Are you talking about the 4th generation iPod touch? I'd go with the 5th or 6th gen instead. They're not terribly pricey. My mom got my cousin the 6th gen for his bar mitzvah this past fall and my boyfriend and I chipped in for it. He loves it, especially since he was coming from a much older one (I think he got his sister's 3rd or 4th gen as a hand-me-down).
