too many germs on ipod touches. though it is a nice system, I would prefer it without the touch feature.  all it does is make it more expensive so apple can get more money without really doing much.

I was also considering getting an ipod, whether it be a touch, or an ordinary, but the ipod classic has several music playback issues, the ipod firmware is going to be updated soon (which is actually a bad thing btw), and itunes sucks so much I can't believe more people complain about it.

As a music player, I currently have a Zune, but that also sucks because microsoft are so completely idiotic, they decided to make their own product not compatable with their own software.  installing zune on windows is a chore, and their is no way to sync it with the, better of most media applications, Windows media player.  the zune software is a cheap immitation of windows media player and only one third as functional, not to mention, slow, bulky, and refuses to read music tags properly.  The zune also offers games as of version 3.1 i believe, but they suck so much it's like we were living 30 years ago.  They work better as applications, but it's nothing like the ipod's ability to play games and make excellent use of applications.  so why do i still have a zune? -it's not an ipod!

lol without the touch? does that not mean you just dont want the whole system?

itunes is decent, not the best, but it works fine. The new iPod firmware fixed A LOT of things, and added some new features. 

I can not believe you have a Zune. It sucks soooo much crap its not even funny. 

I guess you are just against Apple? iPod touch is brilliant! there is a lot of pointless apps, but you are not forced to buy them. There is so many excellent apps, and none of them are ridiculously priced. I cant comment on the iPod Classic, as i dont have one. My friend has one, and he has never complained once. But as for the iPod Touch, i think it is amazing.
