Aside from the 200 posts that are stating the exact same thing (OH NANO FM OH), did itunes 9 appear yet in the wild?
 
Bloody shame on no real update to the iPod Touch. Guess I wont be buying. And the Nano is way too small for my needs.
Ah well, guess I'm sticking with my 5.5G.
 
well, at least now when i look at my 32GB 2g touch i'm not too worried about it being an "older" generation...
 
Ugg, really disapointed in the Touch. I've had the money for a 32Gb third gen ready to go for a while now but there's just nothing there to make me upgrade my first gen model. The faster processor would be very nice, the extra memory a bonus but there's nothing really compelling. Really don't understand why the nano gets the camera and the Touch doesn't considering all the software engineering work has already been done on the iPhone.

That said, the new Nano is a very nice little package and will probably sell very well indeed. Just feels weird that it's now carrying features that the halo product for the iPod range doesn't have.
 
What do you mean? If you're waiting to buy one, you're not a touch user yet? Give it a month or two and the touch will be on parity with the nano.

They aren't going to update the iPod Touch again in two months, that would cause so many angry Touch users.

iThink that there are significant amount of iPod Touch users that were planning on buying what they described as the iPod Touch 3G, iThink they are disappointed.
 
Wow, the Nano got a massive bump. YouTube video uploading will be huge, the speaker will sell loads (despite me dreading it on a social level) and the FM radio fills me with untold glee.

But the Touch seems to have been utterly hosed, just as the iPhone was, for new features.

Dear Steve - next iPhone/Touch to have an FM radio please. Hell, a DAB one ideally.

Does anyone else think that they were going to have those features on the Touch but something went horribly wrong and they are postponing an actual update?

Sounds entirely plausible. Just as I think something went horribly wrong with the iPhone at the last minute leading to them not making any case changes.

Wow, I've never seen this many immature or exaggerated comments before. Is it International Cranky Day or am I missing something?
 
Decent keynote im disapointed by the touches but i plan on buying a iphone when my contract is up anyway. The fact that Steve is back doing Keynotes and itunes 9 was a great deal for me so i give this event 8.5/10
 
i have been waiting for an FM radio for ever

So has my wife. She has been using my fatty nano, but once I tell her that the new one has FM, I'll be getting her one of those.

The main reason she wants FM is so that while she is on the stairclimber/treadmill at the gym, she can actually listen to the televisions that are on the wall instead of just watching.
 
Apple needed to do something to bump up the nano.

They could have added the same features (FM, camera, etc.) to the Touch, but then there wouldn't be a compelling reason for people to buy the nano.

Yes there would have the nano and the touch appeal to different audiences
 
I'm thinking the "technical glitch" stories were right. I find it hard to believe they threw together a press event for that.
 
Why would you listen to FM radio on an IPOD?!

As if you didn't have music you liked then and there to listen to.

At football games, some people bring radios to listen to the play-by-play radio broadcast, so I could see it being used for that. And listening to talk radio if you don't have a radio at work. Otherwise......
 
Oh no what do you mean no camera on the ipod touch how are the highschool kids going to take new facebook pictures whoa is me...
