I'm thinking about getting an iPod touch when the new ones some out. Does anyone have any opinions on them? Will it still be useful even though I don't have wi-fi access?

I'm very interested in opinions on this, too. I was determined to get one when I'd heard Apple was going to offer a 128gb version this year, but since that has been announced as false, I'm kind of on the fence.

Hmm, apparently there's going to be a 5mp camera on the new iPods. That'd save me getting a new cell phone. (My current one's so old it doesn't have any camera.) On the other hand, there's no radio.

heh! when I had to get a new phone a couple of years ago, I would have been happy with one without a camera. But all the phones have cameras now.

Why not just get an iPhone, Arachne? I have a 32gig 3GS and I love it. That would "kill 2 birds with 1 stone" as they say.

I bought a 16gb model when they first came out and absolutely loved it. The only reason I do not have it now is I needed more storage and they had not released the 64gb model at that time.
Without wi-fi you do miss out on some of the immediacy of fun things it can do but the amount of apps you can get now and the two new cameras will go a long way towards counteracting that.
So I would completely recommend one even if you do not have wi-fi but will say they are even better if you do.

I don't need a new cell phone, I just want an easily portable camera. Even if I did, iPhones are way more expensive than iPod Touches and then you've got a huge monthly plan to pay on top of that.

I found out my library has free wi-fi, so I will get to play around with it a bit. I've been browsing iTunes and there's certainly a lot of useful stuff available. And the games, of course. And they're almost all so cheap!

I have a current Touch. I don't need the camera feature, but I can see that as a perk.
It actually can be touchy (no pun intended) in wifi zones. Sometimes it's automatic, and sometimes you have to fiddle with settings; it doesn't connect as automatically as my Mac laptop does.
but it is quite handy.
