Obviously I am not an "apple" person, so please forgive the newbie question...
I am interested in purchasing an ipod touch but I have no intention of using or even installing itunes. I have my own very extensive library of music and videos in various formats all completely without any drm and I intend to keep it that way! I just want to upload the songs and videos to the touch and use it without any drm or proprietary conversions of existing files.
I know various hacks and alternative managers exist but I can't find out if I can buy a new touch and initialize/use it without ever installing itunes. The guys at Fry's said it could not be done but I'm not sure i believe him!
