iPod Touch (2nd gen): To get or not to get?

[cyanide]

After a small price cut, a few extra gigabytes of storage and additional features, the current generation iPod Touch looks pretty damn sweet.

But is it really that sweet?

Ignoring the sweet usability UI, I'll list the major features:
1) It plays music, video and photos
2) Productivity tools such as browser, mail, contacts, calendar, notes, maps and stocks
3) Apps Store for extra stuff like a pdf reader, finance, fitness, news, sports updates, etc.
4) Games

I will not be using it primarily for 1 and 4, since I have better games and entertainment on my computer.

I will be using 2 and 3 often, but only when I'm not near my computer. My job involves me working on a computer.

Finally, it's not often I am alone, bored, and away from my computer at work or at home. When I am out, I am usually interacting with somebody. The only time I can think of using that device is when I'm bored, waiting for something, traveling, and away from my computer, which does happen, but not as often. Plus, I'm not sure how widespread free WiFi is. It's during those times that I would love to have a Touch, though.

So considering my "situation," for $230 (8 GB) or $300 (16 GB), is it worth getting?

And no, I don't want an iPhone because the pricing for the plans are ridiculous.

I'd lean towards it not being worth getting at this time since it doesn't sound like you'd really get a whole lot of use out of it; seems like you've got other gadgets/equipment taking care of those things for you.

Considering all the factors you have listed, I dont think it'll be worth getting for you since you doesn't seem to be in a situation where you would need/want to use them that often. You seem to be active most of the time and you might regret paying such a high price for it the minute you realised that you dont get in situations that makes you feel you want it as often as those situations that make you feel you do need it.

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't spoil myself with a gadget that's more redundant than useful. I'll wait and see what the 3rd generation has to offer, but I'll pass on this one for now.

Thanks for the feedback.
