I would say the touch, all the bullshit about the screen getting all smudgy is B.S , I LOVE my touch , srly ! It's great to be able to go on the internet (it's almost like a labtop!) and the touchscreen is just awesome. Also, let's face it, it's not like you could listen to 80gb of music on one battery life... just make playlist with your 8 gb favorite beats of the moment and have fun with your Ipod Touch. Oh and another plus is the fact that it's 8gb FLASH and not a harddrive, it means no more laggy, wierd waiting at each song or while browsing. It's also a lot harder to break than a classic ipod.
trust me and go with the touch!
