Open Question: Is the iPod Touch 8g large enough?
December 7, 2009
Despite thinking that Apple is the devil company, I’m caving and getting an iPod Touch because it does what I need a PDA to do. But I don’t know which size to choose. I won’t be storing songs, movies, or pictures but I will be downloading medical software (programs like ePocrates and Brenner’s Pharma flashcards), storing a couple of audio lectures here and there, and downloading various apps for personal use (can’t tell you which because I don’t know yet). Is the 8G large enough for this? There’s a huge price difference between the 8G and next smallest (32G), and I’m on a student budget … enough said?
Emma T: I’m in the U.S. We *used* to have 16GB, but Apple rolled out a new generation this summer and cut 16GB out entirely. It’s probably a marketing strategy since no one would buy the more expensive 32GB if they could get lesser-priced and reasonably-sized 16GB. Yet another reason why Apple is an awful company, but I won’t get on a soapbox here.
Thanks SavedByGrace: don’t take offense to me calling Apple “the devil company” or “awful” - maybe the iPod Touch will sway me? =P
