    ok,

    so I am not a big fan of music. I have less than 30 songs on my iTunes, and a CD has literally never gone into my car's player (3 years old). It is AM talk radio for me... I get a lot of crap from my friends saying that I am the oldest 25 year old on the planet... I digress.

    I do plan on getting an ipod touch because I really miss my iphone. I was wondering if it would be possible to store the apps on an external drive since my SSD only has 75GB left. I know I can save music files, but I could not find info on storing apps. Thanks in advance :)

    Well apps are hardly going to take up any space, they're very small files.

    75gb is plenty to store apps on, (one of the biggest i've seen is TomTom and thats 260mb ish).

    Set aside 1gb on your ssd for your apps, and I reckon you'll be fine.
