Ok, I have been locked out of steaming AM radio at work for over 2
months now. I am looking for an option to get access as I have
exhausted my CD collection and gets boring playing the same stuff
all the time. I was talking to a guy at work here who says he can
get AM access via his iPhone and its WiFi capabilities. He told me
if I don't want the phone to look at the iTouch which is essentially
an iPhone without the phone. This would work fine for me as I
barely use a phone as it is.

The iTouch would allow me to download music, movies, use the
internet and play games. Does anyone have one or used one?
They appear to cost about $200 which is steep but if I use all
the applications on it, I don't think it sounds completely out of
line. Just looking for thoughts from anyone who may know more
about this product.

I agree with your friend completely. The Touch will stream both the Score (with Wunder Radio or AOL Radio app) and ESPN 1000 (through their own 99c app). Or, if you're in the market for a new phone too and you're not on AT&T, you can look at getting an unlocked iPhone 3g and putting your sim card in it. Hell, I have one that's unlocked now that I'm going to sell soon. Want to buy it?

I have one. It ain't bad. Im not big on all the apps, but I play alot of games on it during my daily Metra commute. I will fuck up anyone in Spades because I have played it so much lately on there. I don't listen to AM Radio on it, but I have access to Sirius Radio with their App, which I use all the time. The screen quality on them is really good and the touchscreen is real nice feature. If you get one, make sure you buy a screen cover because that screen will get disgusting in 2-3 days. The battery life is actually pretty decent, which was a big concern of mine when I bought it. The only thing that really pissed me off about it was that all the regular iPod accessories like the battery charger do not work with it so you have to buy a new one if you want that sort of thing.

I appreciate the offer but not interested in the phone at all. I literally make 2 calls a week as it is.
Thanks for the other info, this is sounding a bit more promising than I anticipated.

Thanks for the reply. All good info. I will have to head out and look these over this weekend. I will
definitely need a charger if I am going to run this thing for extended periods of time at work.

You can still charge it with the USB cord which is included with the iPod, but if you plan on charging it via an outlet you will need to buy one.
