Do the later models have normal headphones as well as Bluetooth? I downloaded a couple of free software to convert my video files into the formats that should play on the device according to the user manual. Some of the files play (and the video quality is AWESOME) but the others don't, don't know if that's something to do with codec etc (I used the same settings when converting files). I don't know if the bluetooth ones (A series) come with normal headphones as well. Have a look on SONY NZ website. Bluetooth ones are over $100 more expensive.	SuSu (12582)

However, I’ve also been told that they won’t play standard MP3’s (of which I have about 1000 on computer) and all music has to be purchased off iTunes? Anyone care to straighten me out on the facts about these things? :thanks You can drag standard MP3's into Itunes from your PC and they will transfer and play just fine on the Itouch. You can also pay for MP3's or Music Vids if you so desire through Itunes. Some people think they can't use there current MP3 collection, this is false, you can. Music Vids/TV/Movies in formats like Divx does need to be converted (re-encoded) to MP4 or a few other compatible formats. Applications and games for the Itouch can be downloaded through Itunes or direct through the net if your using Wifi from the Itouch itself. Many of these Applications and games are free (obviously many are pay but most are at a very reasonable price like $5). My advice if your interested, search "Ipod Touch" & "Ipod touch apps" on Youtube there are 100's of vids showing what they can do.	Battleneter2 (9361)

733515	2009-01-10 00:06:00	I quite like my ipod, but I have found it unreliable - a couple of times a month it locks up & I have to let the battery run down before it will fix itself. I don't like the fact that itunes doesn't have watch folders functionality (unless you let it manage your entire music collection & rearrange it how it likes it) so I use winamp.	Greven (91)
