I had saved for 2 months to buy this, one, at the unusual price of $350.08 through Amazon, the cheapest place I found, even Best Buy told me they wouldnt match any price from Amazon, and APPLE itself would not budge on its $399 price ..... so the $49.02 savings right there was a good start. Shipping however was an issue since it came from a 3rd party store out of NY (please ensure they will allow you to pick up the package if you arent able to be home to receive it) and took me 2 days to get the stores to talk to UPS and fix the shipping issue so I could go to the local UPS to pick it up.Besides that, the compatability with Itunes is flawless, it recognized it immediately through my laptop and really only took about an hour the first time to upload 64GB of songs, Videos, Apps, Podcasts and photos. The cool extras of being able to talk into the earphones (surprising sound quality btw) to say Play Artist whatever or Play Songs by Whatever and it understood it is cool, plus the WIFI connection to check emails is awesome and a flawless set up as well, it even plays via bluetooth through my laptop speakers ... and videos will now play through my video bar I have attached to my TV .... the only BAD thing I have found, and have contacted APPLE 3 times about, is when I had a 30GB Classic and 8GB NANO before ... your playlists were verbatim what it shows in your itunes block ... you want your Top 50 to show by Artist, it played that way, by song, it played that way ... etc ..... the problem with the I Touch is that for whatever reason, my playlists are there, but by SONG only and seems to be in no particular order and cannot be changed as I could with the Classic and the NANO .... Otherwise, this is a great technological marvel, plays anything and everything ... battery life is commendable ... plays all day in my car listening to music ... plays 6 or 7 hrs watching videos ... and recharges quickly. A wide range of aftermarket items from IHome really brings out the best in this thing and seems to fit into every ITouch slot provided with unexpectedly great sound quality ... it even has a speaker (if you want to call it that, but I wouldnt recommend it unless you are just showing it off to a few people .. why they added one I dont know) ....... but the small missteps are no match ,... I swore I would never fall into the IPOD trap at all but every model has been more advanced than the last one and Im SOLD!!!!Sure hope this helps someone decide what they need to do .... I fully recommend it!!! ( BUT ONLY FOR ADULTS OR MATURE YOUNG ADULTS ... This is too expensive a device for teens or younger ... they wont appreciate it later)
