It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.
(Said in 1949)
iPod touch is cool and all, though it needs a Mail application and a much larger harddrive and then I think it will be perfect. I do like the $200 price drop on the iPhone ... never should buy on first release of any apple product.
Well ... I think you should go for it if you are interested. I think I would be buy that or the Classic, though it would be at least 1 or 2 more releases before I would get the touch. I think the Fat is pretty cool and the Classic is a nice deal with that drive. Would have been cool if they did the fat one with a larger drive and just made it thicker.
Once I got the Apple store to work (kept crashing Firefox, on multiple machines, even different OSes), I eventually bought a Fat and 2 refurb shuffles (for the kids). I am still using an old school first gen shuffle after all these years (USB type), and though I like it (great battery life, ultra convenient not even a cord), I do want to add some videos - hence the fat.
Yeah, I really would have expected the "Touch" to be a little bigger than the iPhone, with a 160g HD instead of flash, and a bigger battery to go with it.
I can live without a mail client, but 16gb just don't cut it for me now that I have gotten used to the 5G.
