Thinking about getting one but dont really know if they have any issues or problems. Would ideally be used for music, vids, wifi but can it be used for sat nav. What is the onscreen keyboard like?

Thanks

I love my iPod Touch, it is a brilliant piece of gadgetry.

From your list: It is great for music, excellent for videos, wifi and internet browsing it great, keyboard is okay once you get used to it. You can't really use it for SatNav as it doesn't have GPS and you are not connected to the internet all the time (only in a WiFi area) to use something like googlemaps.

It's poo coz it's an Apple product, you're buying into the hype, mine didn't work so I chucked it out after a week. iTunes is crap, you can't just drag music onto it, there are far better players out there and the audio quality is also crap.

Thought I'd jump in and say the above before the naysayers got a chance to

Seriously though, I've had a play with a Touch and they aren't too bad. If there was a 64GB model then I'd probably have one by now, as I'd want to replace my 60GB 4th Gen iPod with it, but as 32GB is the largest, I'm still holding off (Personally I really want a 64GB iPhone 3G, as that would give me a new phone and iPod, with the capacity I want, in one package).

As said by Steve, SatNav isn't really possible as it does not have GPS. You might be able to get basic location information if you're near wifi hotspots.

All very valid points

Capacity would be my concern. I've got a 160gb classic, and that's almost 2/3 full now (no video, just albumns). Couldn't cope with something that small...

I have the 8GB and think its a marvellous piece of kit, Its half full and I'm not sure what you fill a 32GB up with. I mean how many songs can you like ??
I've just put Dark Knight (the Batman film ) on mine and its a great picture could easily watch the whole film while on a long plane journey or similar.
Good for checking emails on the move as well.

I've got one and it is FANTASTIC. I really had to think long and hard over the Touch vs a 160Gig.

When I actually looked at how I listen to music, I discovered that I'm very habitual. I only listen to a certain amount of albums at any one time, or selected songs of various albums.

This is where ITunes manages my FULL library. The Touch is just a device for playing back my "mood" selections

Aside from the few times I actually listen to my pod on headphones, I listen to it mostly in the car - about 1.5hrs per day.....

The "small" capacity works fine for me.

The Wifi and web browsing is good, but IMHO it really needs a download option (save link/target as).

Aside from that, the sync options to iCal (mac).

It's just so much more than "just" an MP3 player.
By no means is it the answer to all the gadgets, but it is a great mp3 player that also does some very cool stuff.
