[QUOTE="Kaioshoryuken1, post: 1343846, member: 229669"] I agree that Apple has made significant strides with the iPod Touch 4 vs the first generation. When only the 8GB and 16GB were available, I received a 16GB for my birthday and thought it was the greatest thing around, shortly after they were released. If I listened to strictly music, and didn't watch videos, kept app usage to a minimum, then my battery life was about 5-6 hours, and between work and school eating up most of the time in the day, it suit my lifestyle just fine. However, then the 2nd generation, the 3rd gen, and then the 4th gen were released as time passed. I realized that my iPod lacked the two cameras, the internal music speaker, the external volume buttons, the microphone, and the retina display. My battery life was also inferior. These things became such a part of the iPod Touch's identity that having a 1st gen felt incredibly lacking, though it did the job excellently as far as playing and storing music went. My parents purchased a 32GB 4th gen for my birthday present last year and because I didn't have my ipod backed up, the apple store associate allowed us to take care of the backing up at home and return with the old ipod and the new receipt to do the trade in program. That was excellent service, generally they only allow you trade it in at the time of transaction. I've had excellent luck with this iPod touch so far, a year later. No breakage, complete reliability, does everything I wanted and more. 4th generation, until we get something new is definitely the way to go! Edit: Also, I'd like to add that I really love your user avatar, Rob. It's awesome. [/QUOTE]
