It is very difficult to say since apps vary greatly in size. So does music. However, given your proposed 50 or so apps and several hundred songs, plus "lots of pics" leads me to believe 8 GB will not be sufficient.


iOS itself requires some of the available memory. The 8GB iPod Touch leaves only about 6.5 GB available for your use. I would recommend you get a bigger one.

An 8 GB iPod can hold about 1500 songs in the compressed 128-Kbps AAC format. Apps can take a lot of space. It depends upon the app. Pics can take aup a lot a space if they are large files size.

An 8 GB only has about 6.4 GB available to the user. Many users have postd here wishing tha they opted for the 32 GB vice the 8 GB. I would go for the 32 GB.
