i really do hate apple, but i really love my ipod touch.
let me straighten this out..
if there were no 3rd party apps/hacks and it only came with the stocks apple apps, I would not like it..
I wanted one because there was so many hacks for it, and it's an incredibly fast device. I just wanted to hack it and use it to it's fullest potential.
Since this is the most popular device out there, developers and companies chose the ipod touch as a device to focus on.
Yes I did consider a psp, cause you can hack those quite a bit as well, but I really wanted the multitouch and accelerometer.
If the ZuneHD had been out as long as the ipod touch and had just as many hackers doing stuff to it and apps to download, i may have got that. Only thing I hate about the zune HD is it has a smaller width screen, this REAAALLY takes a toll when trying to type.
Now 99.9% of the problems I've had so far were not with the ipod touch, but with itunes.. just like in this case.
ALL-IN-ALL apple makes it the iphone/ipod touch bad, hackers make it GOOD
