Nano looks cool though it's sooo small it should be a shuffle?!, then again the shuffle is even smaller now.

As for iPod touch, I wonder how long Apple can keep this product going seeing that it's really an iPhone without the "phone" part. Most people that own an iPod would surely own an iPhone so why would you want to carry two devices that do almost exactly the same thing?.

Will be interesting to see how long they'll keep dragging on iPod Touch line - unless they're planning to launch some other awesome features that will differentiate it from the iPhone.

I actually think it's the other way around - why would you need an iPhone when you can get an iPod Touch that does pretty much everything the iPhone does? If they released an iPod Touch with a sim card, there would no longer be a need for mobile phones.

Isn't an iPod Touch + sim card == iPhone?

Maybe but then I'd say an iPod touch isn't really a media player any more it's more like an iPhone. VoIP is cool and all but until they're as reliable as voice telecom such as mobile network (even that I dare say more reliable than VoIP - I'm speaking of NextG network mostly) I wouldn't use it.

As far as I know you're not protected with an SLA of some sort with VoIP - since it's going through an uncontrollable medium that is the Internet. However, with "traditional" voice you are - remember the s*** Telstra got into when the kid died because his parent couldn't call (from the bush mind you) because Telstra's didn't maintain the network or something like that.

I would like an iPod touch that is 2x as thick as this new one, with 2x the battery life. I know smaller and sleeker is cool, but goddamn it, MORE BATTERY!@#
