Ive had a 3rd gen touch for some time now and I love it. I got the 32 gig one and have not come close to filling up the HD with 2000 songs about 6 full length movies like batman dark night, Watchmen and a few others, I only got a handful of games and don't really have a lot of other apps. Picture viewing is really nice and handy for any quick show and tell.

Battery life could be better, I think, but I have never completely ran out of juice yet, I just make sure I have charging options when traveling.
