I love the buttons being integrated into the wheel but I like the regular rounded corners around the outside. Maybe I have to see it in person though. More colors=good.

In the accesories they have these new in-ear headphones, they look good, better than the ones you get with the Ipod. Also the armband holder is silly. I like the green one.

it just means you have to be selective about what you put on it, i'm sure your not going to listen to more than 1000 songs in one go. I'd rather have all my music on it too but I can't afford the more expensive ones.

with such a small price difference between the 4 and 10gb models, i would just spend a bit more and get 10 gb instead

I just got the 20 gig and was almost regreting not paying the extra 100 bucks for the 40 gig model. But I think this one will do me fine. It barely leaves my side. I love how you can store your contacts in it.

i hope this version hasn't got the same battery problem as the normal one...
and yes, i prefer the design of the normal iPod and it is still too expensive.
different colours is a good thing though.

I wish they'd gone lower price and perhaps solidstate - Flash Cards - storage rather than yet another Hard Disc....
But yeah, its a cool design and I doubt Apple'll have any problems selling as many as they can make....

Q: Is the iPod's battery replaceable?
A: Yes. Apple has an official battery replacement program for $99. You send your iPod in (any model iPod), and Apple will replace the battery for $99. AppleCare programs for iPod will also soon be available in Europe, and are expected soon in other markets.
Q: Is the iPod's battery user-replaceable?
A1: Yes and no. The iPod's case is not designed to be opened, so, in that respect, it's not what would generally be referred to as "user-replaceable". But, the case can be opened, and there are several third parties that offer replacement batteries for the iPod, such asiPodBattery.com (instructions, with pictures: original, non-"dockable" iPod, new, slim "dockable" iPod) and PDASmart, for as low as $49. Some will even do the replacement for you if you send it in.

oh yes, I saw that one too. nice.
I have this one:
click
not quite the looker like yours, but it does the trick and wasn't expensive.
I love being able to fit 24 hours of music on one cd. do take heed on the ATRAC-system - the soundquality is pretty good, but the encoding-program is crap (you can't save ATRAC-tracks that you are making + a pretty unstable program, prone to sudden collapses = ARGH).

Because of its exceptional performance and quality, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4, 3GPP, and 3GPP2 specifications and is the new audio codec of choice for Internet, wireless, and digital broadcast arenas. AAC provides audio encoding that compresses much more efficiently than older formats such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

did they make the battery life longer?
My mp3 gives me ~7-8 hours on one AAA battery, and that still sucks, but at least I can bring a spare battery around if I need it.
3-4 hours just sucks ass

yes, 256k and up is better, I think.
but ATRAC is pretty good and does take a lot less space.

Expensive. Not enough storage space. Crap colours.
"Apple engineers squeezed all the best features of iPod into a case weighing just 3.6 ounces"
I'd rather have the 3.6 ounces in skunk thanks.
The original's a classic. They've done good with the buttons under the wheel but that's it. These new ones stink of poor quality.

i didn't know you could buy replacement batteries from other companies... and knowing is half the battle
they look pretty cool (except every colour but silver)..... but like other people say, it might be worth getting the bigger one for only like 100 dollars more, for many times the storage space
would have to compare the size of both in person though
