talk to me about iPods

[rm]

I had a generation 3 silver chiclet before the theft.

I loved it. It was light, but I could still feel if I had it or not, and it didn't have a touch screen (I hate fucking touch screens).

The chiclet no longer exists, having been replaced by some little tiny touchscreen thing that I find confusing. The shuffle is a no go. I hate the iTouch (and dude, if I'm going to go there, I'd get an iPhone which doesn't work on my carrier). So do I need to go with the Classic? Is there any benefit to ordering an old chiclet and a slightly reduced cost.

I feel like I get so much more bang for the buck with the new models, eventhough they are all bigger and heavier than I want or have the scary touch screen factor.

Weigh in?

I really like the "iTouch." I know that some people have difficulty with touch screens, as far as their fingers not getting used to the method. However, I had no problems and I really like it...

If you think you can handle the touch screen, I would go for it. I used to have [a 5th generation iPod video] on par with the iPod Classic and it was really heavy... like a brick. Plus, all it could do was play music.

I like that I can access my own WiFi network in my own house with the "iTouch" instead of ONLY playing music. If the idea of watching YouTube or checking the weather from bed, go for the iPod Touch. If all you want to do is play music, spring for the iPod Classic.

Considering that the two are on a similar price rack, that's the only useful difference (in my opinion).

I guess what I'm saying is... I feel like the iPod Touch is the best, most versatile iPod that Apple is selling right now. :-)

This is just general talk about iPods, not 100% specifically what your needs may be. I've only had two non-shuffle iPod in my lifetime, so I can only talk about what I know. :-/
