I'm not even going to tell the wife that they released a new one. I'll just keep her in the 8GB model that she has now. No need to rock the boat.

heh, I guess I'd rather have the 16gb one with a quality set of earbuds than just a 32gb one ,

16GB memory on mobile ? What's the future ? Maybe one day we can see a mobile with a 250GB Solid state drive.Seriously, i don't see any need for having 16GB in a mobile.

Well, people didn't see a need for 20/30Gb in a PVP 5 years ago, and now with HD movies and other content we didn't really have "back in the day", we'll surely be looking for more storage

one of my friends found a 500gig HDD on eBay that he managed to fit in his 5.5G iPod, he has a custom made OS too, with Windows themes!!!
