Good day boys & girls. There has been a lot of hype about the i-touch/i-phone. I was planning to buy the I-touch, but realized that 16GB may not be sufficient. So then i went looking around. I ended up with two choices(I've included the stats). So which would you choose?
I-TOUCH:

or

ARCHOS:

I was wishing I'd gotten Gen 5 Archos.

I would go the ipod touch over the archos. I bought an ipod touch the day after it hit shelves in Australia and i have had nothing but joy from it since then. Yes it may have a smaller cacity but its alot smaller then the archos and the software for managing files on it is alot easier to use.

I've got a 2GB iPod Nano and it's enough.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

2GB gives me some 24 hours of music on the thing.
That's more than enough time to reach a PC that has iTunes on it

Ha, I've got around 150 GB of music on my drive, so I'd need serious ipod storage to get it all...

Anyhow, thanks for this thread, I've been curious about buying the touch and this helps.

I have an iPod touch (jailbroken, of course).

It's my pride and joy. I absolutely love it.

As for storage, I doubt you should need to put your 150gb collection onto a device.

I remember I had a 4gb iPod Mini and I had to uncheck all the songs that I'd never listen to on the road.

16gb is just enough for me to have videos, photos, and music with a comfy 4gb left on it.
