I am very disappointed that the rumor of a camera and mic for the itouch wasn't true. I was all set to buy one, not sure now, maybe I will get the 32MB version. Now I will look more closely at the Zune HD player.
Putting video recorder on the nano and not the itouch? Not understanding that one. First time I've been disappointed in Apple.

I agree. $399 is steep for any mp3 player. Even $299 is still pretty up there for 32GB.
Honestly, I didn't care for any of these iPods. I'm still content with my 3G Nano. The only thing I was excited about was that I was hoping they were going to talk about the next iPhone, but I guess not.

Steve Jobs says different:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/steve...-g/
Good read pensfan12. Disappointing news. I had the money saved for this. I was ready to purchase a new 32GB Touch with a camera and mic included. I was looking forward to possible skype capability and a nice portable organizer/camera with the occasional game. There probably would have been some sick apps that would have incorporated the camera and mic. It would have been a nice slim device to bring to concerts. I already have a 120GB Classic with most of my music. I would only have put a few of my favorite albums on this one. I guess I am $399 richer as of this announcement. I'm very disappointed in Apple over this.
So according to Job's, the touch is officially a handheld gaming machine? I don't need or want one of those, otherwise I would have bought a DS or PSP already. Over 2,000 games to choose from! How many of those are regurgitated clones? Popcap anyone? One copy of bejeweled is enough for me. I'd rather buy a PSP for $170 and deal with the "limited number of games", and keep my iPod classic for my music than drop $400 for a handheld "gaming machine."
Here's a quote from a random dude named Mike who commented on the engadget article:
Quote:
Or could it be, Apple wants people to buy an iTouch for music and apps, and then ALSO to buy a Nano for the video camera? I mean, why wouldn't you buy the Nano at that point, if you were looking to buy a pocket video camera? By not putting the video in the iTouch, Apple has sold 2 separate machines rather than an iTouch for perhaps $20 more (to cover the camera cost).
Remember, this is the company that wants you to buy a new iPod every year (its CEO's past words).
If only Apple was as consumer-friendly with its DAP lines as with its computers. Hmm, wonder if market share in each area explains matters ...
I buy into that logic.

Well the 160GB wasn't out for very long... Apparently its very buggy or whatever so they pulled it sooner then later and introduced a revised 120GB and advertised that. I'm sure you could ask most people and they wouldn't know there was a 160GB Classic before the 120Gb lol
