Has anyone actually received one of those yet, because I all I have heard is delay after delay.
Honestly I haven't seen any reviews of the unit. But I could have sworn the buzz from MacWorld was that the unit was shipping. In limited quantities, to those who pre-ordered first.
International forum or not Apple is still an American company. If it were a British company we would be talking about converting from the British Pound. But because the company is from the good ol US of A we will always be talking about converting from the US dollar.
He is going to wait for iphone 2.........period. You sound like a person overwhelmed with all the analyses of all the rumors and data and not able to figure out what is going on so you say just buy whatever...whenever. But c-dubs does understand what is going on and is picking his time and place to place his order on a specific product. Sorta reminds me of a sniper.
You _must_ be kidding!? So if we're talking Bang & Olufsen, all you bastards (in a lovingly way) will have to convert to and from danish kroner? Or what about Sony, iRiver and what have you? If you're willing to do that, and show me where you already have been discussing products from those companies using the local currency only, you may have an argument. Otherwise, it's as stupid as it sounds.
In fact, I haven't been talking about other companies.......just Apple. But of course, ultimately, I am not the person to talk to about this. I would think you would need to speak to a representative at Apple on this matter. I am very sure they would immediately rectify the situation to your satisfaction.
EDIT: ..........yours and sananda's
EDIT2: By the way, I am sure I've read many posts before somewhere online when they were discussing japanese companies. Conversions from the japanese yen for products in question were done all the time.
Only if there were no other prices, Olternaut.
The thing is, your argument is based solely that the company is a US-based one, utterly ignoring that said company sells their products world wide. If you have a hard time fathoming the concept of foreign currency, you can use the widget or look it up.
As I said, with your argument, we should always use danish currency to discuss Bang & Olufsen. You must be able to see how ridiculous your argument is in that context?

Damn...I need more space on my iPhone. Whatever, I will just wait for the 3G iPhone to come out.
All you folks need to relax. The truth is that you don't have to convert anything if you don't want to. People who are interested will do it themselves, otherwise they'll move on.
*However* if you are looking for sympathy about international pricing it makes sense to convert another currency, in fact, I'd go so far as to say that you really do have to convert to another currency in order to make that complaint. And since it is an American company and the US prices are lowest it makes sense to convert to US dollar. By doing that you are creating a point of comparison which you can use to make your point.
Personally, I'm not so interested in hearing "how hard" your life is that I'll go through the trouble of converting currencies so that I can be your shoulder to cry on. If you can afford anything from Apple you're not living such a bad life. Really, I think at this point we all know that international prices are more expensive, so I think it's time that people just deal with it on their own. I'm not asking you to like it, I'm just asking people to keep the pointless crying to themselves. Unless of course you have some sort of intelligent and new point to make.
I was actually wondering that to. Because the difference in thickness between the 80gb and 160gb iPod classic is noticeable. I'm wondering if this 32gb iPod touch is thicker in physical size.
Was wondering the same thing...my assumption is they're all the same (8GB vs. 16GB iPhone, 16GB vs. 32GB iPod) seeing as the only reason the HDD based iPods had a thickness difference was because of the capacity limitation of single-platter drives. I assume flash memory doesnt have to worry about this because they're small chips lined up instead of stacked, so I'm going to continue assuming they're all the same thickness.
Again, all assumptions and I purposely used the word assume multiple times to avoid people from taking my post as an arrogant spewing of falsities if I'm incorrect.
I like to cover my rear.
Ya, the 32gb models were available immediately, I wish someone would post a pic of theirs.
Almost there...
So the best ipod can still not hold as much as my ancient 40GB 3G iPod...
and looking on the brighter side -
at least 64GB is the next upgrade!!!! time to set some cash aside!!!
any news on the screens? are they still the less clear versions?
not the iPhone screens?

Who said the iPod touch was the best? It's incredibly poor on the move for instance (unless you don't mind whipping it out every so often to change tracks or otherwise adjust things) as it's lost its scrollwheel navigation, plus the hard disk mode and a bunch of capacity... if I wasn't such a whore for new tech, I'd be rocking a classic, not an iPtouch (cheaper with ten times the HD space!)
ditto...& to those who are commenting that they don't have anything to with "super tuesday(s)" here in the US-pardon me to express my gratitude for enjoying our democracy...still hoping that the new MBP will come out this tuesday....
TGIF...o, we practice this one too in the US

i ordered mine the day it came out...checked the order status...& they have not shipped out my order
but then, they have not taken out my money from my bank account yet i'll let you know as soon as i get them
I use the touch more as a PDA than an iPod with a touch screen. Come on, if you just wanted an iPod with a clickwheel then maybe you SHOULD have gotten the Classic instead of calling the iPod touch "Incredibly Poor". The iPod touch HAS it's own user-base that bought it as not JUST an iPod but as a powerful tool.
That's all very nice, but I don't know why you're picking an argument I never started. It's worse to control on the move than a regular iPod, yes or no? Yes.
I am well aware of all the other non-iPod things that it does very well, they were contributing factors to why I bought it. Still have to rock a 2nd gen nano at times when the touch doesn't cut it, though.
What was the original argument again?
It doesn't matter anyway now does it? Apple will do what Apple will do and I don't think anyone will be able to change that.
i'm gonna pick up the gear 4 bluEye eventually, has FM radio, remote and allows you to answer phonecalls through the iPt.. once I have that I'll like it a little more
What was the original argument again?
Great – let's choose to be apathetic. Why even bother discussing things, right?
I'm amazed you can't remember your argumentation:
The argument from your side was that anything Apple should be discussed using US$, because Apple was a US-company.
To show how ridiculous such an argument is, I drew the parallel that since Bang & Olufsen are a danish company, everyone should be discussing their prices in DKK (danish kroner).
As anyone can see how ridiculous that would be, I have shown that your argument has absolutely zero validity.
