    apple refurbs are usually pretty good. I'm using a 30 gig 4th gen ipod I bought refurbished and it's still working, about 1.75 years later. As for the reason that it had to be refurbished already?? That's a different story.

    I saw the ipod touch for the first time the other day. Holy crap those things are thin! I'm seriously impressed. I wish I didn't hate apple and itunes so much

    Got a refurb classic for daughter - it was just fine

    Apple takes back almost anything and gives you a new one. This includes phones that may be malfunctioning due to software, stupid user, etc. I assume these all come back as refurbs. I got a refurb ipod which is fine, battery died after about 3 years though.

    All the iPods I've bought have been refurbs and each one has been in pristine condition and 100% functional.

    But why would you get the iTouch when you can get the iPhone for about the same (up front) cost?

    My dad always get referb items from Apple. They are cheaper and work just as good as new ones. We have never been burned by Apple.

    This is Rev 1 only not 2. I'd would have jump on one too but I'd rather get the Rev 2...but too beacoup. Maybe I can win one here! LOL

    I bought 2 video ipods about 6 months ago, haven't had any problems with them. Since they went to flash memory ipods have become a lot more reliable. and remember just because its a refurb doesn't mean it wasn't just used for a few days and then returned when buyer decided he wanted something else. apple isn't allowed to sell returned items as new, they have to put the refurb name on it.

    #6 Agree all the refurbs from apple have been pristine. the reason i dont go with the iphone is at& t's coverage sucks.

    i'm gonna wait for the 64 gig version to be 200 it shouldn't be too long.
    #14   schmoe90 - Posted 1:52 pm PST 11/18/08 (466 Posts)
    You seriously think the 64gig'll be in any way competitive with other MP3 players? Look at the prices of Apple products over the years - you always seem to pay 40 - 100% extra for an i<anything>.
    #15   darktideryezing - Posted 1:59 pm PST 11/18/08 (496 Posts)
    #14 because owning an i<anything> gets you in on the ground floor of the social cult that apple is trying to make. "M$ is so ridiculous, and windows is crappy" then why did Microsoft almost drive Apple out of existence?

    still expensive for a piece of shit.
    #17   jlayman920 - Posted 3:55 pm PST 11/18/08 (198 Posts)
    #6 because after purchasing the touch you don't have to pay $70 per month to use it.

    ipod touch free wifi usage Smile

    #6, because I like my small clamshell phone and awesome/cheap monthly contract on another carrier and because AT&T service doesn't work in my area.

    Please note that this is the 1st gen that does not have outside speaker - while only 1st gen. can be jail-broken. I would go for it.
