if you were looking for an mp3 or mp4 player, look no further! don't even waste your money on a silly samsung or a dull zen. look to the vibrant, entertaining and always perfect ipod touch!

Pros: Best mp4 player in the market to date! best interface, it's really too simple to use! even my 5 year old rother can use it. and the added feature of wifi ..... i can't tell you how many songs i've bought off the itunes wifi music store! and the best part ..... I own one!

Cons: there are no cons!

I've never been a fan of any contraption that Apple bring out, but this is a neat little piece of kit. It's so simple to use and not too unreasonably priced either.

Pros: Touch screen is great. Good sound quality. Capacity is spot on for your average Joe

Cons: Seems a little fragile when docked into an iPod clock radio

I love my iPod Touch. I had a first-gen iPhone and broke it, and thought, "ah well, I'll just wait till the 3G iPhone comes out" but within a couple of weeks I was fidgety and twitchy as I sat on public transport realising I had nothing to do except watch smelly people and school kids get on and off the bus. With the iPod Touch I can reclaim an hour and a half of my day that would otherwise be truly wasted to catch up with some TV that I would otherwise not have time to watch. Coupled with an ElGato EyeTV on my Mac that "tapes" shows I miss in prime time, I can watch em on the way to work, along with ABC TV podcasts of shows like the Gruen Transfer, 7:30 Report and Lateline. Plus the stuff I've ripped off DVD or BitTorrented and then converted for iPod watching using VisualHub. The whole system just works way better than any other device I've ever owned. Of course, I wish Apple made it as easy to rip DVDs as it is to rip CDs in iTunes (and for sure, the original success of the iPod was largely to do with how easy it was to rip CDs in iTunes) but this isn't exactly their fault considering the copy protection issues involved.

Pros: Plays video well. Really really really well.

Cons: Pricey, of course...

How'd you break your iPhone?

Through physical damage or bricking?

As far as I know, any bricked iPhone can be un-bricked.

Best in its class and in a class of its own!

Pros: - Amazing screen (esp. for video)
- Fluid, intuitive GUI
- Internet connectivity extremely useful -- ability to quickly check e-mail, RSS feeds, news, weather and more in mere seconds! No computer-booting involved
- Also the usual pros as listed by everyone else (e.g. incredibly thin at 8mm)

Cons: - Average sound quality -- but acceptable as a DAP
- Chrome-finished back is easily scratched -- but I can live with that
- Price is still daunting, esp. for the 32GB model
Maps function not practical enough -- it relies on Wi-Fi in Aus! What do you expect

Right now, I'm deciding whether to get either an iPod Touch 16 GB 2nd Generation, iPod Nano 16 GB 4th Generation or a Zune 80.
The Zune isn't available in Aus.. The Touch is really expensive and the only downside is no radio and the Nano isn't that great for videos, so which should I get?

Pros: - Beautiful big screen for amazing video and picture viewing
- Touch screen
- Internet via Wi-Fi
- Neat features (e.g. Genius, YouTube, etc.)

Cons: - No radio
- Too pricey for the amount of space
- Fragile
- Back is scratched easily (but you can just get a case)
