Wow that sucks. The Touch is going to be overpriced, just like the iphone. $300 for 8gb and $400 for 16gb. If that had been 80gb and 160gb I'd be all over it.

16gb of flash storage is pretty good, better battery life and not fragile like HDD units makes it teh winnar for me.

16 gigs is crap especially seeing as it plays videos

It isn't crap for most people. I'm willing to bet that 95% of people who have ipods dont use more than a couple gigs of storage on them.

I have a 40 gig harddrive on my laptop (the only computer I currently have), and I am still only using 25 gigs of storage on it after 3 years of owning it.

I haven't filled my 4GB Nano yet. I see no reason to loads albums worth of crap when I only like particular songs.

same here

heh i have a 2 gig sansa that i have not filled up.

though my wife keeps takeing it.

aye...not everyone needs EVERYTHING with them at all times.

I currently have a library approaching 120GB, and with my 4GB nano I was always fine. Different strokes...

The fact is not everyone needs EVERYTHING with them.

Although going on a trip with 160GB of movies would've been tight with that larger screen...

Yep and Apple knows this. There's no need to add more storage if most people won't use it.

also...viral marketing baby...

the itunes buying on the go will fvkign rock...I don't there isn't a person alive who hasn't heard a song they love and wouldn't buy it on the spot...best off, is that they set it up without any special partnerships, so any future partnerships (people at a concert get a discount if they buy now etc) will be $$ i nthe bank for them...

<----jsut finished paying for classes and has no money for this but WANTS IT SO BAD

?

the moto headphones are pretty good, so I agree, but it's not a deal-killer

DAMNIT...why don't I have money right now..this isn't fair:|

I'm still waiting for the "iPod uber"--widescreen, touchscreen, wifi, 80GB+, 6 hours of video on one charge.

<sigh> I guess we can't have it all...

I don't know what this obsession with watching video in 320x240 on a 2 inch screen is. I don't want to pay for a damn color screen to listen to music. Give me more memory or lower price instead. I don't want a larger device for video that I don't plan on watching.

Hear Hear!

Actually, that's a good point. I gotta look at the iPhone dissection article on Anandtech again, because I don't remember if Apple used a single chip wifi+bluetooth solution or if they are separate. If single-chip, than there's no excuse really.

ah but you sort of can

<--streams 114GB of music to his phone @ 192kbps

Using rtsp I am sure you can hack the thing to receive streams

I doubt the music store preview feature isn't rtsp anyway

+ with that google app you could change the playlists as well

They need to make a MEDIA iPod Touch that's a little fatter, but has 160GB of storage. for $350.

I'd buy that in a heart beat, though I don't care if it has a camera.

I don't care if it's bigger, I just want to have 100GB's or more dammit!

fixed for deviousness:evil:

i want the touch. i played with the iphone but nothing in the world can convince me to use AT&T again
the touch can replace my 1st gen nano nicely

 

[Goosemaster]

more bitching:

this sucks..I just paid for my classes 1 day ago

no fair

 

[Aimster]

o snap.
I might get me an Iphone.

I have the old AT&T simcard cause I haven't changed my plan in 4 years. Wonder if it'll work or if Ill have to get a new plan.
Anyone know?

I was disappointed there was no Beatles announcement.

I never understood people's obsession with this...what are you expecting, Jobs to dig up Lennon and Harrison and parade their corpses on stage with Ringo and McCartney, then sell the video of it on iTMS? A yellow waterproof iPod? New Abbey Road album cover with silhouttes dancing across the crosswalk?

Obviously they aren't releasing any new music, if you're even the most casual Beatles fan, you already own their music, and if you own an mp3 player of any sort, it's probably on there in digital form...what am I missing?!

If anything they will go up

Too bad I gave mine away (4GB black with the mirror back) a few months ago

Best damn mp3 player I ever had.

 

[Josh]

just pre-ordered a 8 gb one sweeeet

 

[slackerinabox]

The classic is a sweet deal - 80 gigs for $249!

 

[lokiju]

So the real question is, can you log into Anandtech with the built in browser?

I had a 4 gig mini that died on me literally days after my 1 year warranty. Those conceited fuckers at the "genius bar" told me I was SOL and tried to sell me a new one full price, wouldn't even offer me a discount for trading my old one in that was obviously defective. I sold my mini on eBay to some moron who paid almost what they could have bought a refurb mini from apple and bought a creative zen micro. The interface is bad. I really wish someone besides apple would come out with a player that I liked so I don't have to swallow my pride and buy another ipod.

 

[Josh]

i wish you could just get a damned data plan with it so i can go on the internet at all times for like $20/mon
