i got a 80Gb Pod Classic, and a 16GB Touch,, i enjoy the touch above the classic, i rarely even use the classic anymore,, but i do enjoy the Classic over my 60GB 5th Gen. but the Touch does take the Cake

I don't understand why they're calling the 80 gig iPod the Classic when the 60 was out before it? BTW, I have a 60 Video iPod.

It is the "classic" style. Both the 80GB and 160GB are the iPod Classic now.

it'll sync podcasts no problem, on one of the screen shots i posted there was the latest dig video that got synced on there

Howdy - I'm afraid that the wireless iTunes Store does not automatically grab and sync podcasts. I've done a quick search on there using my Touch, but nope, PodCasts cannot be seen, subscribed, checked and downloaded :(

I'd love for this feature to be available - would be great to sync my podcasts when popping past a free wireless point.

Note that iTunes Wireless Store doesn't have videos yet, either - so hopefully both podcast and video is only a matter of time away...

Where are you guys shopping? My apple store has a wall of them that aren't really moving or they just restock quick I guess. I wasn't sure about buying one, but your review has convinced me. Off to the apple store I go.

Buy the way, how do you people carry your iPod Touch on your person? Just in your pocket? Since the screen is scratch resistant like the iPhone correct?

I purchrased mine at FutureShop (in canada). It doesn't matter where you purchase it, the prices are all the same. In terms of where i put it when i am walking around and how I store it, I just throw it in my pocket. I have ordered a case for it on ebay mainly for the back of it (i have had it for a week and the back is hella scracted up). The back is just like any other ipod where it is vulnerable to any and all sort of scratches.

Invisible shield. Got one for my 16Gb touch and its truely amazing. Apply it right and you don't even know its there. :)

Plus you can ram this thing in your pocket now and it not get scratched :)

I Love the Jailbreak, it'll tie me over until Apple release the proper SDK.

Got the SE K850i Today, and it compliments the touch so well.

Might write a review for it :)

Has anyone here that had a 30g video moved onto a 8 or 16g touch? I'm considering moving over to a touch and keeping my video to use wile skiing (this way I don't have to worry about breaking it). I have about 7.2g of music and really am not concerned about putting videos on it, although I would like to be able to fit a good amount of apps. (I can probably bring my music collection down to about 5g if needed to fit crucial apps. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to go with the 8g? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with the 16g for $100 more? Alternatively would it be a better idea to just scrap the idea and stick with the video? Thanks for your opinions guys, much appreciated.

So just the Invisible Shield? Just stick it in your pocket and everything is ok? No carrying case needed for protection?

So what kind of stuff do you have running on your Touch with Jailbreak? Is it easy to go back to the official firmware?

I believe if you just plug it in and hit "restore" in itunes it will remove jailbreak and bring it back to teh factory default.

A bunch of stuff, nintendo, mail, google maps, Tap Tap Revolution (like dance dance, but tappy tappy), tetris, VNC, SSH, IM client, notepad, dictionary, labyrinth and so on, there is jsut to many to name and the list is just getting bigger.

excellent review. Mine is on the way now. 16gb also, was looking for a decent review so I am glad it was here.

Good Job. Also when i get it expect a pm on the howto of hacking it

no worries, bring it on

Meh, i am about to order one of this i want the 16GB, but then i think about the $400...... and all the things i could buy with that money.

Does it really, REALLY worth it to spend that kind of money on this gadget??

Take in an old iPod, like a Shuffle, and get 10% off. I took in a broken 1G Shuffle for recycling and got the discount.

I want the ipod touch, not a shuffle or classic or nano.

but then again, does it really worth it, is it really that good of a gadget?

No, if you take another iPod in for recycling they can apply the 10% discount towards an iPod Touch. I'm just saying I had an old iPod Shuffle that didn't work anymore so it was a no brainer for me to take in. Worth it unless you can get more for eBaying whatever iPod you may already have, if any.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
