I just got a brief hands-on experience with it by borrowing it from my sis. I am not really a patron for Apple products, but after being disappointed with the sound quality of Samsung Galaxy S2, I'm considering on purchasing the new iPod Touch as my new PMP since a friend of mine who happens to know his stuff when it comes to all things audio recommended me to buy it if I'm going to us in ear monitors amp-less. I'll mainly be using it for music listening, watching videos, and occasional web surfing.


I am not the hardcore audiophile, but I do know that my Westone UM3X IEMs would be good enough for my ears. I've also been considering on getting an S3 instead, but I'm not to sure after all the gripes I had with my current handset. What I do know is that the S3 has a Wolfson sound card which probably is one of the major selling points for me; and the SD card slot is always a plus, but having two phones seems redundant. So Flood, should I get it or reconsider my choice? If you can recommend a product, please do so.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I've had my ipod touch for 5 years, and it's been great. I'm thinking of getting the new one myself.

Yay! I'm a troll!

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

If you're really wanting to get access to Apple's App Store, then sure.
If not, you're probably better off buying a cheaper brand.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

The Galaxy Player is cheaper than the Ipod Touch and is better in multiple different aspects. I've owned both and I have to say the Galaxy is far superior.

Is the sound quality better though? I can't find anything online regarding the Galay Player's SQ. SQ is my main priority.

If price doesn't matter and your looking for quality Ipod touch hands down never even thought other mp3s were capable of competing with it in terms of quality.
