Should you buy ipod touch 4g, or shall you wait for 5g?? Do you think 5g will have a better camera and more "extras"?

I decided to pull the trigger now. Why? Well this is my 1st Touch. I mostly want to be able to use it as a mobile web browser and the various apps. Yes I have tunes too, but not the amount some of you have! As for the camera function, not a huge deal. I have a fancy Nikon with lenses. This one takes pics that are good enough to upload to facebook, twitter and email to folks. It will do decent enough video to satisfy my needs as well. I refuse to pay a monthly fee for data access. In fact, I use a Tracfone pay-as-you-go for my cell phone and my yearly cell cost is now only $80! It does what I need it to do--make/receive calls and send/receive text msgs. Oh yes, I love gadgets, but I refuse to get sucked back into a monthly bill for $75+. WiFi is just fine for me. Got broadband at home, wifi at work, and I find hotspots when I'm out and about. So while I would love an iPhone, the Touch will get me the mobile media gadget I want for the low, low price of no extra data costs.

Hi, Yes, one can get Facebook and Twitter with iPod Touch 5th generation. As far as music and photos, it depends on how many apps/games one downloads on their iPod. It does come with a considerable amount of storage space (32 & 64 GB). I have downloaded several apps with large files and I still have plenty of space for music and photos. I hope my response is helpful! Be Well:)

My justification for iPod is the ease and convenience of content purchase, particularly video. iTunes is seamless in this regard, and I am able to purchse the sort of content I like (typically science and history documentaries) with ease. iTunes has a lot to choose from, and the iPod Touch is a great experience for this.

Does this remark "[5th bullet] Compatibility- iPod classic 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G; iPod touch 1G, 2G, 3G; iPhone 1G, 3G, 3Gs, 4G" mean that this unit is compatible with the iPhone 4?

I heard that the newer, faster iPad 2 will be coming out by the end of February. Rumor is it might have 4G speed. It would probably be wise to wait a couple of months to see what Apple has to offer. I'm just saying....

if you are wanting to play games at all, go for the ipod. I use my touch 70% of the time to play games on the train to work.

It was ATT when I bought it. That was when the 5th gen just came out. I had a 4s 16gb & wanted a 64gb & added a line for my daughter. That was right before Christmas 2012. No such thing as a cloud at that time so the answer to that is no.

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.

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?

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 bought an iPod nano 5G as my first Apple product. It was on sale and seemed to have a lot of great features. But as someone said do you really need all that? The only thing I use it for is listening to music. I have not even learned how to use the video camera, pedometer, built in speaker or the radio. I think it is well built, attractive, has a good sound and overall I am happy with it. I guess I do have some neat features in the unit if I ever should need them.

I just contacted SOny support and they told me it is compatible with a 4G Ipod but when I asked them to clarify about the 4G Touch - they checked their Knowledge Database and said that it is NOT compatible with a 4G TOUCH

Well if the ipod touch 5th generation is the same structure as the iphone 5, yes. I don't have an ipod anything. :) Sorry.

Hello, you don't need a camera! The iPod touch will be fine! But you xon't ne able to film yourself and use that movie (it's actually a small extra option)

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

I'm in the market for a good portable unit for my fourth generation iPod Touch. I found these reviews/comparisons very helpful, except that I still haven't seen an answer to the compatibility question.J. Hansen
