iPod advice. -
1 November 2007, at 23:16
Hey, I'm planning on buying an iPod in the next days, so I have a doubt on my mind about this:
Should I buy iPod Classic (aka 6th generation) or iPod Touch. The iPod Touch is the same concept as the iPhone. Multi-touch screen, it has 8/16 Gb memory and wide 3.5'' screen. On the otherside, the iPod Classic has 80/160 Gb memory, 2.4'' screen. I need a lot of space for movies, tv shows, music especialy, but I also like browsing the net via wi-fi etc. that only iPod Touch can do it.

So if any of you owns any of the mentioned iPods above could help me decide what should I buy. What's best for you? Thanks in advance.

well to me it depends on what you have.  The Touch can hold either 2 or 4 thousand songs or 8 or 20 hours of video.  Obviousley you can find a happy median for both as well.  The nice thing about the touch is that for movies the 3.5" screen is nice.  The internet browsing on it is pretty good as well.  I use it on my iPhone all the time and its really handy, the only thing  that I dont know about is that the Touch is only hot-spot oriented, where as the iPhone has it all the time.

Personally for me the Classic is the winner.  When it comes to the price : what you get ratio, the classic wins hands down.  the 80 will hold either 20,000 songs, or 100 hours of video.  It gets better battery life,  and is  $50 cheaper then the 8 gig Touch.

Of course if you are a big movie watcher, the Touch wins because of the bigger 16:9 ratio widescreen.  Also the Touch interface is very nice indeed.
