That is SO cool. I have one question though: is it able to update your podcasts without having to turn on your PC?

I doubt it will be able to do that, but that would be a huge benefit for me.

That thing does look pretty sweet. Although the home screen look a little empty since it only has a handful of icons.

True but that might change once third parties are allowed to make software for it. Hopefully this would something like the Nokia N800 with rich third party support as I would love to have VoIP on it and an IM client.

The price drop was probably expected – us here in the UK always get your stuff at over-inflated prices anyway and still $600 for a phone just seemed ridiculous. With regards to the early investors, you get what you pay for, as does anyone who buys any hardware early in its release.

The touch looks nice but they’ve ruined the Nano, if that shot is any evidence. The tall thin design was good, making it fat just makes it harder to hold and browse with one hand.

“The only downside, like the iPhone, is that it doesn’t have a hard-drive.” Is that a typo? How would it store music then?

Sorry Max, I should have said it doesn’t have a hard drive – it has Flash memory.

I’m guessing that the touchscreen display takes up too much room in the unit to be able to include a hard drive version with it. I think I’d rather have the touchscreen than the extra storage space.

That was my thought exactly. And now they’re all complaining that they got ripped off. It’s all supply and demand…the demand was originally high so they could charge what they wanted. Now the newness has worn off so they are feeling pressured to drop the price and pickup new subscribers.

Yeah, that would be a ripoff if it was a hard drive version.

New ipods look kickass, as well.

As for the 8gb or 16gb…I’m cool with that. At least you can browse the web, have an extra inch of screen, and ditch the wheel.
All in all, I only have like 2gb of music and podcasts on my computer anyways….and as for anime that I’d put on there, as well, I have like 50 gbs….but I can just take stuff off when I’m done watching. No biggie.
