iTouch, how many gigs?


OK, I am an owner of a new iPAQ 211, but after using it for a few months, I hate the stylus and wish I would have sprung for the iTouch instead.

Now that I would like the iTouch, I'm wondering how big I should go, so I'm asking all you experts for your opinion. Would an 8 be sufficient, truly I don't think I could utilize the 32 (could I?).

But with the basic programs needed for nursing, what would you pros suggest??

Thanks so much for your time!

I've haven't even filled an 8gig yet other than when I was playing. Get what you can afford.

are you using it strictly as a PDA or will you be using it as a mp3/video/image player as well? it's not the nursing apps that take up a lot of space, it's the storage of music/video/pictures.

Actually it will just be for Epocrates (or Skyscape) programs mostly. I'm sure I'll end up adding some music to it, but I'm still attached to my nano with all the songs on that.

So for just programs like a medical dictionary, calculator, some nursing apps, and that type of stuff, I'll be OK with an 8 gig?

Thanks so much for the quick replies!!
