    I'd get another stick if it weren't for the fact the capacity doubles and the price halves every year. My two 4GB iPods give me loads of room if I bring the sync cable with me.

    I could really put this thing to good use, but I don't know if I could buy it knowing it will be 1/2 price in the next couple months, and probably be $10 on Black Friday.

    well it's 8GB and fast. i really dont see any other stores making it this cheap. i think in the next few months it will drop from $120 to this price normally rather than it being a special but i dont see it dropping significantly more for now
