Well, I've had mine for over a year now. I bought it new on eBay in January, 2011. It is very outdated, thus making it a thing of the past. As you may very well know, the newest version, the iPod touch 4th Generation in white was released in October, 2011. I like that it can surf the web, mobile version aside, and that is one of the biggest perks of this model. I also like the apps in the App Store, such as Eden World Builder, which is similar to the computer and Xbox 360 game, Minecraft. I like being able to download and listen to music from the iTunes store, the pre-downloaded application for buying your favorite music. I also like being able to check my email on the Email app. This app comes pre-downloaded. I don't like being able to update to the latest firmware, iOS 5.0.1. It cannot be updated past 4.2.1. This is why I don't like this device. Other than that, it is very good as a mobile web browser, and to play games that are compatible with it. It also does not have the Open GL 2.0 graphics as the 4th generation does. My recommendation is to just save up and buy the 4th Generation.
