Apple fans come in! Need advice please
I'd like to surprise my h with an iPod or iTouch for Christmas. He still uses his cd player when he goes on business trips (how old school!). He's going on more trips now, especially international. My iPod is ancient and I don't think it works anymore. He wants to be able to listen to his music and not drag around cd's.
So he loves the iPhone. I think he drools a little bit everytime he sees one. But we can't get it since we are with Verizon and we'd like to stay with them. The fee is also a little expensive for us. He likes the email, calendar, and game functions as well as being able to surf the internet (and of course listening to music). We have very simple phones. So my questions are:
1. What do you think of the iTouch? What are your experiences/what have you heard? Is the 8GB too small? The 32 GB is more than I want to spend. Is there a monthly fee to use it? I can't find that info on the internet.
2. Or do I get him get him the regular iPod? Is there a reason why this is a better product when the iTouch has more functions?
3. Any other tips/advice?
Thanks for your help!
Re: Apple fans come in! Need advice please
iTouch sounds perfect, it's essentially the iPhone w/o the phone, and since you want to stay on Verizon and don't want the data plan fees, it's just right for your h.
I haven't heard anything about any plans or fees, I think it just works on WiFi, not cellular data networks? If that's the case, there wouldn't be any fees, you'd just hook onto your WiFi at home/work or wherever it's free.
I have an iPhone, and I can see it being plenty useful w/o celullar access if it wasn't my phone. It would probably mean I couldn't lurk the nest at stoplights, that's about it
Thanks! I'll take that into consideration.
I have the 8GB ipod touch and I LOVE it!
You might also want to check out the new ipod nano if you don't need the WiFi feature. I just got it for DH for his birthday and he LOVES it. It has great features..he plays games on it and watches movies in addition to having all his music.
