I've never used a Nexus-7. No doubt it has a cooler name, and that's doubly true for me since I played LEGO Universe.    But I'll go with what I know and say iTouch.

I've never used a Nexus 7. It depends if you like the screen big or small.

I would say that since you have plenty of time before Christmas, you should wait until mid September. It is rumored that Apple is going to release an iPad Mini (a tablet with a screen size of 7", between the full iPad and the iPhone/iPod Touch) along with the iPhone 5 in Spetember. That would be a better comparison than the iPod Touch to the Nexus 7.

The iPod touch is more portable, if want to bring it where ever you want get an iTouch.
If you want to get one with a bigger screen and is cheaper but cant go everywhere get a Nexus 7.

Unfortunately I don't have much experience with either, so dismiss my opinion as you wish, but, personally, I think that you should go for something in the Samsung Galaxy range.

Nah...

-If you want great portability, apps and music, go with the iPod touch.
-If you want the same thing except less portability for a bigger screen, go with the [soon to come] iPad mini.

Never the Nexus 7.

You dont get more music with the iPod Touch you buy it, and you can find a lot online then sync it to your device.

I'm not really talking about the songs themselves, just listening to music in general.

Listening to music on a tablet is a little bit awkward. My iPad is now my main music player (replacing a normal MP3 player) and I use it in cars or things like that, but if you are on the go you can't put it in your pocket and listen to music or something. I might see if I can find a way to put my headphones through my backpack.

I bet you have never used a Nexus 7 in your LIFE, Steve.

I will wait until September and see if they release a I-Pad Mini or a new I-Touch. If they don't, I will get a Nexus 7 or a 4g I-Touch. Asking for this to be closed.

If you want a tablet you can get one ( nexus, iPad mini) but they seriously don't fit in your pocket. I'd say go for the iPod touch.

Why does Apple have a 4g iPod Touch? Isn't that the whole point of an iPhone?

- Not easy to carry around.

Which one would better suit you?

Why exactly do people hate iTunes? Is it because it's made by Apple? It is a place to buy and play music. It isn't something that you have to use. The only times I have needed to use iTunes was to transfer videos onto my iPad, and I had an overall good experience.

The iPod Touch is cheaper than the Nexus 7.

You can use an Apple product without being a fanboy, you know.

Personally I think that 7" is really small for a tablet. I've never been a fan of the idea of using a touchscreen on a smartphone (especially to type - *shudders*) or even a small tablet. A small tablet is too small to be a comfortable tablet (in my opinion) but too big to put in your pocket. The iPad screen size is just right IMO.

4G as in 4th Generation 

And yea, iTunes is awesome. I have a hard time finding a decent music player for my Fire with custom Jelly Bean on it. Obviously I can't use Google Music because I don't live in the US.

I've also found that typing is slightly better on the iTouch than on the Fire, because unlike the iPad where you can almost touch type, the Fire is a very akward size. You can't type with your thumbs like on an iTouch, and you can't touch type like on an iPad. You're stuck with find and peck and hope my finger doesn't misses 

That brings me to another problem I have with small Android tabets: their screen ratios are weird. They're too tall and not wide enough. I prefer the aspect ratio of the iPad just like I prefer the 16:10 screen ratio of Macs over the 16:9 ratio of most Windows computers.
