Click here to see the profile of this user 		Discussion Q&A - Opinion Re: iPod touch, classic? - 2007/09/10 02:54 As expected, Apple has introduced a complete line of new iPods. Are you thrilled that the iPod touch offers the iPhone 'experience' without a phone or the burden of a contract or do you think it lacks adequate storage and is limited unnecessarily by software? Do you like the new video-capable iPod nano design or did you prefer the 'slimmer' iPod nano more? Do you like that the iPod classic can hold as many as 40,000 songs or do you think that larger hard drive-equipped iPods should be discontinued in favor of an all flash-based lineup? Why or why not?

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Discussion Q&A - Opinion Re: iPod touch, classic? - 2007/09/10 15:24 I still have my 1st gen iPod: 5 GB hard drive, scroll wheel that actually turns, no dock only Firewire. . . still running on the original battery. I still take it with me every day when I walk, and it still works well at what it was designed to do, at playing music!

However. . .

I am getting a new 80 GB iPod Classic. The other models are nice, but the Classic seems to best meet the original promise of the iPod: your music collection in your pocket. My whole music collection is about 36 GB, so it'll fit easily with room to grow. It's half the thickness of my 1st gen iPod, costs $150 less, runs much longer on a charge, and it has the dock connector which will interface with my new car stereo. What's not to love?

The "touch" is very cool, but to me it's not really an iPod as such. It's a new kind of device, and it's making a new promise that will appeal to different people.

the touch had too little storage. i still think the 1st gen ipod is the most elegant ipod ever made. never has my jaw dropped so far as when i saw one for the first time.
