RE: [Apple iPod] iPod Touch

Jules, you might want to look around. There are more devices out there than just the iPod touch and the Archos! I don't have the touch, but have seen it and it does have nice display features for photos, but I haven't compared the display against competing devices. Perhaps someone online has. What was "rubbish" about the Archos? Was it the user interface, the display, or something else? Also, if your wife is just going to use it for images, the 32GB model might be overkill. I'm not sure about the touch, but on my regular iPod, it converts all images you have down to a 100k, so a 32gb model would be able to store 320,000 of these. Does she really need that much capacity, or will she be using it for music, audio books, and/or video as well? As Otto mentioned, the touch is flash-based, so comparatively the memory is expensive. The other devices out there should be cheaper and hold more, and they also won't force you to convert all your images in order to put them on the device. But they will be bigger...
