As an owner of an ipod touch, I agree with the recommendation to buy a refurbished iphone. It's not that I don't love my ipod, I use it for so many things. But it was $200 new and for just a little more I could have gotten a refurbished iphone. The one thing about buying a refurbished device is that you have no idea how good the battery will be and that can be kind of important.

Kare, one thing you could do is use a decommissioned phone, it works just 
nicely as an iPod like device and you don’t need the latest and greatest but 
you can definitely take advantage of enhanced voices.  You also have the 
advantage of having a GPS receiver in these as GPS is part of the cell modem.  
Grab an old 6+ for example and you’ll also have an upgrade path for a while 
longer.

I may make the Classic  a priority then.
For me personally, at least the last time I tested them at an apple store, the  
enhanced ios voices  too were a bit of a physical dizziness risk.
If I can avoid  the touch I  will.
Thanks again,
Kare

Hi Kare. You can download enhanced voices for an iOS device like the
iPod touch but the voices for the rockbox firmware on the iPod video
for example is very slim if any as I recall.

I always wanted the classic as the high capacity model was a whopping
160gb which is still huge now for an mp3 player you can easily fit in
a pants pocket!

This rumor has been around for many years. But I think it refers to the
ipod nano, not the ipod touch. Although, I am not sure what purpose the
ipod touch serves since an ipad mini is so similar.

Hi everyone,
Yes I recall posts indicating that Apple is going to discontinue the
iPod.
I am not seeking a hot off the shelf model regardless, having two
unique questions.
First, what was the last edition that still had buttons?  If I must
get a touch, how close do the voices mirror those on the mac?
Ios makes me literary dizzy so I must choose with great care, part of
why i would prefer a unit with buttons.  Might not need voiceover at
all  in that situation.
I have a head phones question as well  but that would be three so I
will wait.
Thanks,
Kare
