The way I see it...
1st gen product... sell a bunch because it's the newest/greatest
2nd gen product... update the feature-set and sell a bunch more (people go nuts on regularly updating small digital devices - Apple figure it's a good way to maximise their profit by getting people to buy it not once, but twice)...

Heck, the touch will be my third ipod:eek:
