I owned two of the original 160GB Classics. One was defective right out of the box and the other one lasted about a year before it crapped out. Those were the only iPods I ever had any problems with. In both cases the audio output was heavily distorted. Is that why they discontinued them for a while? I hope these ones will be more reliable.
Got a tip for us?

The idea is to be able to have your ENTIRE music collection with you, instead of having to pick and choose what you have on your iPod.
I moved from an iPod Classic to a 16GB Nano and have been regretting the lack of space despite the tiny form factor. I'm actually considering selling the Nano and moving back to the Classic. Being able to have your ENTIRE collection with you is awesome, especially when you're on a road trip and want to play obscure tracks for friends in the car.
Must be, because Apple needs no event for just minor upgrades. Something must be.
some people have more then a 10 cd library and that dont like the ipod touch touch because its real annoying to be constantly pulling it out to do anything with it besides turn the volume up and down
For about 7.2 seconds then all the new/unanswered ones come flying in and people will find something else to complain about

I'm already complaining and I haven't even seen the new iPods.
They will unveil the iPod Touch today. There isn't a doubt in my mind. The way it works: (EXTREMELY SIMPLIFIED)
1) Apple creates a design for a product.
2) Apple sends this design to various product manufactures, or at least what parts they need with order quantities.
3) Parts are shipped to assembly plant in China and are assembled. (This is when an EXTREMELY diluted extract of Jobs' sweat is sprayed to each product giving it that amazing new unboxing smell. Can't stress enough just how diluted his sweat is. If ingested in 1:1 ratio. . . It could render that man impotent.)
4) Working prototypes are sent back to Apple for inspection. (Most likely what we will see Jobs pull out of his pocket today.)
5) 1-2 Weeks should start seeing iPod Touch in stores. (If not sooner.)
How's this for fishy, dropping the iPod Touch all together, new tablet replaces the iPod Touch for the netbook-ish device, iPhone is sold without having to get a contract so if people really want the iPhone w/o the phone and bills they can buy it... craaaazy haha.
Hopefully the event will live up to the hype, although "analysts" on CNBC don't seem to think it will.
Slashed?
Ummm... Surely 'Slashed' prices would equate Apple practically giving them away? Id hardly call $20 off slashing prices... lol..
Other than that keep up the good work!

Not enough of an audience to matter, though.
They used to have a 120 and a 160 and then they dropped the 160. Tells you which one was selling more, doesn't it?
They're raising it now because they can get the 160 drives cheaper and thinner than before, but the fact is that not many people want even 160 GB.
If they did it wouldn't have been dropped in the first place.
There'd better be a camera on the new shuffle.
You have to shake to take a picture. Oh wait
Seriously tempted to get one of those 160GB iPods.
My 1G iPod Touch is nice and all, but the app store isn't all it's cracked up to be and 32GB is seriously limiting the amount of media I can put on this thing.

actually it was an 80 and 160. then they did the small redesign of the case and made it 120gb
Just out of interest, what can you do with an iPod Classic without pulling it out of your pocket?
I used to own one and was able to skip songs and press the play/pause button. Changing volume worked through jeans with thin fabric, but not with thicker fabric. Of course you could put your hand in the pocket to change volume etc but that's already half way to getting it out!
As far as I'm concerned, I can change tracks and play/pause on my iPhone with the Apple Headphones with mic (which also works on the iPod Touch AFAIK?). And I control the volume by pressing the buttons through my trousers...
So I don't understand how the Classic has any advantages over the Touch in that respect?
I don't even think there was a redesign. There was a slim classic and a fat classic. Keep the slim, shove a new Hard Drive in it and presto!
But unfortunately then you get the bad side of the iPhone, less capacity and thicker/heavier design!
