Well, what is so bad about Best Buy!?!?? What makes Apple so better?? The warrantly I think was less and lasted longer with Best Buy. If I take it back I hope I can get a warranty refund on it too!! I got the 3-year warranty for it.

How much do you think the new iPods will be, the ones coming out?? I got mine from best buy for $250, do you think the newer iPods are gonna be ridiculous, with entry prices at like $350??

What's the past pricing been like on updates with the iPod? Anyone know? It seems that the cost of the Macbooks stays the same when they do revisions, you just get a better product at the same price so Apple keeps up with the competition, so what about iPods? do they jack them up at first instead though and then cool the prices off after a while? I'd be pissy to get a refund at $250 and then have to shell out $350/400 for one of the new ones. No good!!

PS: are any pictures anywhere online at all credible or are they just someone's photoshopping imagination/pipedreams? You guys seriously think a touchscreen iPod is coming? Won't that be waaaaay $$$$$$ ?? And for all you runners with the video iPod, do you wear an armband or whatever or just pocket it? My old running mp3 player was just a tiny, light iRiver (now broken, big surprise), but i just used to put it in my pocket and go. Does that work for you guys with the video iPod? ...cuz it really doesn't seem that heavy
 
Because hackers will quickly make it able to place and receive calls over the Internet and you'll be able to get your mail on it and do everything you can with an iPhone plus enjoy a boatload more storage to boot. At that point, why buy an iPhone?

Because if someone needs a cell-phone (and that's just about everyone these days), a frigging mp3-player (even one with WiFi) with ZERO cell-phone functionality is not a valid alternative, even if it had 1 terabyte of storage?

Just get a cheap-arse cellular for those places you don't have WiFi access.

So, instead of one elegant device, you would have two devices, one of them being cheap and crappy?

I just don't see Apple, in less then two months, killing the iPhone that way.

How exactly would mp3-player kill a cell-phone? Can you make phone-calls with a mp3-player?

wow

So yeah, I too was looking around, circuit city, best buy, walmart, everywhere is sold out. It's gotta be coming out then on the 5th, I'm wondering what you guys think though, especially with your knowledge of previous iPod launches, will the new iPod be for sale on the 5th? or is it the Nano? or which model do you think will be available, if even on that day? Just curious as to what you guys might think or even better, know! :) I'm anxiously awaiting something big, I'm just not sure what it is going to be! Thoughts?
 
if it comes out on the fifth then it will be on sale that day on apple's website and apple stores, and will be available 2-4 days later at retailers.
