Thumbs up iPod Touch

Anyone else have one of these? I just picked one up last week. I got the 16 GB version. Man this thing is slick. I had an iPod Nano. My Dad wanted to buy and iPod so I thought if I sold him my old one it would be a good "excuse" to upgrade to the Touch. Thing cost me an arm and leg...maybe even an ear.

You can surf the net, download songs, movies, photos and a bunch of other things. They are supposed to be releasing some Software Development Kits soon so that programs can be made for it (games, etc).

Anyone else have one and what do you think about it?

My son and daughter (18 & 17 y/o) each got their own for Christmas, and they love 'em! Those things are really impressive...so much so that now my wife is getting one too. Besides all the internet, tunes, vids, etc. it will also function as a PDA.

It's basically an I-phone without the phone (or the cost of the phone and being limited to AT&T service). We got them on somewhat of a sale at Best Buy in early December.

I really like them, but the bang for the buck is not there yet. I will stay with my 80gb video until they increase the GB and lower the $...

It should be good in two years, but I can wait

Ya, that's the only thing I don't really like. 16GB was the biggest I could get. That's not so bad for music but when you get the video then it really starts taking the memory. My Touch cost me $500 after TAXES. Had to pick my wife up off the floor after showing her that receipt.

Yep, I have used 50Gigs on mine, so it is not practical.

If you remember when they came out with the second generation of video Ipod, it was 15 or 30 gigs and it $500.
