Help me spend my money.

[Valjylmyr]

So, Newgrounds, after my friend showed me the apps on his iPod Touch, I've considered (re)buying one. My first one was a first-gen 16 gig, bought when they were first released, with a battery life of about 4 hours. Being dissatisfied, I sold it before I knew about the flood of apps to be released. However, now that I've seen the fun I can have on it, I sort of want another one.

I have enough money to get a 32 gig (which costs $300), however I only have about $410 with about $30 coming in from money owed by friends. The Touch would be used mainly for apps since I have a 120 gig Classic, however I would of course put some music on it.

So, would it be worth it?

Nope, not at all. The only thing worth spending your money on is investing in bananas.

A LOT of them!

Buy some of Lady GaGa's CD's. Penis included.

If you want apps get an iPad. Seems like you're just looking for a toy.

What I find sad is that anyone who has an iPod touch uses it mostly for its apps. I have a friend who has one and he only spent 10MB on 4 songs. The rest of the space is jailbreak apps. So depending on how you'll use your iPod(for apps or for music) choose wisely.

I'm not looking for something that big. I wanted something to fit in my pocket.

The question you should be asking yourself is if it's worth it to YOU. Think about how long you'll have it, and whether you think you can get $300 of good honest entertainment in the time you plan to keep it to play with all those apps.

Another way to look at it is the divide what you'll spend into the time you intend to keep it and wonder to yourself whether it's going to bring you that dollar value of entertainment per day over that period. And then to look at alternatives like the Cowan S9, a Zune HD, or a Droid phone with a ton of apps.

The apps are really not worth $300 unless you want to pay another $500 for the good apps. 99% of the free apps suck badly.

You have an iPod already, getting an iPod touch just for the apps is like getting a PSP for the games. If you simply want games, get the full scale thing, a PS3, likewise for your iPod situation.

However, if you really just want a toy that fits in your pocket, fine get the iPod, but it's a bit redundant considering that you already have an iPod.

Definitely buy one. I still love mine after over a year. Even some free apps are great. OpenFeint is a good app to start with because it gives you a free game every day. Most of the time they're fairly fun.

The PSP comparison is horrible. By that logic he should get a PowerMac and a big Apple Cinema Display. I don't think it's redundant if there's at least 1 or a handful of really useful apps he'd be using on a regular basis. If there's really one you need, that iPod classic won't cut it. But I'm with these guys, if it's a just a toy to you then save your money.

I have a friend who'll jailbreak it for me. Every app on his (and he's got a good five pages of them) were free from jailbreaking.

As I said, it's a Classic. Comparing a Classic to a PS3 and a Touch to a PSP doesn't really help me. The Classic is for my music, the Touch is for apps. I have almost 60 gigs of music, and I don't want to spend $400 on an iPod that's going to full of music if the one I have is already full of music. The Touch is going to by my app machine. If I fill a 64 gig model with music, I'll have about 4 gigs for apps.
