iPod touch iPod Touch owners, are you planning to sell your iPod Touch for the iPad?

[leomac08]

i am planning to buy the 16GB 3G iPad and keep my 8GB ipt.

I will take the iPad to college, and long trips.....like vegas, school, vegas...

and the ipod touch will stay at home.....

meanwhile my ipod shuffle will be used more often and return back to me.

I'm keeping my iPT, as the iPad will be for book and newspaper reading mostly, with video podcasts and iTunes U filling the rest of it.

I can then have music and "useful" apps on the Touch: weather, stocks, yellow pages, etc, as well as traditional PDA stuff (which I don't keep on my phone).

Heavy duty days require heavy duty ipads.

Selling the iPod Touch? Sell the iPhone!

I am thinking about selling my iPhone and getting an iPad or a similar device from another company.

I don't like the iPhone and the only reason from buying a Touch instead was the lack of camera on the Touch. Frankly, the GPS sucks on the iPhone. For making phone calls, I always used my Nokia 6300. As I'm not on a contract, but on a British pay-as-you-go with free unlimited mobile internet included, I can just put the Sim card into another phone that I can use as a mobile modem.

Ironically, iTunes stopped me from listening to music, it's so annoying to use. The only advantage that I enjoy on the iPhone is listening to audiobooks and podcasts and downloading them. Otherwise, I could be happy with my basic mp3 players from Creative. I love the Zen Stone, for example. I don't use my Shuffle anymore. For jogging and driving, just get the Stone. Otherwise it's gonna be a Nokia phone for me with wifi, and an iPad. I already use a dedicated Garmin GPS, so that area is covered too.

What the release of the iPad will show us is that how overpriced the iPhone is, especially compared to the Touch.

I might even get a new Sony, Creative or Sansa music player. I really miss simplicity and decent battery life.

I honestly think the iPad will be a big faliure for Apple. The market is saturated with iPhone and iPod touch so another device that basically doesnt do anything that much different will probably tank.

Here's the thing- both form factors are completely software driven. What you can do with a large 10" screen will be totally different than what you can do with a small pocket screen.

To say the iPad is only a bigger iPod Touch is like saying an iPod Touch is only a clickwheel iPod with virtual controls.

That is why the iPad will succeed alongside the other products. Now whether you need extra functionality at the expense of mobility is another issue. But there will be pros and cons to each, and different usage and markets for both.

I'm not buying an iPad and i'm keeping my iPod Touch. I've yet to have a reason to buy the iPad, the one thing that pulled me in was the unlimited data for $30 monthly. but i'm going to buy a phone over the iPad.

Oh hells no I'm not selling my iPod Touch. Old as it may be.

I'm probably going to swap my Dell mini 9 with OSX for an iPad and my touch for a nano (4th or 5th gen). Keeping my Palm Pre (Sprint) for my phone, 3G-wifi router.

I want to sell my 1st gen iPod Touch (16gb) and my Nintendo DS (lite) and buy a 3rd gen iPod Touch (32gb). And I think we're getting the 32gb wifi iPad.
