I'm a little disappointed as I thought it was going to be hard drive based, not flash.

With the larger capacities and lower price, the iPod "Classic" looks better to me.

Hard drive based would've been nice.

I really don't think many would have paid $500 for a touch.

$399 for an 8gb Iphone

Ill just get that then.

Today has been a shocking day.

The Iphone price drop really caught me off guard.

iPod Touch will be in stock on September 13. Talking to Apple right now. :p

They're releasing 8 gig Cowon D2s right now... with 16 GB on the way. Touch screen capabilities with SD slot for expansion. That's a really high premium to pay for the Apple look in a touch screen MP3 player.

Includes wifi and web browser. Looks like it could also fill the needs of a PDA as well.

The touch is much more then a mp3 player.

The Touch is.....risky, but we'll see what the market does. It's much larger then one would usually carry around, it's creeping into the PDA/PMP zone, and crippled at what those are aimed for. However, feature-wise, it sports quite a package. It's true its much thinner then PMP/PDAs however...

The nano is a winner though, no doubt about it.

If the iphone was not a big seller then i would agree.However there are alot of people that want the large screen/touch screen the touch will sell like hot cakes.

That's the thing, for the same price(though half the size), one could get an iPhone. Another point out there is that many people nowadays already have a MP3 player(usually an iPod), and filling the market with more and more MP3 players is a move to be considered. Will consumers splurge(ones who own 1-2nd gen iPods) to get a new one(in less then a few years of ownership?)? It looks like it could happen, which will be very interesting to see.

My marketing class had a small introduction on Sony vs Toshiba on the disk format yesterday and he mentioned the Sony MP3/Apple iPod relationship as well, and with the new announcement, it's going to be one interesting class
