My lovely wife Kathy is leaving one job and entering a new one. As a going away gift, the company gave her an 8gig iPod Touch. So I've been playing it a bit here and there, only when I'm allowed to. *sniff*
If you got the money, go get one. Apple's MP3 players are amazing but to have a device that has hundreds of applications to acquire is awesome. You have the complete internet experience in your pocket. Plus, you get all the iPhone functionality without the monthly phone bill.
Why haven't I purchased one yet? You're starting at $240 smacks Canadian for an 8gig model. Want to move up? It's $300 for 16gig. When you start getting into the pricing of desktop video game consoles for a portable device, it starts to bother me. I believe the pricing is just too high for a portable device. The storage is small and when you wanna increase you have to pay premium. The day will happen when you'll drop your beloved device and the wear and tear begins.
As a gaming device, it's adequate. There are plenty of free flash type of games out for it. Nothing in Apple's game library can touch Sony's PSP or Nintendo's DS. It can't compete. If you wanna system that plays really awesome games then get one of those instead.
If you have the money. It's Christmas time and you wanna treat yourself, then go get one now. Today. It's awesome!
