Klocknov:
If I'm going for a touch screen on a mobile player I will go Cowon or Archos, any others no thanks.

mgz:
the samsung p3 isnt bad either

Reinvent:
Any particular reason you guys don't like the touch? I was going for the Zune at first, but I decided to get the Touch instead, and I don't regret it.

Xtras:
I like the touch just for how much compatible things there are for it, and how it is generally reliable and doesn't lag unless it is in prolonged use. Only thing is that it isn't quite as durable as I would have liked (scratches too easily even if you never drop it, had mine in my pocket with a few quarters and ended up with like 10 scratches).

But at the same time, I must digress slightly and say that I have come to prefer phones that have music capability over just dedicated music players (saves pocket space and it is just one less thing you need to put up with). Hence, I myself now use my G1 for all music purposes. It works based on Micro SD cards and I have it running on a 8 GB right now, although I do believe it supports 16 as well. Not enough for some more hardcore music listeners, but I have seen people store music in a Youtube profile as a playlist, and then you can just select that in the G1 and listen to it, since the G1 supports pretty much every Youtube feature (both are google after all).

Slykester:
I like the Apple SDK for iPhone/Touch. But yeah, that's all.

Touch 3G is hardly more than a refresh, not a new generation (very disappointing). When it became clear that Apple wasn't going to include a camera, my interest faded quickly. Although, OpenGL ES 2.0 support is nice.

Heck, the 8GB model is identical to the 2G spec. >_<

edit: I suppose it depends on what you use the Touch for. As a music/video player, it's doubtful you would notice a difference between the 2G/3G. As a pocket computer, you would absolutely notice the difference.
