DD had several language-building tools when she was growing up and I never regretted it. She's a big reader now, prefers real books as opposed to ebooks, and she tends to do really well in school. I think your daughter will enjoy the Touch.

Let her bling it up and make it her own.

yes--same apps as an iphone! There would be some serious restrictions/responsibilities to go along with such a gift. The Touch may stay in mom and dad's possession and have to be "checked-out" and returned . . . until she's a bit older.

Talking this out with a friend she said that buying such a thing would spoil her, what would I get her at age 9, 11, 14 . . .?
