The111 0 #6 September 5, 2007 I have been waiting for 100GB to replace my 60GB (yes, I use ALL that space). To hear 160GB is a very nice surprise. As much as I hate the trendiness of Apple, the iPod is a solid device and I tested several other brands before I reluctantly settled on my iPod two years ago. Today, I am still confident in that decision. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but I like that, because I can put videos and music and documents and shit on there. I only have 2000 songs right now, but I get more everyday... And I can just get the 80 GB model anyways... "iPod Classic: This is currently what the Zune is competing against. The new iPod 80 GB Classic boats 30 hours of audio playback, 6 hours of video. They have a 160 GB version that boosts that number to 40 hours of audio and 7 house of video playback. The price? $249 USD for the 80 GB version and $349 for the 160 GB version. The body of the iPod Classic is described as having a "full metal design", and they're even thinner than before."Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That 160 gb model has 640 times as much hard drive capacity as my first Gateway PC. And is less expensive than what I paid for 8 mb of ram when I upgraded to 16mb of ram when I got Windows 95. But, back to the original thread topic....I'd buy an iPod Touch right now if the wife wouldn't kill me because I bought a Nano this summer. Being able to use it to check e-mail when the kids have control of the computer would be quite handy.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #18 September 6, 2007 They are also reducing the price of the 8 gig iPhone from $599 to $399. That is a pretty significant move, putting it in line with Blackberrys, price-wise. 180 gig - I can't even fill up my 60 gig Zen. I guess if I had a lot of movies, I would use more space.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a huge move. Some of the early buyers are mad, but what they fail to realize is that it's a cell phone and it was logical for Apple to reduce the price to stay competitive.

Mostly, it just made Ms. Pac Man run better for my mom. And the Atari 800 was my second computer - the first was a 400 which could not be upgraded.
