The 5th gen is definitely a must try for those who have not yet been acquainted with the iPod Touch series, it's like a almost there but not yet version of an iPhone. I'm not really an iPhone type of guy but I must say i'm really more impressed on this iPod Touch 5th gen rather on the Iphone 5.

NOTE: So basically this is a way better version of the 4th gen. also comes in with alot of new additions to it making it a really good upgrade. It really is an almost there but not yet iPhone 5. It's addition of SIRI and other neat features makes it 10 points higher on both functionality and entertainment value.
For those planning to buy this, and does not have an iPhone 5 or an iPad this is a must buy for you. It really has the power and funness that the iPod touch are known for. The colored schemes are really a great addition to it's design breaking the almost boring designs of the iPod Touch.

RANT:  I think it will be a little too pricey for the average consumer, I personally would think twice before buying it. (i'm really price conscious), but I really am more interested on this than on the iPhone 5, basically SIRI will not be a very big factor in my country, because we are way behind, way! way! behind, so SIRI most of the time will not be accurate. It has more PROS than CONS and I will suggest people to buy it as long as you have the budget for it, if not, stick to the low cost mini tablets, half the price but almost there with the fun.

Oh and why do apple always design iPods with the oh so crappy speakers? people are not using it anyway! Really a waste of space. . . Crappy Crappy Speakers!!

If you can't buy an iPhone 5 and can't stop drooling about it, why not buy the iPod Touch instead, then buy a decent low budget smartphone, it's not going to kill if you can't have the iPhone 5 will it?? Don't be a SHEEP
