my buddy skied with his touch all year and it never broke. took some decently hard falls as well. they say not to but just get a hard case and it will be fine.

if you want a sturdy, awesome music/video/radio player with a big screen and pretty cool features, get the Zune 80, i have one. if you would find the web and extra gadgets useful and think its worth the money, get the touch. but i like the zune, and for the price, its pretty hard to beat.

that was the original plan, to get a zune, because its cheaper, has a huge screen and more space, as well as supports normal video formats.  But I think the thing with the touch is that its so much more than an mp3 and video player.  With the browser and wifi its almost a mini computer, and the apps are all super cool.  I haven't even put music on it yet, and i've had it for 5 days.

i doubt prices on the old ones will lower, because if an 8 gb touch becomes 1999 then nanos would be like 50 bucks...

Ive been thinking about getting one also.  I would get the 8 gb but i dont know if that is big enough.  the 16gb one is too expensive for me.  I dont know if Im going to get the ipod touch or ipod classic.

I got an 8g touch free with my macbook pro for college, but i just gave it to my dad because i figured my blackberry could get internet, and my classic has way more room anyway.

i downloaded some apps yesterday but I'm at work right now so I havent had the chance to try them out yet. I got monkey ball($10), pandora radio(free), and some dj mixer app(free), so i'm waiting to try them out when i get home. I'm mainly interested in the games, because a good game developer could make some sick games in the future

nope, no msn yet. But what you can do is go to www.meebo.com in safari and use it there, I did that for aim a couple times and it works great.

you can check out all the apps if you have the latest version of itunes and visit the store

I love my ipod touch.  the only problem with it is there is no flash player so you cant watch ski videos on sites other than youtube.

Through iTunes 7.7. New version launched yesterday. Then when you are in the iTunes store, there is a special "App Store" section.
