iPod Touch? Or is there another option...?

[emzy]

So I'm wanting an iPod touch to be able to play with the wifi - check my emails, use online dictionaries, play on facebook and youtube etc.

But are there any other options, like other makes of MP3 players, that will do the same job?

Or any wifi-enabled phones that would be cheaper than an iPod touch?

Failing that... does anyone know of any iPod Touches that are going cheap?

1st and 2nd generation iPod touches are very little money these days, In our local CEX store (They are online too nationwide as youre prolly aware Emz) they do them pretty cheap, Maybe even walk away with one for £100 in a very crisp condition.

Bah, I've walked past that shop loads of times in Sheffield, and never even glanced in!

What's the main differences between 1st / 2nd / 3rd generation iPods? Does it really make a big difference?

Emzy.

I have a fist generation 8GB ipod touch if yo wanted to PM me a 'sensible' offer after you've done some research

Basically, 1st gen are a bit fatter and don't have a speaker.
2nd Gen, a bit thinner with a tiny speaker.
3rd Gen ? No Idea !

Cheers. Andy.

Thanks for the offer Andy, but I think I'm after a 2nd / 3rd gen one... apparently the "3rd gen" 8gb ones aren't really 3rd gen or something...?

My friend just got a new free 8gb one with a phone contract and might sell me that...

Or I've seen a 32gb one for £188 online... is that a good price?

Where on earth did you see the 32gb for that .

Ive got the 2nd gen touch , i purchased it in the Apple shop nearly 2 years back .

It was out in this country for a while but its nice and thin , never use the speaker though.
