The main incentive I had was to use a foreign language dictionary on the iPod, instead of buying an electronic dictionary, and it has been well worth it. The foreign language apps work great, but I also enjoy using it for so many other things. It was so handy taking on a trip to another country rather than taking my laptop – kept track of trip expenses, kept a trip log, recorded tour guide talks, checked e-mail when wireless networks were accessible, listened to podcasts, played games.
And getting the iPod from Amazon.com was smooth as usual and the best price I could find.
Get a screen protector as soon as you can, if not when you buy it.
