Regarding the new iPods....

The new Nano looks like you ran an iPod though the wash and it shrank. I'm not sure the formfactor is worth it, but I'll more than likely be proven wrong.

iPod "Classic" Want. Just want. 160 GB of storage. Oh yeah, want. (Seriously though, the 80 GB would work well though)

iPod Touch. This is cool. All the features I liked about the iPhone, without the phone part. WiFi too. While I like the storage of the classic, (I use iPods to store diagnostic tools and the like), the touch is nice. Add Skype and a headset to it and.......... :-)

Luckily Apple is letting me return the refurbished 80GB I just ordered (Fri), and that will be arriving tomorrow or Friday (but I have to pay to ship it back). I'll replace it with a new 80GB classic, for just about break-even when you add in the shipping (279 vs 249+ship back), but longer battery life.

Agreed. I've been considering an 80 GB Video 'pod for a while, (to replace my 60 GB iPod photo), so the drop in price is nice. And I don't REALLY need 160 GB.......

Of course, I need to wait until Saturday until they are in the store.

P.S.: Your userpic has me really thinking about changing my iPod userpic to a route 1 logo with the headphones.

*Chuckle* I like it

[cahwyguy.livejournal.com]

So, does the userpic look better now?

*chuckle* Very cool. Especially coming from someone who uses his 'pod for travel music....

I was disappointed in the limited storage in the iPod Touch. It's awfully cool looking, but I need more room.

I'll probably "settle" for the 160 Gig (roughly 4 times the current one's capacity, and more than enough for my entire library), and await Apple figuring out who to cram enough storage into NAND flash chips.

I don't do portable video now, so I'm not missing anything.

I'm waiting until the next version of the Touch, at least. Then we'll see.

Not a big iPod fan. Then again, I didn't get any kind of mp3 player until Silkensteel trash-picked on for me. I'm using it to listen to books on audio during my commute, which I'd been using my MacBook for.
