Default I touch or Kindle Fire.

My 8 year old grandaughter says she wants an ipod touch for xmas, not sure if we should do that or go with the Kindle Fire..

Seems like more applications for her and her educational needs..

I have one of the early ipod touches 8 gigs, piece of junk it you want to use wifi. Can't believe they charged people $220 for this POS. I got mine for free when i bought an imac. They are tough though, ive thrown mine against the wall at least three times and it still works, well sort of, like it did before i threw it.

Do you mean iPad? An iPod Touch is the same size as a phone, while a Fire is a small tablet. My experience with the Fire is that it tends to hang...especially the browser. It is much, much cheaper than the iPad though.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

But I'm stubborn and refuse to buy a new one until this one breaks

But it's great for email, looking up something the web, etc. (provided you have WiFi where you're using it) and it fits in your pocket. Again, don't buy it expecting to spend hours surfing the net - it's too small for that and there are better options. But it's convenient for keeping up with e-mail, checking the weather, my bank has an app so banking is easy, taking notes, the new ones have a camera and also shoot HD video, etc, and obviously the fact it's great for keeping your music. It's pretty cool and you can buy refurbished ones for starting at around $169 on Apple.com.

Get her an iPod touch. She will enjoy it significantly more. I teach children and as far as educational content available, specifically free content, the iPod touch has is far better.
