I'll give you the same opinion I gave Elise (who has not gotten one yet, as far as I know). I have one and I never use any of the cool functions, because unless you have access to wireless wherever you go, you can't email or web browse or use many of the apps. And if you're at home, you could use your PC much more easily. Now that I have a smart phone, literally all I use the Touch for is music. If you got the iPhone, then you'd have the data plan so you could do everything. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you just have an expensive MP3 player. Unless the new generation is somehow awesomer--I believe it has a camera. But you already have a digital camera. My vote would be for the iPhone, if that's an option. ~Kate-h
