I bought an Android bc I wanted a new iPod Touch...
So yeah, I've been wanting an updated iPod Touch since last year, but Apple passed on updating the hardware.
My eyes are not so good, so mainly I've been wanting a Touch with a bigger screen. Then I noticed the Samsung Players, which are basically Android versions of the iPod Touch. Basically, for about $200 I got a 40GB (8GB internal plus a 32GB microSD) player with 4" screen. A 5" version is also available, but the 4" has a better quality display.
It's pretty cool. In some ways it's better than the 4th gen Touch. The microSD slot for example, and the bigger screen is really nice. It also has vibration, and an FM radio, and GPS. Nice features. Android is also really nice -- I love how you can customize the UI. It's much better than iOS in that respect. Much, much better.
I miss the app selection on iOS of course, and honestly if Apple does release an improved Touch with a bigger screen (~4.3" would be awfully nice) I would consider going back to iOS.
But I wonder if Apple will discontinue the Touch? They don't seem very interested in it anymore.
