Planning on buying an Ipod Touch 8 gb

Well, I plan on purchasing a new Ipod Touch soon but don't know which generation to get and whether I should wait longer. At Best Buy Canada, the Ipod Touch 2G 8 gb is $199 but is it worth paying an extra $20 for the 3G? From what I can see, the Touch hasn't/barely changed. I'm also worried that they'll release a Touch 3G 8 gb with the hardware upgrade. I plan on using the Ipod Touch for music, a few movies/videos but mainly for apps and wifi.
Thanks!

It really all depends on how much music/how many apps/movies you plan on having. If you want to keep multiple movies, have more than 500 songs and a crap load of apps, then you might want to think about a higher gigabyte count. For example, I have about 400 songs (about 2 gigs) and about 112 apps (1.5 gigs) and that leaves me room for one, maybe two movies. If you are about the same, then 8 gigs should be good. But if you want wiggle room, then you might want to go higher.
However, waiting for the next generation may prove to be a bit tedious since it's almost a guarantee that it's not coming until next September, seeing as how they have already released the new iPods for the next year.

  • I am planning to buy an Ipod touch here in saudi but the facetime application is unenabled, if i bought here and bring it to other country, can i enabled the facetime?

    i am planning to buy an Ipod touch here in saudi but the facetime application is unenabled, if i bought here and bring it to other country (open country), can i enabled the facetime?

    The only way you're going to get facetime is if you purchase your device is a country that hasn't banned its use. However, I'm not sure if it'll even work if you do that. As in the program is disabled on the server level....for example I can bring my US device into Saudi but Facetime will not work until I get outside of the country's borders.
    Skype is a program that's often mentioned as a work around for that country's ban on Facetime. (I know it exists for iPad, not sure if there's an iPod version)

  • Planning to buy the iPod Touch 4....have questions

    Hiya! I'm planning on buying the new 4th-gen iPod Touch. and i would like to ask some queries please if i may:
    1. does it have the same preset EQ's like the current iPhone? can you edit/customise the EQ's?
    2. i have heard that you can "set" and "assign" an EQ to a song before uploading it to a device? may i know how?
    3. anyone know if any 3rd-party software would also be fine in transferring files to the iPod?
    4. any sugestions for a good Divx player for the iPod Touch?
    * i have files mostly of the .avi and .mkv formats
    5. any sugestions for an alternative music player app that i can download which "added" features like some surround sound, customisable EQ's, etc.
    6. any alternative camera app to enhance camera photos and with some more features, etc.
    Thank you.

  • I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend for one month to use in Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?

    I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?  Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

    The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
    *From the article*:
    Products Affected
    iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

  • Should I buy an iPod touch?

    I'm thinking about buying an iPod touch but I'm not sure if this is a good time to do this. Should I wait more for any new announcements or something like that?

    It depends on what you want to use the ipod for. I bought a touch to help me manage lists of things to do, my calendar when I am away from my desk and my mobile me account where I use the public folder. I've found the ipod to be very useful for all of these things . . . making my job easier. I've shopped the applications store and found inexpensive applications that I use everyday -- Todo being my favorite find.
    I can't seem to figure out the problem with sending / receiving emails. But, overall I am pleased with my purchase.

  • I buy my ipod touch 4 in colombia, but i dont have some apps

        I buy my ipod touch in colombia, but i dont have some apps in the ipod that other ipods have like angry birds, why? and i can do something for that this other apps appear without buying another ipod?

    It has nothing to do with where the iPod was purchased (except for FaceTime since some middle-eastern countries prohibit FT and it does not appear on those iPods). I depends upon what is available in the App store in the counry where you are located.

  • To buy an iPod touch in the USA

    Hi,
    I may buy an iPod touch in the USA to use it in France, but I wonder, will I be able to update it in France?(if a new update is available). And by the way, what's about the warranty?
    Thank you very much.

    Good day, I know someone who purchased an iPod from the Apple Store in the US while on vacation then they needed to take it in to the Apple Store for warranty support and the Apple store in the UK said that the warranty is still covered even though it was purchased in the US.
    They said they only difference between the two models was that due to a law in Europe of the UK the volume limit was restricted and the max volume level was less than what the North American model has for the max volume level. Obviously this isn't that big of a deal so they replaced the iPod for him covered under the warranty.
    And yes you will be able to update it using iTunes just fine.
    Hope that helps, Cheers!

    i  wanted to ask whether the camera for ipod touch comparable to a digital camera? if not are there apps available that can turn it into a digital camera? i want to buy an ipod touch and i like photography....what should i do? plz suggest

    The iPod touch has a very rudimentary camera.  It has only a 0.6 MP resolution, no optical zoom, no flash, etc.   There is no app that can improve this as it is limited by the hardware. So it is not a replacement for a digital camera (nor even for an iPhone whose camera has a 5.0 MP resolution.
