cbbutler2 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Son wants an Ipod touch but which one is the best one and how much are they? I think they will tear up easily. I am a zune fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokanm Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 How old is he? How responsible with his things is he? I got DS one when he was 21 and he had that for 2 years until it was stolen I ended up giving him mine but I am replacing mine soon. They are somewhat fragile and easily lost/stolen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbutler2 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 He will be 15 in 2 weeks. What about the new Zune also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokanm Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't know anything about the Zune. We got the 16 gb Touchs and they hold more than I would ever use. Look for deals here with gift cards etc. I bought one on www.apple.com a refurb and it works great and was a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysschevous Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 My son has had an ipod or iphone since he was 13. He has not lost it yet. :) His grandfather did step on his ipod touch, but it still works, just has a very cracked screen. lol He mostly uses his iphone now.

neile457 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have a Zune HD 16 gb and love it, plenty of room. But, if he wants an ipod touch, I would get that for him. The touch has a lot more games / apps for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue-Z-Q Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 For Christmas, we gave our DD (just turned 15) an iPod touch 64GB. They run around $400.00. I bought it at Best Buy and bought the extended warranty as the gal told me the screens tend to crack/break. My thought was, if I get the biggest one, she won't be asking for an upgrade and it would hold everything that she wants on it. We have Wi-Fi in our home, so she is getting a ton of use out of it! Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staviles Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Agree with previous poster..I got my DS 18 the new IPOD for Christmas and he is on it nonstop..it will give us directions, phone numbers, allows him to text and chat with friends, log on to Facebook and Yahoo, keep track of his work schedule AND listen to his music..lol...I just couldn't believe how much he uses it..he even downloaded the drivers ed textbook on it and is studying that way!! Great buy..oh and we are a Zune house too, but the new Ipod Touch totally blows our Zunes out of the water!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaS Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I bought my 14 year old nephew the 8 gig Ipod Touch (3rd gen) for a Christmas & Birthday gift. Amazon.com was the cheapest place I found. $183.99 no tax & free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elena_398 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I got my 15 yr old a 32GB Ipod Touch and LOVES IT. Said it was the best present he has ever received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbutler2 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 okay I am thinking about the 32gb one. What else do i need to purchase? Such as for apps, etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitress07419 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would recommend that you purchase a case (for they tend to scratch easily), an arm band if the person will be using it at the gym or jogging but most importantly - as many itunes gift cards you could possibly afford. I gave my son $300 and it was gone in no time ... I know it sounds like alot but it's really amazing how quickly it goes-lol (talking for myself-lol). Great gift idea!
