    i put in bad.

    i still like the scale down ipod classis looks of the previous generation. this one is less sharp, i dont like that its curved now, might be hard to rest it on table or whatnot. generally the design looks old. the old one looks newer.

    wouldnt know for sure until i saw one in person i suppose... who knows, the size and proportion might surprise me.

    The new iPods looked rather thin, so I'm not sure they have a lot of filling...

    :p

    ipod nano in a variety of colors is a great thing. reverting back to the previous nano style was also a plus.

    more for less in the ipod touch is a great thing, but i still wish it had more. iphone -cell is what i wanted. VOIP phone ftw.

    I like the iPods. Also to the OP: Please check your spelling before posting. I'm pretty sure you meant "Feeling" but if you want your post to be taken seriously, please write correctly.

    I wouldn't mind having a slightly thicker Ipod Touch if it could have a hard drive option. That is my main complaint about the Touch. I have never owned an Apple product, never used one, but the Touch may be my first. :eek:

    Well I'd also like an HDD to keep the cost down. Apple would charge $500-600 for a 64gb+ Ipod Touch probably.

    I can live with its drawbacks vs flash memory. :)

    they dont use HDD because it is too slow for their UI.and i dont think 500-600,i expect them to set price of 300$ for 32gb and 400 for 64

    you figure next september they will have a 64GB option, along with other improvements, probably at $399.

    I think they next time they update the touch they will probably drop the 8GB and just do 16, 32, 64.
