200 GB Classic?
Not sure, but I think the single platter drives have a capacity of 120 gigs, which would make the two platter drive a 240 gig iPod. Sign me up!

To be honest, not sure if I'd buy one of those. I think the silver Classic is perfection. I bought one a few weeks ago but returned it because of build quality issues.
1. Never say never. The Touch may get one you never know. open your mind more
2. I agree. kids, go outside and play in traffic. the nano wont get a touch. its to small.
They have a 160GB classic man
YUCK! I want a product that looks good not one that looks like a 5 year old drew it I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE SPACE ON THE TOUCH!!
same here. I would pay a lot more just to have a HD touch. the touch has apps that take up space along with movies and music.....
Maybe I've opened my mind enough to see that a HDD iPod touch is very unlikely.1. Never say never. The Touch may get one you never know. open your mind more
160 GB double-platter. I'm talking about 120 GB single-platter and 240 GB double-platter.They have a 160GB classic man
Isn't that like what people said about the "fat" iPod nano leaks last year?
And speaking of 5-year-olds
(There's a rainbow!)

1. and how? I bet you said the same exact thing about macs running intel. I also bet you went to the macworld keynote in 1997 and were one of the ones yelling at steve when he wanted to partner with microsft.
2. oh ok
3. All they said was "its fat" noting about 5 year olds. this btw is more worse
Apple is transitioning from HDD to Flash.
Tell me how do you know Apple will go back to HDD?
Doesnt mean they could drop the classic and offer the touch in HD just untill flash gets cheeper.
They'll keep HDD's in the line-up to maintain their price negotiating position over the flash memory suppliers.
That would be cool--a cross between an iPod and a Garmin GPS watch!!!
Well at this point I think reading through all these comments, that if there WERE a GPS included in the new iPod Touch it would make the Nike App work a heck of a lot better! Then we'd get the same feature that the iPhone would have!!!
But then all of this is very limited to what he knows as a software developer. He's only going on numbers and release notes on what those minor changes are.
I personally have a bit of a hard time seeing how it would change in size, or form based only on numbers and release notes from Apple, but then I don't write Nike Application software.
He does say that it's going to be different on some important notes which can only be done if the hardware is updated to match the functions they are introducing or want to introduce.
They will launch the Nike app as apart of the new campaign to the updated iPods. He says it's going to be a free download or a purchase via the App store... Free with a voucher I assume. Again, marketing department, software department etc. they don't talk to each other so what he hears is basically only rumors at this point. But his rumors from Nike camp must be closer to the truth than most others out there... we hope.. :/
So yeah, Nike + iPods are not going to be a more wider market. Nano was great, but the iPod Touch will be for the hardcore runners with instant gratification. (Hence if you run far enough and get lost you'll always know where you'll end up...
)I just hope Nike+ doesn't turn solely to GPS. I run on an indoor track everyday and I doubt I would get a strong enough signal.
In other words, the Nike+ shoe chip is probably here to stay.

From what I understand that's not going to change either, but you'll have an additional option.
Though come to think of it, it's NIKE and much like APPLE, it's not going to say no to a product that has a certain life expectancy and we're forced to go out and spend more money to buy a new one. :'
So I'm thinking the shoe chip is also here to stay. Maybe it's just apart of a new update too.
I see your point though if it's GPS alone it's not going to help those who jog indoors. But I don't think it's going to be a problem.
I wish I could get a free working version of that Nike app now... I saw it on his iPod Touch and got pretty envious. But then it was a beta so I don't dare to put that on my iPod... I'm too chicken to do that. I've got a neatly organized iPod, loosing the data would be a very tedious backup process I don't feel like going through.
I noticed BestBuy, WalMart, RadioShack, and both San Francisco State University and the University of California, Berkeley had limited supplies of iPods and iPod Touch. Most noticeable was the waiting period of 1-2 weeks for the iPod Touch Back-To-School Rebate customers who bought MB, MBA, MBP at the campus stores. I took one look at that situation and left the campus in a hurry to get to the Apple Store to get some...
NO 32GB NANOS
NO GPS OR HDD iPts
Really people? what were you thinking. wiki the iPod line ups, you will find a pattern to them (yet the current hdd sizes are a bit large for the greater masses)
Sorry for yelling!!

Probably just have 8GB and 16GB iPod Nanos.
For iPod Classic, probably have 120GB and 160GB sizes.
iPod Touch, 8-32GB (reduced prices, better specs) 64GB version wont be out til early 2009.

I can agree that we likely won't get these improvements, but your point about apple limiting size based on what the greater masses need I find lacking..
The "greater masses" generally don't know what they need or want and are fixated that bigger and newer is always better.
So what if their iPod still has 4GB free, This one is BIGGER!..
Plus, at least in my own experience, my little sister-in-law jams hers full of useless videos, so the extra space could actually go to music, go figure.
I doubt there is any way to make a nano with over 16 bg at this time and keep it in the cost range of the nano.
Hopefully they boost up the iPod touch substantially. It's an awesome little device if you can't use an iPhone but want the handheld wifi/apps. I just don't find 8B worth $300. 16GB, yes. I'm just filling my 4GB nano after 2 years, but could drop tons of video into a device.
But you yelled in color, so it was cool.

I know people are trying to bring back the 1970's/1980's wit hthe clothes, and hair styles - what next. Apple going back to using the rainbow logo
*Good Grief that picture posted huge!!! Sorry*
