I kinda suspected that would happen. It wasn't easy talking her into it.

My wife has been hinting that it would be great on the plane for the kids on vacation this summer. So they can watch Spongebob, or whatever.

I'd much rather buy a iPod touch as they can watch movies on it as well and its much more compact. We'll see. The wife usually gets what she wants.

Adrian, I had two ipod touches. My daughter has an ipod touch. I got touches for all three of my girlfriend's kids. Lisa and I have iphones now, and I got rid of my touches a long while back.
Your kids, they'd LOVE ipod touches. None of the kids really bother with my ipad at all.
The ipad is more of a grownup niche toy. The touch is for everyone.
You can get a touch for two kids for the price of a base ipad. If they don't have them already, I swear, they'll be a lot happier.
None of our kids go anywhere without them, and Lisa and I are never without out iphones.
There's no doubt your wife is right, cause wives always are. An ipad would be great on vacation and the battery lasts a LOT longer. From my experience, the kids are gonna get way more fun out of the touch. Our kids are 20, 13, 13, and 8. Only one kid doesn't have a touch, and she wants one. Bad. She's going to be 19 in June. They work for kids of all ages.

I think in a way she was checking to see if I would use it myself the rest of the time. She knows I like new toys. She really liked the larger screen. I just really don't see myself using it. I was so happy when I could replace my Palm Pilot, phone, and iPod with my iPhone.
I think I'm sold on a 32GB touch. Best Buy has a better price right now that I can with my company's discount.

Don't take that iPad if you're traveling to Israel.

I saw something else somewhere, although I'm not sure how credible the source is so it still touches on rumor as far as I'm concerned, that some European countries are considering following suite.

Just something to exercise caution over, it would really suck to lose a $600-something electronic gadget at customs over an RF compliance issue due to varying standards.

Thanks for the tip. We're staying within the states this year.
Going back to Disney and to Universal Studios for a few days for the older one.
The kids are 7 and 2 (almost). I wanted to get the 7yr old a touch for Christmas, but my wife said she was too young. Now that she wants our iPhones daily, I think it's time she got an iPod Touch for herself.
