Hey I know this has nothing to do with yoyos but my birthday is coming and sadly my parents didn’t agree to get me yoyos… But they allowed one of these. Now I just have to decide which one. The iPod touch 5th generation or the iPad 2nd generation. Please help me decide.

If you watch a lot of videos, the iPad. If you don’t, the portability of the iPod can’t be beat. It’s no slouch for video, either, but if you watch a LOT of video, you might want the larger size of the iPad.

Overall, my vote is iPod Touch.

I’ve got a 5th gen ipod touch. I probably use about 1/10th of its capability. Primarily for music. It works ok for video and web, but the larger screen of the ipad would be better for that. Other than the screen size I think they’re pretty much the same, so that’s the deciding factor as I see it. I like the ipod myself.

I have a Ipod touch 5 and it runs with the same processor as the ipad 2. It’s pretty fast for such a small mobile device.
