ipod 8GB vs 16GB: However, if I am buying for a 14 yr old boy, will a 8GB be good enough or will he be sorry that he doesn't have more GB?

he will prolly want every app you could think of...as well as all his songs...to save your self a headache i would get 16 or 32 gig. a bit more money...but its something he can use in the years to come.

any of you think you need to waist a lot of money just to get more space come on it would probobly be really hard just to fill up a 32gb or 16gb ipod touch much less a 128gb mp3 player (I'm gessing mp3 cause apples the only one that makes ipod)

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

4gb The ipod is cool but the only thing that's sucks is that u need headphones that can turn the volume up on it because u can't on the ipod it self.

Yes, the 8GB ipod is the same size as the 4GB ipod. It just has more memory inside of it.

Jeremy, I would highly recommend getting a case and screen protector. The back of the iPod Touch is highly prone to scratches which make the device very unattractive and ultimately reduce its resale value as well. The screen is very scratch resistance, but it's still a good idea to cover it with a screen protector. Ideally, both should be on hand when he's ready to open the box. I would also recommend getting better earphones. The stock Apple earphones are pretty mediocre. Even the $10 Sony earphones I bought from WalMart give better performance than the stock Apple earphones. The dimensions of iPod Touch do differ from generation to generation. The 4th differs from previous gens, so cases meant for them won't work with it. All 4th gen. iPod Touches have the same dimensions, so a case meant for 8 GB unit will fit the 32 and 64 GB units as well.

Most definitely. I currently have 11 apps and 4,343 songs. Phew! Anyway, I actually want more on my iPod but it is very close to being full. I can fit a couple more albums on there but that's about it. I have the 32 GB and I wish I could have afforded the 64 GB version because then I won't run out of space. 32 GB is definitely a lot but for me it's certainly not enough! :)

I don't know about the five star reviews, I took a chance and ordered 2 of these an 8gb and a 16gb for my daughters one is in jr high and one is in college. They were Christmas presents, as of todays date there have been no problems with them and they get used a lot!

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

All depends on what you plan to use it for. Usually more is better. I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me. I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one. There is an expansion slot on all.

The seller should specify; it could be 16 or 32....if the seller does not specify I would assume 16 GB

I love it because its small and thin. Its completely touch screen. The thing is awesome! Plus its got 16GB of storage for all of my music. Its an awesome iPod. Full functions of a standard size one too. Hope this helps!

We didn't have a problem with 4 GB but I guess it depends on what you're installing. My son had Minecraft Pocket Edition, Bad Piggies and Angry Birds on his plus a bunch of books. There was still memory to spare with those applications added.

I bought the 32gb over the 64gb for only one reason a $100.00 savings. I carry 3days worth of music and around 8 hours of video. not to mention all the apps. for me the 32gb was the right decision. Brian

They haven't updated it in almost 2 years so if they don't change it at all we can assume that it may be discontinued, because the iPod Touch is expected to get a 128gb model. Personally I would rather pay $250 for 160gb rather than $400 for 128gb.

In case you didn't know, you can purchase more gb's through iCloud, for example 20gb for approx $1.06 per month, tax included. This is for your 16 gb iPad. So you still have options to add more gb's. I hope this helps...
