Whats better an Ipod touch 1st gen or 3rd gen?

Whats better an Ipod touch 1st gen or 3rd gen?

 

Any Touch's storage capacity is too small for me, can't afford an iPhone but they blow the Touch out of the water for gob-smacking techno-wizardry, I find a mate's just irresistible to play with - Content myself with a nice new Classic after my old faithful died as it's the only one with the capacity I need.

I bought a classic years ago and it is still going strong, to be honest I'm not sure what the attraction of the touch is since apart from the touch screen a classic can do most of the functions whilst an iphone can do more.

 

I bought one of these Sansa View units last spring, and while it isn’t an Apple, I have no complaints. I bought this to go with my Sandisk Sansa Clip 4GB MP3 player, since this one is expandable with the MicroSD slot. I was so impressed with the hardiness of the first Sansa I bought for $50, I couldn’t justify paying the extra for the iPod name.

I washed and ran my Sansa Clip through a complete wash and dry cycle last year, since I had lost the "clip" to a dog snatching it off of my sleeve and giving it a good crunch before I could get it away from him. The little "clip" lost one end, and the face got a few teeth marks, but it still worked and fit right in my "watch pocket" of both my bibs and my Levis. I forgot the stinker in a watch pocket when I put a pair of bibs through the wash, and only noticed it wasn’t on the table when I went to hook it up to the ‘puter and charge the battery/add some tunes.

By the time I did this, it had been through the full wash, spin, rinse, spin-dry cycles and I had transfered it into the dryer! Had been in there "hot tumble" drying for nearly 30 minutes when I "rescued" it, and when I plugged it in, it just took right off and worked.

Here is a link to the Sansa-View Player I have now, along with the other Sansa Clip (it still rides in my watch pocket) I use for just tunes. The Sansa View also allows me to download audio books from my local library, and listen to them as I either walk, ride my bicycle (seven speed mountain) around town, or drive in my vehicles. The one Micro SD I’ve purchased so far is a 16GB, but there are bigger ones out there of course.
This is on eBay, where I bought mine in April for slightly more than this price (I paid $72+S&H):
