Is an Apple iPod Touch worth the money?

[Starships Were Meant To Flyyyy]

I don't have portable devices other than my phone which is an outdated AT&T Samsung thing lol idk what it's called but it's just a standard phone, nothing fancy. I'm thinking about buying an iPod Touch with my own money so while I'm saving up, I might as well save for something I want. But since it's my own money I want to be careful about whether it's really worth it or not. I have my laptop, but it's always nice to have something portable that I can chat, take pictures on, play games on, etc. The only iPod I've ever owned was an iPod Shuffle that my friend gave me because she was buying the touch and since I don't have headphones it's pretty much useless. And I really wanna make an Instagram account, SnapChat, Kik, etc. So iPod owners, is the iPod Touch worth the 200+ bucks?
