Is the latest iPod touch really worth it?

What are some pros and cons to the latest iPod touch?

Oh, i see you're still pondering about the iPod Touch i told you about yesterday.

(note: i'm typing this on my iPod Touch, which is the latest one)
(another note: most of these things on this list apply to all iPod Touch models, otherwise i'll put what generations support the feature)
(another note: when i say "iPod Touch 4G", that means the latest one that you're asking about.)

Pros:
-a wide variety of free, cheap, and awesome apps
-internet connectivity
-you can update your social network statuses on-the-go, and even more frequently
-youtube :3
-with the "mail" app, you can check email inboxes of multiple email addresses
-what the iPod Touch 4G is most well-known for, the camera! You can take pictures (the camera is 0.7 Megapixels, but the pictures it takes aren't too shabby), videos, and directly upload them to Twitter and Youtube (4G only)
-with the latest iOS update, the new "iMessage" application was introduced, which is the same as the iPhone texting program, only you can send messages ONLY to people who have iPods, iPhones or iPads and Apple IDs that are registered with the application. Oh, and you need Wi-Fi in order to do so. (But, other than that, it's awesome!) (3G and 4G)
-it's slimmer than previous generations (4G, of course)
-it has an A4 processing chip, meaning fast internet (4G only)
-you can Skype video chat with the front-facing camera and Wi-Fi for free! (4G only)
-there is also and app called "textfree + voice" where you can pretty much text and call anybody for free, as long as you have Wi-Fi (4G only; 1G 2G and 3G as well, if you have headphones with a mic on it)
-you have a choice of the color black or white (4G only)
-you can directly redeem iTunes cards directly in the Appstore an iTunes app, an directly purchase songs.

(note: the cons losten below are going to be exclusive to the iPod Touch 4G)

Cons:

-with all the software data, you lose 1.6GB of said capacity (so, if you get a, say, 8GB model, then you'd only have 6.4GB left to use. Bummer
-there's this problem where your iPod randomly thinks it has a bunch of other stuff on it, and then it tells you that there are 0 bytes left on it (note: one byte is EXTREMELY small in size)
-the latest iOS 5 firmware is still buggy and the battery drains too quickly
-the zoom feature on the camera REALLY sucks
-the chrome plating on the back scratches too easily (although, if you get a case for it there should be no problem)
-Flash Player is not supported >.>

So overall, even though there are some gripes about it, it's worth it.

But i suggest you get a 32GB model, due to the "software data taking up space" problem doesn't really affect you.
And you should get it from Amazon.com, they have it a little cheaper there than retail stores.
