hahaa @ Batman
well as initially assumed the new ipods are not in stores yet. today was simply an announcement.
anyway the touch one admittedly is pretty cool. 16gb however is a fucking joke for a portable music player. BUT the wi-fi and browser capabilities as mentioned above somewhat make up for that (obvious compensation for the laughable storage capacity). it makes perfect sense though. with all the rumors that this thing would be stylistically identical to an iphone (with its crap storage), did you really think Apple would be able to fit ridiculous amounts of storage in the same dimensions as the iphone where the maximum storage is only 8GB?
clearly Jobs and his group of trendsetters haven't yet perfected a way to include large amounts of storage in these fancy new touch style gadgets. to me it doesn't matter much since im not one of those people who must carry around every single song i've ever heard. i'm pretty good with 5000 songs personally. with that said i think the new 'Classics' will easily conquer sales of the touch screen with their amazing storage capacities of 80 and 160gb and an excellent price to boot. it always makes me laugh how incredibly pissed the apple fanboys get when they can't have it both ways (read Digg.com and you'll know). really if you're into innovative, stylish and trendy toys then go buy the touch screen. if you want practicality go buy the new Classic.

The reason why the memory storage is so small is because these are using flash drives unlike the video ipods that still contain the harddrive. This thing will also be about 8 mm thin. |

Until apple offers a 40 terrabyte iPod with retinal image-painting technology, a 3-month battery life, and the physical size of a zippo lighter I'm probably going to continue to not own one.

yea totally. it's a completely different form factor, but lots of people are so bummed over it. there are so many other features of it that make up for it though in my opinion. still dunno if im gonna get one though. |

Now, that I've thought about it since my 5G is still going strong. I will wait until iPodT memory reaches 40gb or so then I'll buy it.

combo drive (cd-burner only) vs. super drive (burns cds, dvds, and toast). I called and asked if I could customize their entry laptop so that it contained a super drive (that's the main thing -- I don't need any of the other add-ons included in the next model up), but no can do. Grr.
that hp deal is sweeeeet. hmmmmm. I like Apple for the look and the portability (weight is an issue), but their prices are ridiculous. |

It's worth it...switch to Mac and get the midrange Macbook. Plus, you get a $100 off and a nano to boot since you're a student.
I'm still saving up for a Macbook Pro . |

^the date they expect to ship to consumers who purchase online is not the same as the date they will be available in apple stores or other retailers.

you could try going refurbished. it's quite a bit cheaper.
