The iPod Touch is a seriously sexy device. I think Apple started up a think tank recently under the code name "Take All of Iscariot's Money". I'll be putting in some overtime this month looks like...

The 1st generation Nano was very attractive, but each generation since has gotten progressively uglier. I predict that within the next couple of iterations, you'll be able to buy the Nano complete with "brown paper sack"-style cases.
 
Great post Iscariot!

I still like the fact it's tiny video playing Nano though. The looks, meh.
 
Well, there goes my need for an iPhone considering the new iPod will be WiFi enabled and contain the Safari browser.
 
I just wish Apple didn't use that horrible streaky back of the iPod touch (shoulda used the one on the iPhone) but other than that I love it!
 
I just saw them too, right before closing time down here in Australia.

I totally agree, the Nano is awesome. So tiny and light, and the fact it plays video is brilliant. Unfortunately, I think the Nano and the Video share the same basic components, the coverflow has a low framerate (exactly the same on both, i'd say ~5-7 fps, choppy, and pixelated too). I'm not complaining, but coverflow on the Classic and Nano is almost useless.

+1 for video on the nano.
 
I won't buy an iPod until it can hold all the music in the world at CD quality. Even then, I'd still consider a Zune.

Is that all you want?

I want mine to hold unreleased music as well, at lossless, oh, and flash based for under $300.

Too much to ask? I don't think so... 🙄
 
Some people say they are fat, I say they are phat... ha ha. anyways. I love them. I want one!!! I really like the new UI

I won't buy a CD player unless it holds every single one of my CD's. And I want it to be portable and smaller than a CD.

Seriously, to people who complain, do you lug around your CD collection everywhere you go? You can load up 4gb of music (which is a lot), make a few playlists, and sync new ones every week. My music collection is over 200gb..
 
To me, the best choice appears to be the red iPod nano, or the black iPod Classic.

They look great.

No, I'm not very keen on the iPod "touch" idea. But I've never seen such devices, since I live in France.
 
in my little and humble opinion-

I ruddy hate the look of the Nano and Classic. I love the sound of the Touch, but 16gb? Thou hast forsaken me. That wouldn't even hold my music collection, let alone TV and film.
 
Your post makes it sound like the Zune can hold all the music in the world.
So which ipod are you getting Kilamite??
your a big Apple fan so i had to ask lol 😛

Sticking with my 30GB iPod.

Does me fine, plays my music and carries most of my tunes - could do with a bigger hard drive but then again a fair bit of my music is crap.

If I had the cash to splash, I'd get the iPod touch because it is awesome - but then again for an extra hundred bucks I could get an iPhone when it eventually hits Europe.

Tough calls.
 
Can anyone confirm if the new iPods such as the classic and the new nano have their screens covered by glass? The new metal body wont do all that much if the screen still scratches like a "classic" iPod..
 
i think i am not going 2 buy a touch untell a 80gb version is released...i am hoping they manage 2 get a HD in it
 
Haha gotta love this one:

I haven't gotten to see any of these in person yet, but the front surface finishes look quite a bit different from the previous Nano's painted / anodized metal. Much more matted / coarse. I especially noted it in some comparison photos with the 2G and 3G Nanos that someone linked in another thread. I think it looks good actually...
