It really depends on how you use the device. I kept my iPod Classic for years just because of how much music it would hold, but eventually my music collection outgrew it. Now I keep all my music and audiobooks on my laptop for those places where I don't have internet access, and use iCloud. I do have a 128 G iPhone and iPad so I can keep a reasonable collection of what I'm currently listening to.
My major concern with the new iTouch is that with the latest release of the iOS, Apple moved audiobooks from iTunes to iBooks, which means that I can no longer set up playlist for my audiobooks. This is a major issue for me since I don't want to have to do anything with the iTouch when I'm driving, I want it to automatically go to the next book. I have no plans to upgrade my current iTouch until this issue is resolved. |

It's been close to 3 years since the 5th generation touch was released in 2012. I purchased the scaled down 5th generation model without the rear camera when it was first available in May 2013. I mainly purchased it to listen to music while working out at the gym. The gym has wifi so I can listen to Pandora, Spotify, etc. I also use it while bike riding or jogging. So basically it's a workout tool for me. The only other time I use it is to play music on my Sony bluetooth speaker. All the other things like taking pictures, reading ebooks or browsing the web I can do on the much larger screen of my phone. Besides more powerful hardware nothing much has changed. My 5th generation does what I need it to do pefectly. No need for me to upgrade. The only downside is that the battery does not last as long as it use to but it last long enough. I'm a Andriod guy and this is my only Apple device. My wife has. Ipad mini 2 though. Check out the 5 vs 6 generation comparisons in the link.

Personally I have turned my larger Samsung S3 phone over to my wife and taken over her old Samsung Victory with a 4 inch screen. The 4 inch fits in my pocket much nicer. For browsing I have a small collection of computers, large and small. The smallest screen -about 12 inches. |

Got one. It's small indeed (especially compared to my nexus 6). First iOS devices for me.
I like the iPod itself, but really, i hate iTunes !! Silly stupid buggy software ! I knew we weren't going to be the best of friends, didn't though it would be that bad. I might fix the problem with just using google play / DS audio. ** sighs ** |

I'm looking for a cheap Android phone to keep in the car now. The Clip Zip is great for everything but driving. I want a larger screen when in a moving vehicle. |

But i'll have to maintain my mp3 library twice. Else, no dice on my NAS or android phone. Not that bad actually, when you're not trying to get you files out. Why specifically android ? Archos had some android media player (not sure if that's still the case). And it's archos, they usually are cheep. But media player is something they do well. Cowon probably still have some (non android), media player. Probably more expensive though. |
