Re: New iPods out

Today was a huge disappointment for me. I was reading along with Gizmodo's live coverage of the press event. I was looking to get a new iPod since my music collection has outgrown my 40gb. As soon as I saw that there was an iPod Touch, I was out the door heading off to the Apple store. (They wouldn't give me any info over the phone) I didn't know the price, or the capacities. I would get that information and make a decision when I got there. Since the normal iPods increased capacity and got smaller, I figured there would be at least a 40gb touch iPod.
After a stop at another electronics store for unrelated things, I got to the apple store. They weren't selling anything new, which was kind of suspicious. I checked back on Gizmodo (on an iPhone) to see what had been announced. I was incredibly disappointed that there wasn't a larger touch iPod.
I can't justify buying a 16gb touch for $400, that's a crazy price. I also can't justify a new iPod that doesn't add much functionality over the one I have. I'm holding out for the 80gb touch iPod.
