Anyone have an iPod Touch? Just wondering what you think of it. I'm looking at getting one, but they're kinda dear! :rolleyes:
 
Do you have the LG Vu up there yet? It's similar to the iphone.
 
teenage DS has one and loves it. Nana bought if for him and he treasures that thing, it is the only thing he actually takes care of. It is pretty neat, but I have an ipod and wouldn't buy one unless my other one died.

Just googled it and we do, but I never looked into that one. I don't want something I need to buy a plan for. Don't think iPod Touch needs one....or am I wrong?

Right -- you don't need a plan for iPod Touch, because it's not a phone. I have the iPhone and it's the best thing I ever bought, so I can say with confidence that you will be thrilled to death with your iPod Touch!
 
My iPod kinda creeps me out.
