    I was also looking at the itouch v iclassic but previously had an mp3 player which has a radio - can you listen to the radio on either of these at all easily?

    simple answer, no

    long answer, there is no way on the classic, but on the ipod touch if you have a mifi (or a phone that can share its 3G through wifi) you can use the ipod touch to listen to some radio stations through either an app or the internet.

    neither have an FM tuner built in

    I think you can get add-on tuners for the iPod.

    If you have an ipod touch which is a couple of years old and doesn't have the "Apps" icon on it does that mean I can't download apps.

    I can get onto the internet and listen to albums etc but just struggling to set up an account to download apps/games.

    Your iPod touch should be able to download apps regardless of age.

    Are you sure you're tapping the right app? The App Store icon looks like this:

    If you can't see it anywhere, can you deinfately say the iPod is genuine? Is it from a legit source?

    Hi Bowling_4_Gold, the iPod is definately genuine yes. But that icon doesn't appear. I think it's a couple of years old by now and I had to restore it back to original settings as it was previously used by someone else. It has safari etc on it.

    Is the best thing probably to take it into an Apple store or ring them up.

    Summer01, what version of the iOS is it running? If it's 1.X, that'd be why there is no app store.
