i succumbed! 16GB version on order! it's the perfect solution. everything i liked about the iPhone without having to switch to ATT or paying the $60/month data charges. i really like that. my current iTunes library is around 12GB; the whole thing will fit on the iPod Touch with room to spare for a lot of my photos. whee!
a side word, here. lots of people have complained about the HUGE price drop on the iPhone. it's only logical. with the new iPod line out, there's a huge conflict whether to buy the iPod or the iPhone. and it's moot, now; Apple is splitting the difference with early adopters - $100 credit in the Apple store. Yeah, they could have priced it lower in the first place, but there IS a risk when you ruch out to buy the newest tech. it wasn't the price that made me wait - it was ATT. with the iPod Touch, now i'm really happy i waited. maybe down the line i'll buy the iPhone, but ATT's got to get better, or the contract does, or the market's got to open up (no exclusivity). have you noticed the ones yelling the loudest about the price drop are NOT the ones who bought it?
about the rest of the iPod lineup. 160GBs is really cool. i have a 60GB iPod video that i use primarily as a backup drive for my macbook. the new nano does look kinda fat, but it's almost cute that way. and i love that the shuffle is now available in {product} red. might even get one, just because.
