If it were ME, i'd wait at this point. UNLESS you had a burning "need" for it right now.
I bought my 8gb refurb knowing i'd want what was new in September - BUT, i know that in the month of August alone, i have 14+ therapy/doc appointments to take possibly 3 kids to. It's a selfish sanity saver at this point (those appointments are 45-60 minutes away each way too).
I would have waited if i hadn't had that going on... instead i bought the refurb and stashed some money to buy the new model, then i won't have pages of "kids" games mixed in with MY stuff! LOL!!

A new 16gb Touch sells for $299, and a new 32gb Touch sells for $399. I get by fine with my 16gb 2nd gen, but if you've got several thousand music files and like movies on small screens then you might consider the 32gb one. There is obviously $100 savings on the 16gb, and $119 savings on the 32gb you're looking at. That 32gb is also less than a new 16gb model. If it was me and the money wasn't a problem then I'd get the 32gb one you saw.
I would wait since the new 3rd gen will probably be 16gb $229, 32gb $299, 64gb $399. So thats only $20-$30 more depending on the model and its brand new with brand new features. If this doesnt happen I am sure you could pick up the 2g for these prices on ebay.
