Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation (Refurbished, White or Black): 64GB $229, 32GB $179, 8GB $129 + Free Shipping (expired)

I have a 4th gen and have had no problems with it. Yeah the camera sucks but I have a real camera..I use the camera on this ipod for facebook pics as facebook can do what they want with your pics. I have not upgraded to iOS 6 yet because I haven't backed it up and i have heard of people losing everything.

Anyways if you're looking for this for a teen..I'd buy it versus the 5th gen. because if they break it you won't cry as hard

got 1 thank!

i give a crap about a camera. Go buy a real camera.

Quote from drdvls : I think Target's BF deal is better. Brand new IPOD Touch 16GB,4th generation is $159 ($199+$40 gift card)

It would be nice if Amazon would match with a Lightning Deal

Quote from stevenq : I used to own the 4g (this deal) and I own the newest generation (5th). The difference between both is night and day in my opinion. Yea I know there's a big difference between $179 and $299 but it's totally worth it. The camera on the 4th gen is not good at all, maybe useable for Facetime but it's terrible for pictures. The camera on the 5th gen is as good as the iPhone 4S and maybe even a bit better because I think it uses a better algorithm for low light scenarios. The faster processor opens up new doors for game play or apps like iMovie where you can make trailers (you can't make trailers in the 4th gen iPod Touch). You can almost consider ditching your point and shoot camera altogether and just use the 5th gen iPod touch, it's that good. And the little apps you have can make your pictures shine like Instagram and collage makers.

Yea but its more then enough for my 9'year old.

Same thoughts here. My daughter is 11 and I figure in the next year or two she will be getting an iPhone anyway...

Yup I mean I have the iPhone 5 and my son always used it for youtube and apps so I figure might as well jump on this.

Quote from clearanceman : You can get a used smartphone for less that you can use as an android player. I just don't activate the phone part and use it on wifi. Removable battery, micro SD slot. My oldest had an iPod Touch but the battery died and that was that. All my kids are getting used smartphones as android players now. Best deal was cowboom had HTC EVO 4G for $44 shipped. LOL, 4.7 inch screen dual core processor, dual cameras, replaceable battery, micro SD slot, HDMI out. 8 gig built in plus the SD slot. Lots of free and dirt cheap android apps and easy free MP3 downloads. Just pointing out a cheaper more versatile alternative. My 10 year old loves his Viper with 16 gig micro SD slot.

Quote from clearanceman : Come on, for kids a used smartphone is a lot better deal and apps are cheaper, many are free. And if the battery dies it costs less than $5 for a new one and there is expandable memory. I'm not going to check all those apps, but how many are requirements for the average 10 year old? My ten year old is playing most of the angry birds games. Even my 13 year old who has a keyboard phone which even takes a 16 gig micro SD card and has a replaceable battery, would like a non activated smart phone for games and movies. HDMI out for $45? Is this still a bargain site? A used smartphone can do everything your smartphone can do but make calls and I bet you can make call on skype, maybe google voice. It just works for them on wifi. I know they can text if they have a wifi connection. And the GPS units still work! You can actually use the GPS without cell service. Think of all your smartphone can do, your kid can do almost all those things on wifi.

I actually just sold my Android smartphone, which had a pretty awesome 4G data plan. And now i'm back to using an ipod touch + dumb phone.

While the SD card slot and removeable battery are great features to have, there are just too many great apps that arent available for Android. I only listed a few, but I have a whole list of them actually. This caveat is much easier to accept when you have never had a taste of the app store. You can't miss what you've never had.

While GPS positioning does not require an internet connection, any application that utilizes the GPS, wether it be navigation, maps, or something like Yelp, will require an internet connection. Maps and other data are pulled from the internet, and are not saved on your phone.

An iPod Touch, or your suggestion, a non activated Android smartphone is little more than a device to run apps. So for me, i'd rather stick with the platform that has better content to offer. I could name a dozen apps that I was disappointed to find Google Play store not have. And when I switched back to iOS, I couldnt think of any must have Android apps that weren't available for iOS.

There is probably nobody who has used an ipod touch 4th gen than me (in the last 15 months).

but i'm tired of it. it really is a bit too slow (i also use an ipad 2 all the time which has the same chip as the ipod touch 5th gen) and it can't run newer awesome games like horn. and now it's only going to get worse in the future.

this is a good price because it has a good resale value, but for reference i am personally selling my ipod touch 4th gen 32gb to pay for 2/3's the cost of a 5th gen because that processor and extra inch are so, so worth it, to me. a heavy ipod touch user.


fantastic gift.

I own the new 5th gen, but I have to disagree about the 4th gen being obsolete. It can still run most games perfectly fine. Ironically, my 2 month old Samsung Exhibit II 4G could not handle Modern Combat 3, and I wasted $7 on that app. A 2 year old 4th gen iPod Touch can run that game no problem.

But yeah, the 5th gen is definitely worth upgrading to. For me, a big part of it is the camera. Having the higher resolution, better lens, panorama, and flash, really makes it a worthy point n shoot camera that can handle regular everyday stuff. And the RAM upgrade improves performance with pretty much everything.

Quote from bru20 : Reading these posts makes me wonder if my 4.5 yo son is stunted in his development. He doesn't know what and iPod or iPad is. He plays with Thomas the train and other engines and his toy cars and reads books (well looks at the pictures). How would I even introduce him to these gadgets?

sounds like what my son did when he was two. better get on it....

most kids pick these things up and learn to use them very quickly. sometimes the apps are a waste of time and sometimes they are amazingly good at teaching skills and information. how you sort through all the options will ultimately determine if it is a good purchase or a bad one.

My son had a 3rd gen and it was lost last Saturday. We have looked everywhere to no avail. This post came at the perfect time. Thank-you, OP, for sharing this deal.

Quote from coreyjohnson711 : If this had GPS I would be all over it :/

You would be surprised at how well the "wifi" does at geolocation. Generally good enough most uses as long as you can find service.

Quote from LZatWork : For the $120 difference, I'll buy myself a real standalone camera. Problem solved! :-)

Not the same. If I'm at my parents house I can take a family photo with Instagram or put together a family collage, send it to my friends and family and post it to Facebook within minutes. Not possible with traditional point and shoot. The flexibility of the camera is unparalleled. It also does video as well. I just downloaded iMovie, have you seen the trailers people can make? It would take you hours to make the same trailer that I could punch out in a few minutes.

Quote from cborder : You would be surprised at how well the "wifi" does at geolocation. Generally good enough most uses as long as you can find service.

It's scary how well the location service works. Apple Map has my exact location, literally on the map. Not bad for a device sans GPS.

I feel like your comment that the camera sucks but you have a real camera is a poor excuse. If you're going to put a camera on something, either make it good enough to use or leave it out. To me it's like saying "Yeah I can barely hear my car radio it really sucks, but I have a boom box I just hook it up in there"
