[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 5052997, member: 20741"] In a few weeks, we'll see what Apple is about to bring to the gaming table. Might be overpriced dreck... and then again, maybe not. [B][I]Aside:[/I][/B] I had (and still have) a perfectly fine 30 gig Video Ipod with leather case. I used it often. Perfect working order - literally not a scratch on it. It stayed in this custom leather flip over wallet the moment it was opened. The thing is in pristine shape. For reasons of a miscommunication (I certainly didn't think I needed or even wanted a new iPod), my wife got me a 30 gig 5th gen Ipod touch for Xmas a few weeks ago. Battery life is longer, playback options for moving through a long mp3 (I listen to audiobooks a lot - so this is nice) are way improved. Of course the video playback is much better with a bigger screen. But the whole host of iPhone apps, games, Safari browser , email etc. it can run via wireless access point make the thing WAY cool. Battery life is 4 times as long as my old iPod too. Same price as my video iPod was three years ago too. Quite impressive technology. If the new iPod Tablet is anywhere near as good as the iPhone/iPod touch? That's going to be a :):):):)-hot gadget with .pdf options and gesture controls which should rock your socks off at the gaming table. [/QUOTE]
