Census.... What is the average age of itouch users?

[efedor]

So I get a feeling that the average age is about 16-24.... But I'm 37 so Am I too old to be enjoying the itouch?

[-Dark Angel-]

Hmmm, mesa think its 13-25 and I'm just a little over that margin, 27.

[ScottFitz]

Haha, I"m 46.

[nakile]

I don't think any type of tech product has an "age group."

[nintapple]

I don't think any type of tech product has an "age group."

i think all tech products have a general age group of under 40.

[efedor]

Of couse they have an age target all you have to do is simply look at the advertisements and it gives you an idea, ipods are for YOUNG people not older males... yes I feel that males are the majority of the owners.

[PMB]

17, but i plan to have my IPT until it isnt supported anymore, or until verizon gets the Iphone...

[nintapple]

its battery is horrible enough brand new, you sure you're going to make it last that long? i guess you could do battery replacement ($$)

[Resist]

49

[rascal2u]

I'll be 49 in 32 minutes, and I'm playing Mass Effect tonite. I don't envy you kids who obsess over jailbreaks and SDK's .

You guys better stop staring at your ipt and start changing your world;)

Other than that...I love my ipt!

You're a good man...it's a pleasure to share this Tuesday night thread with you. May your girlfriends be kind and your cpu's always overclock;)

[Spizzo]

...it's a pleasure to share this Tuesday night thread with you.
Thanks.... but you should be out partying in the old town. Or is that tomorrow night?:D

[rascal2u]

Thanks.... but you should be out partying in the old town. Or is that tomorrow night?:D

Tomorrow night...hmmnn...I'm thinking an act of civil disobedience...(putting that on my calendar app)

If that doesn't work out, my girlfriend could always distract me, lol

[Dikkers]

24, when i showed my grandfather the IPT, he said "boy, you know my first music player, you had to wind up!"

[zirkle2007]

19 here. I think it has a lot to do with who has the money to waste on one...and yes I mean waste...how many of us actually needed it? :p

[Impulse29]

19 here. I think it has a lot to do with who has the money to waste on one...and yes I mean waste...how many of us actually needed it? :p

I for one needed it... I use it mostly for mail, address book, notes and calendar. It keeps my school work, and when I work for the school nicely organized. I very rarely listen to music on it, or watch video, however I'm very happy that it has those capabilities.

As for age, put in one vote for 20, and two for 60.

[swiftaw]

I have one, I'm 30.
My dad has one, he's 55

Not trying to start anything, but by needed I mean like we would have died if we didn't get it. I can justify why I got mine, but really could have done without it if I couldn't have afforded it.

[elitexero]

20

[Iscariot]

The touch is as ageless as a piece of art.

Just like me.

[hierobryan]

got mine for my 25th birthday. i already had a perfectly fine 5th gen 30GB ipod...but i reeeeeally needed a new toy to play with. i sold the 30GB to my little brother for $50..so we both win!:p

[ynotds]

Approaching 61 and it's been a long time since and hopefully will be a long time till I need/ed anything more.

The proprietor of my main client has one and is around 40.

Chatted to a skater who couldn't have been 18 on a tram because we both had one.

All 16Gb and male.

[asrmatt]

30...!

:eek: I realized only with this thread that I am OLD!!!

[iDAG]

I am 16 and my dad who also has one is 45 I think...

[RobertMidd]

I am 39.

[marcellux]

I'm 51 and don't go nowhere without my ipod touch ( fav trackts at the moment are from Vampire Weekend)

[Nexxus]

Well, I'm 56 and own a mini, classic 160gb and a touch.
Technology knows no upper age limits. When people I know
want to know about the latest and greatest gadget they come
to me. BTW I just bought a new PSP slim/lite and 6 games 2 weeks ago and
I love playing video games. An ageist attitude will limit you from experiencing so many wonderful things in life when you are older.

[big-blue-wolf]

42 - and if any whippersnapper says I'm too old for an iPod touch, they'll get a slap. :eek:

The touch goes nicely with my PSP, PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii and don't forget my two iMacs, Samsung laptop and iPod Photo :p

[Renator]

66 here and I'm an unabashed "gadget" freak. Love the iPT. I bought the 16gig version. It holds my entire audio collection including "ripped" 33 1/3s. My Touch replaces a Palm T/X. I've used Palms for about 20 years. Now I have something that works seamlessly with iCal, Address, Mail and holds my tunes.

