Son wants an Ipod touch but which one

[cbbutler2]

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.

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

He will be 15 in 2 weeks. What about the new Zune also?

[tokanm]

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Yes... That means more and more McD's, Dunkin' Donuts, shopping malls, professional baseball stadiums, etc.

I got my 15 yr old a 32GB Ipod Touch and LOVES IT. Said it was the best present he has ever received.

[cbbutler2]

okay I am thinking about the 32gb one. What else do i need to purchase? Such as for apps, etc.....

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!
