£35 per month. Minimum contract of 18 months. The iPhone is a heavy investment at over £400 a year. For a one off payment of about £165 you can have almost all the features of an iPhone with the brillant iPod Touch. In my opinion, the 8G Touch wins hands down.
The easy to use mobile video and music player allow you to surf the web in WiFi hotspots, play games while on the tube and subscribe to apps from the iStore. The core use is still as an MP4 and the sound and video quality are both excellent, however, I would recommend investing in BOSE earphones and iPod dock for even greater sound quality. If you run, this is not the MP3/4 for you - it's too big to run with, even when using the arm band. Get a 3rd gen Nano - they fit great inside all Nike running short and trousers.
The touch screen is easy to use and works best when you flip the screen on its side, this allows you to read and type better. When on the web, some sites are difficult to read, however, this is generally because the site doesn't have a mobile version.
Like all Apple products, the look and design is very stylish and contemporary. If you don;t buy a cover, the silver back will scratch, however, the screen is very durable. I've had a number of iPods and no screen has ever been damaged despite dropping them regularly.
I think the Touch is great value and is a great buy. I'd highly recommend it.
