I love that it's NOT a phone. I love that I have internet access or wifi when I want it, not when others want me to have it.

I love that I have our family's various calendars, email, various apps and internet access when I want to sit down for a coffee while I'm on the go. I love that it has my dropbox, my evernotes, my instapaper and my xmarks and that things are completely sync-able. I love that I can sit down and show my sons something on wikipedia because they're curious about something, and NOT have a friggin' monthly fee or dataplan. It's my dayplanner, organizer, information booth, entertainment system, all in one.

I love that I can let my sons play a game or watch a movie or listen to music or an audiobook or write notes or whatever while we're waiting for something - my husband and I suddenly have time to talk together without needing to get a ds or some other handheld game gadget. I love that I can listen to university podcasts to follow what I want because I am interested, and don't have to physically travel to be there. I can learn while I'm weeding the garden, for all I care.

I love how it's sleek and easy on the eye and easy to use.

I love my iPod. Dearly.

What she said.
 
I like the Music interface

I agree with everyone else about using it as a PDA, media hub, and light web and e-mail device. That's all great. But I don't know about these people complaining about the music/video interface on the iPod Touch. I like that I can rearrange and customize how I want to browse, by artist, album, podcast, what-have-you and then just tap a letter or fly by things by scrolling. It's so much better than that circle motion on the clickwheel, especially if you filled a 32 Gig with music.
I'll admit at first I was pretty annoyed having to pull the thing out of my pocket every time I wanted to pause or skip but the double click of the home button is good enough. I went further and got the earphones w/ mic and remote when those came out and I know that paying for the convenience sounds dumb but the remote is awesome. I instinctively reach for the clicker on any headphones I'm wearing and the mic turns my ipod into a little memo recorder. Great web surfer, PDA, and iPod in my opinion.

Is there some trick to scrolling the song list? I can't seem to do it without accidently clicking on a song title. That means if I'm listening to a song and I try to scroll the song titles, invariably I end up selecting another song by mistake. It's irritating and as a result I can't use the scroll function at all.

Give me the click wheel any day over the touch. Although I have to say that the click wheel response on my Classic is much worse than on my original 2G iPod.

If your iPod Touch is jailbroken, I highly suggest you (read: do it now ASAP) to download PocketTouch off of Cydia.

I, too, hate having to take the iPod Touch out of my pocket everytime I want to switch songs. So, I just make a playlist of the songs I want to hear, and play one. Click on to PocketTouch, and side-swipe (left or right) to the next song on shuffle.

Amazing. I want to yell its amazing-ness off of a snow-capped mountain.

Pocket Photos

I keep photos from all of my vacations and family events on it and can look at them any time I want. I know this sounds sappy, but I remember the vacations and events better and I can show off my family very easily!
 
Touch screen, wireless features, apps, and slimness. It's the ripped younger brother of the iPhone. The wireless is great though love useing the internet, and with the Bluetooth activated I expect to see even more innovations for it to come.
