iPod Touch - What do I need to know?
Hopefully getting a 32GB iPod Touch next week with a new phone contract, and with the exception of a quick look at Pete's a while ago I don't know a whole lot about them. Is there anything special I need to know about them? How about apps, are there any I need to get to make everything easier/better? It's my first new MP3 player in about 4-5 years so I'm a little out of touch

Out of touch
 *Ba Dum Dum Tsch*Not much to know, they work really great, you should pick it up pretty easy! The 32Gb version is a much more pallattable size for an mp3 player too, enjoy . Still i'd rather have more space for music myself over the GUI, i've already ran out of room on my age old 30gb iPoodle, looking at getting a classic now...

Cool
I don't really know of any apps per say. I keep my music in iTunes because the iPod is essentially iTunes on the go. So I keep all my ratings, playlists, play counts and such sync'd between the two. I also sync my calendar via iCal, my photos via iPhoto and such. Bookmarks are sync'd to Safari, but I use Firefox and haven't bothered looking up a way around that. I know Facebook has a custom iPhone site which works nicely on the device, as do Google. I could recommend a good video conversion program but its Mac only called VisualHub.

 Lynnie is also getting a new phone soon and she'll be getting an 80GB Classic as her free gift, which will be great if we go anywhere anywhere and need lots of music Quote:

You'll be wanting iTunes (because the iTouch won't work with anything other than iTunes, because Apple are nice like that) which means by default, if you're on Windows you'll be having Quicktime and Safari whether you like it or not.
Past that, nothing really, iTunes does everything you'll need.

There's alternatives to iTunes from what I can see, but I already have it installed and I don't mind it so much, so I may just stick with it

MediaMonkey is also far far better at syncing than iTunes ever will be for a whole host of reasons i'll go in to if you care I used to be a big iTunes iPod user, because it was decent at what it did, but MediaMonkey does everything iTunes does, and more and a whole lot better Its the only major reason i don't need a bigger iPod right now thanks to its awesome syncing feature list, and and big catologue of plugins Davey if you get an iPod i beg you to give MediaMonkey a good try
