If that had been there, you would have complained about the space. If it had a hard disk drive, you would have complained about the fragility. If it had even more flash memory, you'd have complained about the price. If it had been $50, you would have complained that it cannot do your laundry for you... the list never ends so just stick it "somewhere" and stop loitering the forum!

Nah...for my needs 4 GB is enough. 8 GB is all I will ever need. So just give me current iPod Touch 8 GB with support for drag & drop files so that it can work with any OS & with DivX support so that I can simply copy my DivX files to it for playback & well...I m happy with it.

Since iPod touch is Mac OS based, I m assuming it will be hacked soon to enable divX decoding.

Yes, it will. Guarantee. Sooner than you think (unless you had your sights set on tomorrow). :D

Of course, you will then be complaining that it does not play them out of the box...

Good...then it will be a PMP worth while. See, Perian & DivX codec are already available for Mac OS X. So, it shouldn't be hard to decode on iPod touch's OS.

Add to it, ability to sync without iTunes, & I m in.

Of course, you will then be complaining that it does not play them out of the box...

As long as Apple doesn't refuses to fix it in case of problem, i m fine with it. I am also fine with a non-removable battery in a "PMP".

LOL! Why do you bother so much anyway? Who is trying to convince you to buy an Apple product? Not me; nor is anyone else. You are exactly the sort of person Fake Steve does not want to be seen with any Apple product.

Why do you have this weird assumption of extreme self-importance!

If you don't like Apple, don't intend or want to buy their products, feel that other companies offer better products at lower prices - then why, oh why in the name of God, do you feel the need to pollute every single thread related (and sometimes even completely unrelated) to Apple with your unwelcome "posts"!

Well...personally I would prefer a SE W960i, its just that I was trying to say where & how iPod Touch sux....its not wrong to advice people here to use there money properly, isn't it.

See, when was the last time u revealed the truth & flaws of any Apple product? Never, we are the ones who did it.

Feature deficient? What were you expecting? A friggin' BMW bundled with it?!
Click to expand...

Wudn't it be nice to have one bundled at this price point ???? :D :D :D

yeah 16 GB is definitely a downpoint..... I know that Wifi + HDD wud definitely be a power chewer..... and with so slim a body.... YET they could have provided expansion slots for cards like SDHC... which now are sporting over 32 GB capacity... :)

Nevertheless... i cannot take my mind out of it.... and i am gonna get myself one this holiday season..... !!!!!! :) :)

Reasons:
1) I can convince myself to live with 16 GB.... for such a beautiful product !!!!!

2) The WiFi feature is definitely definitely rocking.... !!!! :)

3) The OS will soon be hacked into and there wud be lots of 3rd party tools and utilities .... like for e.g. DivX/Xvid support. :)

The third point is completely certain. You'll start seeing native applications from the next day after its launch. Apple sensibly left more space on the springboard this time. ;)

I just want the Wifi and the PMP features. Given that I have wifi at home, office, certain hangout places, its a must feature for me. I just hope I don't buy this before the iPhone comes to India...I really want the phone as well...

People please pray for me that i don't buy the iPod touch....
