I'm no fan of AAC but it's support is a bit more widespread than that.

i agree entirely!

I agree with Mr. Monk on this one, only because I have never sat down and listened to 30 gigs of music all at once, nor watch movie after movie on a 2-3 inch screen, kinda hurts my eyes after a while, anyways I prefer smaller collections that I can browse through a lot faster, rather than having 30 gigs or more even, to search through, But remember before you start telling me different this is just MHO, to each their own

There's a reason that an iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. You're more apt to drop a phone than an iPod. An iPod you pick it up and start it playing and set it down or put it in your pocket. The touch is basically an iPhone without the phone.

See ya

Itunes sells ALAC music?

This is one thing that I'm going to wait and see. Having wifi built into the Touch, we might see more than a portable music player. I'm pretty sure it's possible to make a dongle that plugs onto the dock in 3rd party ipod speaker systems and stream your music from the Touch. Also, there's a possibility that you may be able to stream your music or movie from your PC/Mac to your Touch. Now, that might turn the table on Touch as extra needed storage can be accessed from your computer conveniently. Will Apple play nice with 3rd party developers? Let's wait and see.

Unfortunately not. I must admit though that even if they did I'd still buy CDs instead.

If you have a Squeezebox, the Touch can control playback using SlimServer's web interface.

I guess the next generation will top at 200GB or 320GB. Either way, it will be able to take my entire 180GB ALAC-encoded lossless CD collection. Pretty impressive. Well, I guess I can always dump the Mozart and squeeze into the 160GB.

The new nano is tiny, smaller than a MiniDisc. The silver finish looks a little awkward, but the matte black is very nice.

They still have not arrived yet..I would so like to see them in real. Especially to see how the silver one will stack up against the previous white version.
From the looks of the pics I will probably go for the black one.

Oh, and thanx for the mods, Jude!

Edit: Saw the 80 gb silver today and it will definitely the black one for me.

Ordered the 16GB iPodtouch, upgrading from 4G black/white.


However, a first gen shuffle came in the mail today. Compared the same exact song to my 4G and it blew it away! I was just curious if the sound quality on the 5G's compare to the shuffle? I purchased the shuffle because of the praise I've read on here and was wondering if the newer stuff is on par with it nowadays.

Everything sucks but the touch. I'm impressed by the slimness, but they did nothing to change the screen or layout. The best thing they did was ad coverflow. Other than that, I don't think the new GUI is anything special.

Oh, and **** them for not allowing things to be added to the calendar. There are a few other things that differentiate it from the iPhone, but they command line level additions that Apple shouldn't have taken away. They could have had a small impact on the casual PDA user by at least allowing appointments to be made to the calendar.
