Touchscreen iPod. Should I wait?

No one has any clue when an update will come. Nor do they know what that update will be. Anyone that tells you any different has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

My motto is "buy it when you need it". If your current iPod if fine, I'd keep using it. If you really need a bigger/newer one, then I'd get a new one. You could be waiting 1 month, 2 years, or 10 years for a touchscreen iPod. Personally, I find that waiting sucks because you could be using a new iPod now (assuming you need it).

 

id wait, since you said it shouldnt be too hard for u to hold off, you mays well. but if i were you, id go for that sexy 8 gb black nano. pretty hard for the average person to fill since it only plays music and pictures.

 

i think we will see a major update to the entire iPod line before the year is out. if you can wait, wait.

 

If you go out and buy a video iPod now, it won't be a "month" before you replace it, that's for sure. Can you wait between 7 and 12 months? That's about how long it will take for touchscreen iPods to come out.

Personally, I couldn't wait if I wasn't happy with my current iPod. If you buy a new one now, you'll get up to a year's worth of enjoyment out of it before you replace it, and when you do, you'll be able to see your iPod for a good fraction of the price.

 

The larger the audio track the more strain it is on the battery just a note for someone else with long tracks. I think Apple suggests keeping them within 9MB or lower.
