Do you want to be able to browse the WEB, Check email, and everything else the iPod touch can do? The iPod Touch is an iPhone without the phone and camera.

If you do not need any of that and just play music, stick with your Nano.

Most apps are pretty small, Music and video are what eat up the space.

Agreed with Baggss, pretty much every application I have on my iPhone is quite small. I have many installed and they really are not taking that much room at all. It's the music and videos.

Personally, I think it's the best portable 'anything' I've ever had and I've had MP3 players for donkey's years simply because I travelled for a living and wanted to carry a 'slice of home' with me.

I've also got many, many audiobooks and just about all my photos too. That said, I did buy the 32 Gb. The downside (and it's reasonable) is that when you start watching video/film, the battery takes a hammering.

All that said, I'm not too sure I'd swap if I were you - but much depends on what you envisage using it for.
