I have had my iPod Touch since launch, it is still in great condition (granted I try to keep it that way). In terms of Apps, you can either wait for the 2.0 software (a 9.99$ purchase around the end of this month) or jailbreak it and install apps.

Ive always wondered how long the touch battery last? Before it just dies and you have to replace your Touch

I've had mine since launch. Use it every single day. Have dropped it over 5 times (concrete as well as indoors) and not one single scratch on the screen (thought bezel and back is dented). All the buttons still work like the first day i got it.

i've had mine for a year on September 25th 2008, and currently I can't see a noticebale difference or decline in battery performance.

Fantastic!!!

Yes, the chrome back is "sensitive" to scratches. I absolutely want a cover very soon.

Oh well If the touch can last a few years while still having decent battery life I'm happy

Should still be in perfect shape. Sept 2008 hasn't even gotten here yet

The device is pretty heavy-


so, i've dropped it a couple times, and twice its landed on a corner with the anodized aluminum (around the screen), and basically smashed it in a bit. So avoid dropping it there.

The screen itself is very durable, first touch only had a few minor scratches (tiny) and could only see them in very bright reflections. Second touch's (first had dead pixels all over, non in second, 8 months later) screen is still perfect

The brushed back will look like crap (unless you put a case on it) no matter what you try to do, after about.... 10 minutes.
