iPod touch or Samsung P2?

i am from sweden, canada and japan. i have lived in minus 20 to minus 10 for 4 months of a year: the touch worked for me in all of that: in blizzards that nearly no one in canada could fathom.

northern japan is far far out of scope for normal canadians. the touch was fine.

Good to know.

But we hit minus 30-40 quite often last winter and broke all kinds of snowfall records... so I think I know winter

Time will tell I guess! That is, if I end up getting a touch-screen player. Which I most likely will.

unless you've been through -50 + with windchill.. than say it's colder .. than you could definitely say no one in canada could fathom.. you must of lived in vancity where they get much more mild temperature because of the Chinook winds, while me being right dead in the middle get both extremes.

Talk about natural disasters , than you got something we don't.

sorry: i see it was manitoba. you get cold but i would assume that it will work fine but... why would you expose your fingers in minus 50 for long?

just use it whilst on the buss and when you are using your coat or in office. i don't ususally whip out my player in the cold as it is cold.

i don't have car, so most of my minus 20 weather was one hour walks to work or more. never had trouble at that temperature with wind that makes a kite out of the body. but then, in that place, i don't take my hands out of their thermals

edit: i did say 'nearly'. when i was back there, i checked the snowfall in areas of masses of population and compared those. sapporo broke anything in canada for similar populations and even down below 1 million mark in canada for everything except lowest of low temperatures. snow fall is by far more than any over i million city in canada and unless your average snowfall is greater than 6 metres in a winter, then i think greater than 95% of what canadians usually experience.

Point is, winter's awesome.

I just hope that touch-screen players are awesome enough to last through my favorite season!

So how do I download firmware updates for the P2? Do I have to use the samsung program, and does it download it to my player like the Zune does?
