I have an itouch, it's an amazing bit of kit.
The UI is so easy, my 5 year old picked it up in seconds and plays with it regularly.
The standard headphones are woefully bad though, as they are on all ipods.
Do yourself a favour and buy better ones immediately ( I paid £70 for Shure 210's, but JVC make goods ones for £45, see this month's T3 mag).
Seriously, don't even try the standard ones, just bin them.:Flush:
You can download TV programmes such as LOST etc., from itunes.
Films are bit more of a pain, as itunes UK doesn't offer the movie rental option than itunes USA does, yet.
They plan to introduce it this year though.
You can transfer DVD's onto your ipod, but it's a bit of a pain.
You have to download third party software and do lots of conversion 'stuff'.
I'm happy with the music and music videos though.
I'm actually thinking of buying a 32gb one, and giving my 8gb one to my daughter.
Apart from the earphones, the only criticism I would give is the lack of manual graphic equaliser.
It has loads of presets (rock,classic,pop etc.etc.), but none sound
quite like I want them to.
Here'a a photo of mine resplendent in it's 'iskins' cover.
I searched high and low for a decent cover, the iskins one is superb.
