I really want the ipod touch, but that measly 16GB is such a downer. Why couldn't they add a hard drive instead.

Pretty good conference -- funny to see all the iPhone freaks owned so hard so soon.  $200 pricedrop was an awesome move.

I will probably look into picking up a refurbished 8gb iPhone or the 16gb iPod Touch.  I've been on a 2gb nano for a year now so pretty much anything is an upgrade for me.  I don't really care about being able to carry around my entire music collection.....seems like it'd be a hassle to search/shuffle through that much music, even using the iPod interface.
Title: Re: Is anyone else all choked up waiting on the new ipod?

If you're interested the apple store has the 4GB iPhone on clearance for $299 new.
Title: Re: Is anyone else all choked up waiting on the new ipod?
Post by: border on September 05, 2007, 04:40:35 PM
Not a very good deal when the refurbished 8gb iPhone is a mere $350.  If they had refurbished 4GB phones for $250 though, then I'd snap it up.

I'd be wary with refubs though. A friend bought a video ipod or whatever there called these days. It had light blemishes, and minor scratches on it.

I missed this announcement in all the jury dutying

$399 iPhone, lolol. sucks to have bought an iPhone.

...wait, the "touch" is 8GB and 16GB only? USELESS. FUCKING USELESS.

I see the new video also takes "postage-stamp sized screen" to its literal conclusion

Show me a DAP with 160GB for $349. And fuck off with that Archos bullshit. The model is shown leaning over from the weight of carrying that fucking garage door opener looking thing.

Well after this ghastly news today I have decided the following;

- no new apple purchases here
- my 8 GB iphone becomes my portable music player I keep in my pocket - its better than the ipod touch anyway.
- my 30 GB ipod becomes my portable music collection HDD. Go to a party and need to bring my collection? 30 GB ipod is it. Need to play music around the house using one of my many docking stations? 30 GB ipod is it.....
- I just sold my ceramic white JP PSP to a coworker today for $150
- next week I buy a new slim NTSC black PSP

that is all....

ipod touch is 8 and 16 GB of storage....160 GB is for the new ipod classic....(non touch screen model)

160 and a Nano for me.

The Touch, well, 16 gigs for 399 is ehhhh enough, but the thing is, I'm not sure if I'd go for one if they held 160 gigs.  I like being able to manage my iPod when it's in my pocket, without having to look at it.  I wouldn't even be able to skip songs with the Touch without pulling it out of my pocket to look at.

Yes, but you can feel the wheel on current ipods, so you can tell what you are doing.

Yes, but you can feel the wheel on current ipods, so you can tell what you are doing.

A touchscreen app on the Ipod touch could do the same thing, without the different feeling finger zone...you know that both the ipod, iphone and ipod touch support those headphone line remotes right?

Well im sure its just like the touch screen on the iphone - so it could easially differentiate between you sliding your finger around the wheel, and pressing on one of the 4 points to click.
Title: Re: Is anyone else all choked up waiting on the new ipod?
Post by: brawndolicious on September 05, 2007, 08:36:48 PM
it'd be pretty flawed.  most people would probably want something that connects between their ipod and headphone that has a scroll wheel instead.  but that would be huge.

Why would it be flawed? I am an iphone power user and the screen can handle it easially....

The 'remote' you mention that is on the line between the ipod and the headphones already exists.

anyway - iphone touch screen is the best and most accurate I have ever used...this "classic ipod scroll wheel" app idea for the screen is EASIALLY pulled offf and easially just as accurate as touching the old wheel on a legacy ipod....

Well good for it being just as accurate.  Too bad I can't accurately use it without looking at the face of the device to see where the wheel is!

:bow

i got an iphone right after jobs made that announcement.  literally hopped in my car and went straight to the mall during my lunch break.  best $299 ever spent on an apple product.  i don't care for the music features as much as the internet mobility and simple pda functions.  in fact, i uploaded a bunch of albums yesterday thinking the drive would fill up fast, but i can put a shitload more if i wanted.  also helps that i'm an at&t wireless customer.  iphone = gadget of the year/forevers
