Bigger screen, 2 SD ports, and a lot more options than the iTouch. I love it, and am very happy that I purchased it (especially if you can find one around 200). That said, it is not for everyone. I don't mind tinkering with the device, re-flashing if I some how mess things up. The sort of stuff you can do with it is amazing, IF you are willing and have the time to do so. That's a pretty big if, unfortunately, and most consumers are either not willing or able to understand the system, or appreciate what open source means. So while I certainly feel it was a better buy for my money, having something that "just works" goes a very long way when it comes to selling a product.
