Then don't spoil him by buying him an ipod touch! He should be earning the money to buy it himself by now - Buy him a tangerine and tell him how lucky he is to have such a unique present?

I would say to take a look at the Creative brand, ipods tend to be overpriced for what you get. I've not looked recently but I know when I bought mine back in 2003 the ipod was £30 more expensive and had a 10gb smaller hard disk.
Creative have been around for almost as long as Apple (remember the Soundblaster sound card in the early '90s?) and make some very good kit. They'll play any MP3s you give them and usually come with software to rip your existing CDs.

Got my second Ipod touch the other week, I absolutely love them. Had a gen1 which went everywhere with me, now have a 3rd gen, both 8 gig.. I can not see my self filling it with stuff I'd actually use so as long as you have a PC then just swap and change music to your current tastes. You can download music off the Ipod store and Itunes on your pc, the apps are awsome too, I have only bought 1 so far wich was guitar player, mastered that pretty well :lol: But I have about 15-20 free apps and use them for everything, I even have on that has an accurate drawing of nuts and threads to determine what size bolts and thread are, In case you haddn't worked that out! :lol:.
Well worth the money I say. I got mine with £10 off panasonic in-ear headphones and a free £10 gift voucher for Argos as well!
I abuse mine pretty bad too, very strong. Not had one nicked but I imagine theydo have legs of their own, but that's what the passcode is for ;) Mines always either being dropped on the floor off my amp when practising or being used as a finger snowboard and is pretty awsome, well worth the cash!
EDIT: I forgot to mention they do suffer from bad battery life if you're constantly playing with apps etc, on the other hand, if it's on standby or just playing music, it's fine.

Problem with creative (the inventors of the portable mp3 player - Ive still a zen kicking about) is the horrific software which needed to be installed to get the music from the PC to the device.
apple really scored with the itunes - itunes library - iplayer package. It's a wonderful combination of hardware / software. Rember that the touch is more of a tablet PC than it is an mp3 player. The archos is about as close as any other device gets.
