Personally, I'm disapointed. The iPod's price is awful, the HD size is minimal, and just the whole thing underwhelms me. If they just put a smaller capacity, bigger dimensional hard drive in the current shel, they could have sold more for cheap. Now they have another 20th Annaversary Mac & Cube on their hands.

The drive maxes at 10 mb's a sec period... might be "fast" but we are all human and we want somthing faster and better, the media reader is slow, and writes at something like 2 mb a sec, which is the only reason I would buy it to begin with. Also, firewire is pointless when computers come stock with USB 2.0 now, so its time for the ipod to make the jump also.
