   Meh…not enough disk space.

   I’m going to wait for the next generation of video iPods. I’m imagining
   something like the iPhone that has a full-size touchscreen for watching
   videos and enough space to hold all my music (about 60GB) plus a
   buttload of TV shows and movies.

   
   That will be a very merry Christmas for me.

   Henry, which one do you want? The classic looks like it adds some nice
   visual stuff and the 80 and 160 GB is huge. I agree with Kyle, the
   storage on the touch is way too low for my needs. It’s only a matter of
   time before the flash memory overtakes hard drives.

   I understand your sentiments and I share them. I guess that as of yet
   flash memory is 10X as expensive as hard drives. I had read rumors that
   they were going to stick with a HD on the iPod Touch, but I think they
   did the right thing in staying with flash and going for thin and longer
   battery life.

   If I were to get one today? Tough call. The wifi is pretty sweet, the
   screen is awesome. But even with my underdeveloped music collection, I
   need at least 30 GB.

   So, if I were to get anything now, it would be the 160 GB iPod Classic
   in black. Then I would start to rip all the movies I own onto it.

   I like that they have an ipod that strips out the phone from the
   iphone. I like that they dropped the price of the iphone by $200. I
   love that the front of the iPod Classic is now metal rather than
   scratch-me plastic.

   
   The starbucks thing? WTF? Actually, it kinda makes sense. Starbucks is
   evil liquidfied and apple is evil in its technological form. Their
   union was unavoidable. —–
   I apparently skimmed through this too fast and missed the iPod Touch. I
   guess what I said still stands, though. I like the interface, but I
   want it to hold everything in my iTunes library.

   I was wondering what you were talking about, Kyle. You described the
   touch perfectly, except for the storage space, of course. I don’t mind
   swapping my videos on and off of my 60GB iPod now. I generally keep
   only a couple season’s worth of TV on there and one or two movies that
   I’m wanting to watch. But I don’t think I’d want to do that with music.
