iPod To buy or to wait ?

There's no reason why Apple won't update their iPod line this year, its definitely worth to wait.

Just wait till sept. If they don't update the ipod classic then go purchase one right after the event. Problem solved.

Waiting is definetly the way to go, not will you most likely get a new device but the new features will help.

Of course you should wait, wait you can spend less money to get it.

Discontinuing the line doesn't mean that they will all magically vanish off the shelves. If anything, they may lower the price to get rid of the remaining stock, but they'll still be available for purchase.

I think the old adage "buy if you need, wait if you want" might apply here. Yes, others have advised that you wait and it is true that all of the old classics will not disappear overnight should Apple decide to discontinue the model. However, if you feel you cannot live without access to your music, buy now.

Personally, if and iPod died on me (and they have done so) I would replace them immediately, irrespective of whether an update or refresh is due shortly. Then, I like the idea of being able to have access to my music.

Cheers

If you need it buy now. If you wait, you face uncertainty as to whether the new product will be better for your needs. Who knows if there will be a new model, or if the new version will have a better mix of features, prices, and size?

The classic probably won't have too much in the way of an update, at most it may have a capacity bump so I'd buy it now.

I bought mine last week and have been enjoying it, but I'll be kinda peeved if I found out that there is an update; especially if it's an increase in capacity.
