This is surprising that no one has yet made comments to it being a overpriced faghag's MP3 player and it's just another overly hyped trend eaten up by gullible Luddites.
Speaking of which I'm selling my two iPods in the hopes of getting the iPod touch and a iPod classic. In all honesty these two items are phenomenal. The iPod nano's now fatty and squatty. I hope the Nike+ attachment works with the touch

Can't Apple just make regular MP3 players these days? All this i-gadgetry is getting a bit too excessive.

well i say that the 160GB "media" player is excessive. i mean my laptop only has 80GB harddrive. who needs that much space? also i was talking to my friend about the new iPODs (he works at an Apple store) and he says that a lot of people come in the store saying "yeah i was working out with my video iPOD and it just stopped playing" well dumbass its got a harddrive in it. you might as while carry your laptop with you. point of the story is the Touch is a flash drive not a hard drive. so you can safely work out with it. etc. its "tougher".

Sucks, I wish they made it hard drive based, with bluetooth A2DP for wireless music.

Imagine how long it'll take to sync 160GB via USB2.0.
the shuffle's pretty simple. the nano and touch's memory capacity's perfect size for most people. the 80gb and 160gb are for people who cant live without their vids or listen to way too much music.

you're right, but what new gadget out there isn't overpriced to a certain degree?!
I guess with the excessively huge touch screen interface and the ability to browse the internet allows apple to get away with such a high price tag.

Holy crap. Job's really must be laughing on his way to the bank.
Everyone who bought iPhones before the price drop are getting a $100 apple gift card.
Interesting business..

I must say that this is pretty awesome! But for the price, I'd rather pay a little more and get the iPhone.
A guy in my research lab has the iPhone, and it's pretty nifty. Nifty enough that I think I may buy myself an unlocked iPhone on ebay for T-Mobile once the price drops a little.

i think that is because everyone bitched so much about the price drop coming so soon.

If Verizon wireless started supporting the iPhone it would be a tempting purchase for me. Unfortunately I'm only 6 months in on a 2 year contract and in 18 months I'm not going to give 2 shits about iPhones.

apple just offered 200$ back to any and everybody who bought the Iphone in the last 14 days, and 100$ credit of some sort for those who don't qualify.

actually... it only happens when Apple posts a new product. If it's a product from XYZ company no one complains unless it's fugly.

^I cannot see myself buying any apple stuff. But the teenage group is absolute crazy about these stuff. They don't have cars, expensive suits, watches...the only thing they can show off for is their icraps.

I do believe the Apple iTouch being aimed at the youth demographic, will soon be pulled from the market, as it promotes child porn.
