Also, buy a Zune HD. IMO, a much better media player than ipod. And it's software is far less of a resource hog than itunes.
If you are strictly looking for an mp3 player, Zune wins.
If you like the apps, iTouch wins hands down.
Same point of view on the
iPhone--if you want a great phone, it isn't. But it is a great "computer."
Personally for that price, I am not just buying an mp3. I think it is the app capabilities that draw us.
