Anything like the Ipod touch except better?

Thread Starter 
I want something with wi-fi and fun but not the touch. Unless there is just nothing like it. I want to be able to browse, read books, listen, watch, you know, everything.

Any suggestions are appreciated. I would like to keep it around $200?

If the internet browser or a large selection of apps is important to you, you would do best just getting the touch. I've read many reviews that say there just isn't anything that works smoother than the mobile safari that comes on the touch. Also if you want a large selection of games then you can't beat the touch. If watching movies is the most important thing for you, then the zune hd might be better because of the higher resolution.

The Zune HD is better if you only want a media player (dedicated to music and video), but the iPod is a better all rounder (internet browser, apps, games etc). The Cowon S9 is also worth considering if you want 50+ hours of battery life.

Try the 16GB Zune HD for $200 dollars right now at Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! or just get an 8GB iPod Touch. You decide.

If you want better individual things, all in separate devices, there should be other options. You can get good music player for $200 most definitely. If you just care about video, there's that for $200.

If you want to do "everything", then there's nothing like the ipod touch at this point in time. Or you'll have to wait and see if certain rumored products work out for you when they're released *some time next year* (Sony and iriver's rumored Android PMPs, the actual customer version of the Creative Zii PMP, etc.)

I hate to say this but the iPhone 3gs is $200 with contract. Hands down the best media player out there in my opinion.

Enjoy.
Do!

The S9 does not have a web browser nor even wi-fi to use it.

The Zune currently doesn't have enterprise wi-fi support, so that may be a factor.

touch 2010 version

Seriously, if you want to find a player being comparable to what touch can do, I think there is none.

Touch can let you play tons of games, like resident evil 4, emulator. Thunder like browsing speed, and above average quality SQ.............

I don't think there is a player close to it,even Zune HD. I am not saying Zune HD suck, just it can't come close touch then

If you want an all around entertainment system, and don't want the touch, then wait for a tablet to come out I guess. There really isn't anything out there that can do "everything" better (or even as good as) the touch at the moment.

I'll expand on this: There's nothing like the touch in its form factor. You can get an Archos 5 and it will do things better than the touch, but its a lot bigger, and won't fit in your pocket.

Look into the Archos 5 or Archos 7. You can get the 160 Gb Archos 7 (7 inch screen) for 220 off of amazon right now. Read into it and see how you like them.
