I am seriously thinking about getting an iPod touch. For those who have bought one can you give me some pros and cons. Do you use it as much as you thought you would???

    I got one about a year and a half ago, and I don't think I could live without it!

    ...ok, that's a little dramatic, but you know what I mean.
    Love love love!

    I use mine all the time. All the apps and such are really helpful. It's a lovely piece of electronic equipment.

    I use mine more often than I imagined I would, actually. I'm a big audiobook fan, though, and use it for the commute to work and back daily. Checking email, logging calories, going grocery shopping with a shopping application, surfing the net in the bath (snicker) etc. etc.

    Pros:
    > Cool applications--Things like a unit converter helps for working out grams to ounces easily. I stay away from the games, though... too addictive.
    > Wifi capability--it's like a mini computer, and I use the internet browser with little difficulty. Some internet sites have their own applications to download, which is awesome. (Like MFP's application, grin).
    > It's very simple and easy to use.

    Cons for me are:
    > Size of the thing--after using a Nano, the Touch is heavier and bulkier, which is a pain if you're exercising with it.
    > Battery life--it seems to need charging much more regularly than the Nano.
    > Obviously the wifi and internet do not work when I'm not in range.

    I use mine ALL the time, whether im on my laptop working, logging cals, or chatting - or when i'm in the gym or street running. I got it in January 2008 and have probably used it every day since :D Definitely get one, they rock! The MFP app just adds the icing onto the, erm, apple.

    I just got mine a month ago and I love it. I agree with the battery issue but it will charge from any computer as long as you keep the cord around I don't find that to be a problem.

    The battery life is good if you don't have the brightness at full power (half is good) and make sure the wifi is switched off when you don't need it.