[D1G1T4L]

33

[scotty96LSC]

49 Here. Who is figuring out this average?

[britton45]

I am 45

[efedor]

I dont mean to sound like an old man but I think we can all agree that there are VERY few things out there that can entertain such a wide range of years starting from the user at 16 years and going as far as 60! very few things in life can provide us with this kind of age gap. The only thing that I think can come close is maybe sex and driving! We payed 300-400 dls so we better get out entertainment out of it... I hate the fact that apple shows It's greediness but boy do they know how to build nice toys...ENJOY.

[aft]

i'm 26, my bother is 30 and my mom is 53, we all love ours.

[IgnatiusTheKing]

33

Seems like most of the people that own a touch and post on these forums are over 30.

[IgnatiusTheKing]

Based solely on this (very scientific) thread, the average age of the iPod touch owner is 38.2.

[Barbariska]

I am 38, and I am female. IPT is not my first, I had Video IPOD for 2 years.

[jasonmac21]

I'm 22. My dad has one and he's about 50

[mvaj92]

I'm 15, going to be 16 in April. A lot of kids at my school got them for Christmas, ranging from 14-18

[Windleaf2]

60+ with :

4gig nano
80 gig classic
16 gig touch

Ha, I left my kids way behind. My next toy will be the 24" imac and yes I 'am a geek, one with toys.

[skimboarder]

16 here, and saw another guy with one about 17-18,( i'm in France), everyone here thinks it's an iphone:D

[-Dark Angel-]

Ok....seems I was wrong with the age, I guess I should have thought about the average user who comes to read this site, myspace helps take away the younger one it seems :D

[panto]

I'm 18 and one of my friends also has one and he's 19 both 16gb, it's the coolest iPod ever I used to have a 5G 30GB and before that a 4GB mini, the only bad thing is that there aren't many wifi spots in Chile... but then again all I really need is my house, college and starbucks...

[Anderzander]

36 and my wife has one - she's 43

[dellavoce]

I'm going to be 30 in a couple of months. My 57 year old dad would like to get one though. And my 17 year old brother isn't really impressed by it.

[The Red Menace]

32

[AlphaBob]

I am 50 and bought my Touch within a week of their coming out.

I doubt I am typical of my age group as I have always been an early adopter techie. (I've had hi-def TVs for year, computers outnumber the number of people in my home by 2 to 1). And although not a twitch-junkie like some of the younger set, I can hold my own on most first person shooters.

In fact, my kids, age 16 and 10, don't even own an iPod, although they do own other lower-cost mp3 players. I just suspect that if they had one, it would be lost within the first month.

Oh yes, this was my 3rd iPod. The other two are in cars.

[LizKat]

Old enough that I learned to read long, long before I ever saw a television set.

The first time I saw a TV was when the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was broadcast in all its [tedious....expensive] splendid, albeit black and white, display of a timeless ritual.

So... I'm as old as the hills but not quite as old as the Queen.

[BassistKing1]

got mine when i was 15, and i just turned 16 this january :)

[Yvan256]

I'm 35, bought my iPod touch about two weeks ago. I still prefer my iPod shuffle for "just playing music" though, it has the best iPod interface ever. :cool:

[iMpathetic]

13, and it is a most frick-tacular piece of technology!

[JoeJoe]

I'm 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fricken old man.

[David G.]

I am 17, but I bought it when I was 16.

[Brianstorm91]

Seventeen.

[Gondry]

38, bought mine the day it was released, mostly for its video cabability and the wifi internet and email. Beats lugging a laptop around to check an email.

The music and now flytunes are added bonuses, its by the far the best gadget I've owned. I much prefer it to my iphone:eek:

[coreanomac]

28

[Jakintosh™]

Ha i think high school kids has the biggest following. like i know 30 kids that have one in my grade. and theres only 60 kids in my grade. but my school is a tech school full of nerds. haha idk but it seems like my home school has a lot of kids with them too...

