So, I might be buying an iTouch. Can people who own an iTouch or have experience with an iTouch, tell me the Pro's and Con's on buying one?

On iTunes, there's two categories: free apps and paid ones. And yes, it is worth it. I have one and I'm loving it. EDIT: I misinterpreted your question. Yes, you can get em from other places, but I can't disclose that info here.

Very worth it. But make sure you buy the ones with lots of gigs. It is basically a computer on hand. (games, internet, music, videos and a whole lot more)

First off, it's an iPod Touch. You don't call it an iClassic, iNano, etc Huge pet peeve :< You can't get free apps other than from iTunes unless if you jailbreak it; which is illegal. The only major downside is the battery life when you frist get it. What I mean by this is that you'll be using all the time so you can't afford to miss a night's charge. Other than that... I love mine. The biggest pro for me is music + safari at the same time.

Which is downloading apps that you need to pay for for free. No one is allowed to discuss that here.

Oh snap, it is against the rules to ask for free stuff X.x

Try sending your iPod into Apple with a jailbreak. :/ And obviously you know enough about it, so dont go all mini mod on me

Bodysnatchers you seem to like your iPod Touch a lot, I'm assuming you have covers and stuff for it? How do you protect the back from scratching up? Do you use a plastic metal or rubber cover cover it?
