There's been alot of #####ing and whining (and, to a certain extent, rightfully so) about the iPod touch but seriously, I'm sure there are many of us who are perfectly happy with it.

I just placed an order for a 8GB iPod touch and couldn't be more excited

Coming from a 4GB mini --> 20GB photo --> 30GB video --> 2GB nano, I think 8GB suffices - and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who doesn't mind not being able to carry around 400 days worth of music.

Agreed. Apple could've given us a 80 gig ipod touch and people would still complain about wanting higher capacities, or asking for bluetooth, or ask for the damn thing to make phone calls! I love the new iPod as well and looking to buy a 16 gig.

Me neither! I put on my favorite 800 songs I listen to on a regular basis, 5 movies, and two awesome Japanese TV shows, and made it to 13.5 GB! I still have a lot to spare for a movie or two, and it's easy to swap whenever I want.

And I don't know about you, but you can always stream your entire iTunes collection via wifi on www.dottunes.com

It costs 20 bucks, but it would be worth it! The new future holds wild.

im happy, the bad part for me is price, and possibly battery...

I already ordered my 16 GB iPod touch and I can't wait for it to get here! People just need to learn to manage their music collection and take what they want.

Im happy with this. I only need about 1500 of my top songs and a few shows and movies on the go. The wifi is great. The size is great. I'm buying the 16 gb model the day it comes out.

I won't impede TOO much into this thread, mine's right below it, and there's enough debate in there already...

But....
There's a lot of people who actually WANT more space than that... And, if you factor in photos (which actually don't take up TOO much room,) and videos, come on, 16 GB is NOT that much space.
Not saying that it won't be a huge success, or that it's not a great player, but come on, it's NOT much space.

I'm planning on getting one, haven't decided which capacity yet. But I'm definitely getting one.

The capacity isn't MY main issue, I can manage my 1GB shuffle pretty good..its the controls that make the iPod Touch impractical for my needs..i.e. I'd have to take it out and look at it to get another song.

...Who's happy with the 5.5s? Yay for oldschool!!!!

The reason people are upset is because this is the first time, (as far as I can remember) in iPod history where the most expensive iPod did not have the highest capacity.

What this means, is that for the first time, people have to pick their iPod based on parameters independent of how much music they need to bring with them.

I, for one, do not like having to make a sacrifice to an aging menu interface just to carry my library. I also do not want to make a sacrifice to a smaller capacity than my 2 year old iPod for the sake of an interface and web capabilities.

Apple touts Safari on iPhone and touch as the "real internet" and not the "baby internet."

How about a real iPod too?

Im actually thrilled about the IPOD Touch, I already ordered the 16gb off apples site. I mean if you care so much about storage, go with the classic, if you care about money go with the nano and if you want it all go with the touch.

happy enough to have ordered an 8Gb iPod touch

now for the waiting....!

When I first saw the iPod Touch, I was almost ready to abandon my 5.5 80GB. For me, 16GB of space is alright, since I typically listen to 1/8 of what's on my iPod on a consistent basis.

A laptop-free fully-functioning internet browser alone is almost worth it. When the iPhone first came out, I basically wanted everything on it except the expensive phone features If iPod Touch improves the keyboard for serious writing (like novels) with later patches, I'll buy it then, or til my 80GB dies. Course having an iPod for home usage like a stereo, and one to go is appealing too.

Hey, no worries, I wasn't slamming you or your thread - I just wanted to bring the people that actually LIKES the new iPod touch *the way it is* out of the woodwork. Just seems like 90% of the posts on this board is some form of complaint or coulda woulda shoulda beens.

To each his own, 16gb is plenty for me but I understand there are people out there who genuinely *NEED* more.
