Reviews :
IPod Touch notreally worth the extra cash
Love my iPod touch but th e8GB classic iPod is just as good for a much smaller amount. I have not done everything with it that can be done with it so maybe I will change my mind later.

AN ACTUAL SYNC
So, I am one of those off people who haven't had an iPod since the 1 GB nano. This is my second one. Needless to say I filled up my PC with 10 GB of music and was heavily syncing various playlists every week. Well, I finally decided that this year I wanted an upgrade and was seriously torn between this product and the 120GB. I thought all I want is more music and podcast space, right?

Thankfully, a few people within my circle suggested the 16GB touch for the same price and I can't believe I ever considered the alternative. The iTouch is amazing and has literally changed things for me. I was concerned about not having enough space like I wanted; but, I was surprised as to how much I have available with this iPod. The built in speakers are also great. For example, when listening to a podcast in the car I can keep listening when I get home by setting it on the counter without having to plug in headphones...brilliant!. My only complaint which isn't really a complaint as much as it is a fact is that I wish there were more Wi-Fi places in the area. It is kind of bunk when I want to download a book or search for show times on the fly; but, need to find a hotspot first. Obviously, I just call instead. So, all I really want to share in this review is what I actually have synched on my touch right now for those of you who are considering this product or another one.
