You think the iPod touch is more than a toy? Srsly?

Yes (Srsly), I use it a lot for communication, maps, emails, checking reviews, booking reservations, etc. I'm on the go a lot and having this thing has made my life much simpler. Not to mention I've managed to hit much better restaurants, bars, etc when I am in an unfamiliar part of the city. I don't use it for playing games. I have a Windows Mobile phone, but it is older and the browser and processor speed makes it very difficult to use, but I broadcast the internet I get through it to WiFi so I can use internet on my Touch anywhere I can get a cell signal.
 
good luck?

thanks. I actually love my current WinMo phone, htc touch, but it doesn't have wifi. So I'm kinda getting forced into the touch diamond. And now hopefully apple will let JaJah release there phone/text app for the iPod touch. Then I could absolutely have the best of both worlds.

I currently have the HTC Mogul and I like it, but it's sloooooow. I think I tried to do too much modification to it and even after I restored it back to orginal, it's still slow. I'm waiting for the Pre to release. I may switch providers this summer depending on the big 3 phones being release. It will be interesting to compare the G2, Palm Pre, and the new iPhone.
 
What I wanna see it the glass from the front having the same contours as the current model and going round the whole of the device without one joint mark. I know this is impossible, however, I would love it

The mogul IS slow, no offense. I am keeping my eye on the Pre as well as the rumored "whitestone" htc's touch hd in a sprint flavor. That will be an amazing device. Especially since the rumor says it will be on WiMax!

So it's a glorified toy, not a tool. It's a gadget. After all it is the "funnest" iPod ever.

this is all getting off topic

May I request a whiter iPod, a colder colored one, on a black background? Thanks

my computer is at school right now, it's my indep. project

should have it back by this week, otherwise, i'll make another color when i'm bored & have nothing to do.

but, i'm sure there will be something else to come.
 
I like the white touch more than the (red). I like black the best on the front though. Any color on the back would look cool.
 
Making the iPod touch in different colors (white, black, RED [really?], etc...) would ruin Apple's look. When a person walks into the Apple Retail Store, they see a clean white shop, with simple wood fixtures, and everywhere they look is the gorgeous aluminum and black. Having multiple colors would make the store feel extremely trashy.

aluminum is apple's problem.

it used to be always black & white. Those old big imacs started to come in different colors, and now they have chromatic ipod nanos and shuffles. in my opinion, they should have never discontinued the white ipods, and never started with the silver, even though all ipods (except for touch) have metal fronts.

They should only have black and white.
 
Aren't Apple moving away from the white look of the iPod. Look at the current iPod line, not a white one in sight.
 
The red one isn't a Product Red concept, its obviously another U2 edition ipod:p
 
In my opinion, they all look terrible. They make it look like a little toy instead of a high powered gadget. In fact, if the Touch only came in colors like this, I wouldn't have purchased one because I'd feel like a middle school girl pulling it out in public. Just like others have said, you can't change the front to any color besides black. The back casing however could be different colors and I think that would look good. I would prefer more metallic colors than the ones you have chosen though.

the ipod touch is a toy. dont go dissin peoples photoshop work when you cant do squat in photo shop

The iPod touch is far more than a toy (if you think that's all it is, why buy one?) and honestly, do you have any idea what he can or can't do with Photoshop? :rolleyes:

That's your opinion, but if Apple kept Black and White things would start to get boring. iPod nanos and shuffles have always been in color, they appeal to a younger demographic as well as the regular adult crowd. Right now it's the only line that gets color and I don't see chromatic colors for iPhones/Touches any time soon.

Also what's wrong with Aluminum? It's more sturdy, and lasts longer than white or black plastic. And in my opinion along with many others, Aluminum is more appealing than just white and black. They are mixing Alu with Black lately which looks good ( i.e. New iMacs, Macbooks )
 
They look hideous... It's not that I don't like colors but the way you render it just doesn't look all that sleek. Maybe the back would look great with colors but the front should stay black.
 
ugh, sorry but i kinda lost interest in this

srry for not responding to anyone for a while, i havent logged in for like 2 months.

white and black are my fav. colors, so it's just my opinion (I'm boring right). I think aluminum is too boring, like something dell or hp would use, but i feel that crisp white appeals to a younger crowd. As long as the white does not turn beige or cream, its all good for me. Aluminum appeals to my mom, and thats a bad thing.. lol jk.
