iPod Touch, Classic, Nano or get Apple TV?

syke · 12 Sep 2008 at 16:30

Thinking about getting one of the above, and if i was to get the Nano or the Touch it'd be 16GB, as i have an old 8GB Nano which is near the end of its life. So the question is, do i get Apple TV to plug into my TV, at 279, iPod Classic at 179, iTouch at 219 or Nano at 149? What do you think?

Obviously different technology, iPod vs ATV, but yeah.

Out of the iPod Touch, Nano and Classic what would you get? Learning kinda towards the Nano price wise.

Ah k.

Just been watching the videos about the Nano and the iPod Touch. Both look amazing. Hmm. Dunno if I need anywhere near 120GB, but for 179 isn't too bad!

What's wrong with your current nano? Does it still work?

If so, then don't be replacing it. Get the AppleTV instead.

The scroll isn't functioning properly.

Right, so there's a fault with it. In that case, you should get whatever you'll use the most. If it's between the nano and the touch then you decide whether you want a device which is effectively just an mp3 player (the nano) or what is effectively a good PDA type device which also happens to play music (the touch). You'll notice I don't mention the classic!

What do you want it for?

Heh.

Well I'll at some stage get them both. Just not sure what first. I have my phone for the PDA, the only extra with the Touch imo is the WiFi tbh. Kind of leaning towards the Nano at the moment, because of the 16GB for 149.

New touch tbh. Or nano if you don't wanna play video etc.

I think I am about to crack and order a Nano, now... red or black?

The touch is great but it's considerably larger and more expensive.

Bought an Apple TV the other day, loving it. I could do most of it via my PS3 and medialink but the HD movie rentals, TV series and simple ease of use make this much better.

Raikiri · 12 Sep 2008 at 23:33

Aaaand I ordered a Touch

Think I'm now pretty much sold on the iPod Touch now lol. Just 8GB or 16GB to decide between.

is there anyway to connect a touch to a usb pen drive?

I have a 32GB Touch, and love it to bits. Be warned though, since getting it, I want an iphone, as its just so lovely to use.

Nope, in my months of trawling the mac forums I haven't seen it done.
