iPod Touch a good buy?

it\'s popular to diss att service and network coverage, but I get signals in places my friends on verizon don\'t.  plus i\'m getting an iphone implanted in my skull in about a month anyway.

My many family members all have Verizon, so there will be no iphone in my near future.  I do have a 16GB ipod touch, and I love it.  

I can\'t really answer your original question about offline maps since I\'ve never attempted offline mappage, but if you\'re in a large enough city with free/unsecured wifi, it does triangulate your position pretty accurately.

If you go to macrumors.com, you\'ll see that the ipod touch is due/overdue for an upgrade, so if you can wait a month or three to buy one, you probably should.

Overall, the ipod touch is one of the coolest gadgets I\'ve owned, and is 2nd in usefullness only to my gps.

Oh, one more thing, ipod touch web browser doesn\'t support flash, so hulu is not a possibility...at least not with the current ipod touch.  I was a little disappointed about that, but I\'m not a big online-tv watcher, so it\'s not a big deal.

Yea, I hear the same thing applies to the iphone when it comes to flash support.  We\'ll just have to wait for HTML5 and the < video > tag (which Google is actually pushing for).

Thanks for the mac rumors update, I\'ll definitely read up on that and hold out for a later model if it means only waiting a couple of months.

well, flash is just too cpu intensive to justify it\'s use on mobile phones. That being said, the HTC Hero supports it.

Flash sucks.  It just filled a multimedia gap in the interwebs while the W3C was getting formed.

I love my iphone too. Only £24 a month for 600 mins and 500 texts, also unlimited internet. Bargain!