[gfer]

42 here

[natezire71]

HA, I'm lucky number 14.....second youngest post in this topic, heck yeah


But really, the ipod touch just rocks. Theres nothing you can't do with it!! (except feed your dog, clean the dishes, stop global warming, etc) Ok, i take that back, theres a TON of stuff you can't do with it, but still, its awesome!! I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!!!!!!!! I'm rocking it with a Griffin Reflect case also. Peace:)

[Mikey B]

Just turned 32 a week ago. Startin to feel like an old man...

[Xavier]

im 18, and loving my touch

[mikelcroft]

23

[dawnraid]

Im 16 and have an 8gb

[fridgeymonster3]

got it as a gift at 23

[martek54]

53 year old female here! Love my gadgets and husband has no idea how to use any of them!!

[rsm5068]

So I get a feeling that the average age is about 16-24.... But I'm 37 so Am I too old to be enjoying the itouch?

Why should how old you are matter? sexy is sexy is sexy no matter if you are 11 or 27 or 156. Be glad that you understand how to use an iTouch, unlike my parents who get lost anywhere after video poker on their PC.

[joeliethegoalie]

I'm 41 and bought it the day of the keynote (I was a young 40 then).

I figured everyone on this site was my age until the guy who wrote (or helped write, anyway) the original jailbreak program posted that he had to take a night off from working on the next version because he had to do his homework!

[archurban]

here 35. but I looks like 27. well, it's not joke. most people think I am under 30 anyway. this is good sign, huh? eat healthy food, exercise, wear stylish look clothes. that's all keeping me younger.

anyway I have 8 different ipod excepting ipod touch. of course I have ipt, iphone as well. why? I am freaking gadget crazy, collector. well, 99% is all apple stuff. it's worthy to invest my money. love mine.:)

[Mantronix]

I'm 36.

[hierobryan]

Why should how old you are matter? sexy is sexy is sexy no matter if you are 11 or 27 or 156.

i will differ on that one.

if what you find sexy now as a 50 year old is the same thing you found sexy as a 12 year old, you are probably a pedophile.

[totheridentity1]

Im only thirteen... I think I may be the youngest hear!

[cheekybobcat]

Im 16 but most people I have seen who have it are middle school to high school ages. However, from this thread, it seems tons of other ages are enjoying the iPod Touch.

I know my dad would never be able to figure out how to use the iPod Touch though..

[duve]

i guess I'm the dean here. 75 years young and still don't have enough toys! Mac user since 1984 - 512k b&w 9" screen, original Apple Laserwriter. Macwrite, Macdraw and Macpaint where the included programs. That's how I started. Many Macs and printers since and tons of software. Over the years Apple has been the inovator and everyone else has followed. Now that Macs can run both Mac OS and Windows, no reason to buy anything else!

[starprincess8]

I am 23 and got it for my 23rd birthday! I love my iPod Touch! :p

[pusman83]

56 for my mom.

[lpfearn]

Hitting the big 50 in May. Still trying (in little ways) to stretch my brain and keep up!

[herve5]

otherwise, 48.

[pizz]

Everyone enjoys music/movies, whatever it is they listen to no matter what age. Plus everyone loves gadgets. I'm 35. I know ppl that have ipods that are 15 to 55. In the older age group, they're especially big with the commuting crowd. Like myself;)

[gottabeandrew]

I'm 17. My mam and dad who are both 30 also have one each.

[gottabeandrew]

Just joking.:D My mams 48 and my dads 51 and neither of them have ipod touches. Did i get you though?:)

Note: This was only a double post to maximise the effect of people seeing it.

[mgrad92]

... in a coupla weeks, anyway.

[Nick.]

14:)

[pilvlp]

24, when i showed my grandfather the IPT, he said "boy, you know my first music player, you had to wind up!"

Haha. I'm 18.

[delude]

I'm 15:)

[shoelessone]

22 :)

I really want to buy my GF an iPod Touch, she doesn't have a laptop and I think it'd be perfect for her :).

Not that that has anything to do with the topic. I'm just sayin'.

[skir0987]

I'm 13 and I know of at least 5 other kids in my grade who have one and love it... :D

Shep

[pab277]

im 15 turning 16 this year.

[dukebound85]

[BrownManUPS]

I'm 19 ... bought it just as a replacement to my old iPod
