do not like the additional hook up.

IMO, the touch options are primarily a gimmick and actually impede workflow. I use the I4, medium and large at work and at home, respectively. They're great tablets and will last a long time, if not abused. I bought a Bamboo Pen and Touch, just to see if I would like touch options or incorporate them in into my workflow. I did not. My coworker has a PPT, medium. She keeps the touch features disabled. So, PPT and I4s are both great tablets, but the touch features don't really add any value, just keep that in mind while shopping for the right price.

If it must be a nano because of price range or how you plan to use it (commuting, workouts, etc), it's a no-brainer: pay the extra $50 and get the 8GB.If you plan on using it at home and don't mind a larger hard disk player, you might want to consider the classic in 80 or 160 GB.If you can stretch your budget to pay top dollar, the 16GB ipod touch offers the best current player for movies using flash memory.

i was using an old iPhone as an iPod touch and a bose blue tooth speaker and it was decent but not as good. The nomad speaker points at the ceiling and fills the room better, disguises noise better.If the iPod works well for you, then why buy something else. But if you are still being interrupted from noises you might want to try getting a sound machine.

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch. When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.

None. You will need a iPhone or an iPad touch PLUS modules. The modules for speed, temp and battery life must all be purchased separately but are relatively cheap. The most expensive part of my upgrade was the $99 iPad touch I bought off of eBay. My old first generation touch didn't cut it.

i have a large Classic that lives out of site in the car.I also have an iPhone and touch that I use for calls/games and development (respectively)iTunes 8.x makes managing multiple iPods much easier than the old versions.

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

Cowon s9 all the way. Since it has audio quality light years better than iPod touch.

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 only have an iPod touch, so that is what I use this item with. Works well. I also like that it charges, too. And you don't have to keep logging in; it keeps screen open while its in use so its easier to search for songs.

It depends on what type of device you would want to listen to and what you're doing. For example, if you were cleaning your house moving around from room to room, I might suggest the ipod nano. Plus, you can take it with you outside you[re home. I have one and I would strongly reccommend checking it out.
