I have an iPhone 4s that I'm basically using as an iPod right now (has no SIM card) and it's really slow. It crashed a lot when I browse things and zoom in. Some games can't even run on it, so it's basically just a music device for me. I don't plan on ever using it as a phone because I'm using a ZTE phone my parents got me for free at some booth in Cosco and it does what it's supposed to do.
So, I've been looking into the iPod Touch. The 6th gen cost $199.00 as a starting price, which, tbh, is pretty cheap compared to other Apple tech. I kinda wanna try out some iOS games because some of them do look fun, but it's mainly going to be a device for music.

Soooooo, does anyone here have one? Would you say it's worth buying one? Are you happy with your purchase?

i mean it works as it should but tbh you could probably get an android device for around the same price which could still do far more

iPhone 5S carrier unlocked is a lot cheaper, and it's got the same specs more or less as a iPod Touch 6th generation.

You need to keep in mind a few things about the iPod touch:

- no expandable memory
- no mobile internet connection

Basically, if you plan to buy it just for music, $200 for 16GB and no way to use streaming music services on the go is a little lame.

I was thinking about the same thing earlier, a toss up between getting a new ipod touch or just seeing if it's possiable to get my old 4th gen touch repaired after it got smashed.

Assuming that the thing is even fixable - The lcd and touch screen are a writeoff, but because I've got no idea what fell one it to break it it's possiable that the circuit board inside might have been damaged too, can't really check since I haven't been able to find the cord for it to give it a charge - then it'll cost ~50 or so to repair.

About a hour later I said fuck it after I realized why I stopped using it - My phone, a old ZTE Paragon pos, can play music just fine and as a bonus it has a lot higher storage capacity because microsd cards.

Decided that I'll just put that money towards a better phone to replace the cheap one I've got now.

If you don't require a portable hi-fi you can use pretty much any Anroid phone with decent audio jack or bluetooth 4 capabilities. I use my Galaxy S5 Neo just because I don't have to carry a ton of stuff around and it works fine with the Google Music player and the Sennheiser app.

If it gets cockblocked from using the latest update by apple then no,unless you want a mobile raspberry pi that will eventually get jailbroken since it will be stuck on a specific firmware that can't go any higher.Im not shure about android devices but they seem 1billion times better due to the better performance.

Ayeee, parent bought me the Touch as a gift. Now I don't have to worry about spending money lool.
So far, I'm liking it.
It's slim, and light. I don't need music streaming apps since I only listen to music from games, anime, etc.
For wifi, maybe I can purchase a portable hotspot.
But yeah, it's pretty good so far. Not sure how long a 1030 mAh battery will last me, but with a battery pack, I think it'd last me a day.

It's decent, and it has a A8 processor(same as iPhone 6)

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
