Pretty much.

[NomarTyme]

8GB is $299
16GB is $399

Damn to rich for my blood.

 

[joesmokey]

16GB damn it D:

I'm so tempted to buy one anyway, but how soon will they refresh it to 32GB D:

 

[Nabs]

One More Thing

Wifi music store

 

[Gary Whitta]

how disappointing. say hello to my next PMP:

And if Apple had released that design you'd have complained that it looked like shit.

 

[alr1ght]

A new application iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

 

[captmcblack]

ugh, so close to the perfect product at the perfect price.

...well, I guess I have to figure out the most important 16GBs of music I own to put on that thing

 

[Killthee]

<JHiLounge> 8GB is $299

16GB is $399

That killed my boner....they should have used a hdd.

 

[mattiewheels]

DAMNIT

should've started at 16gb and went to 30. for the same prices.

ARRRGH

Jesus Christ that's expensive. :O

 

[djkimothy]

I think the capacity is fine for the features given.

 

[Fireblend]

Ugh, it was too awesome to get decent storage. No sale from me

(11:49:45 AM) JHiLounge: you can pick top tens from all of iTunes, any genre you love,

woah, all rumours.

 

[lil smoke]

No e-mail on it either, which I use a ton on my iPhone. The two products compliment each other well, and the Touch doesn't eliminate the usefulness of the iPhone at all. My third most used App on iPhone is Google Maps too, behind Mail and Safari. Don't see that on the Touch either.

can't you still get your mail online? I know it's not as instant, but...

 

[hadareud]

400 dollars for 16gb?

They are having a laugh.

 

[TwinsDad]

8 GB is perfect for me. woot woot I bet it's $279 with student discount. Sollllllllld.

They stopped the iPod student discount last year.

 

[Particle Physicist]

wifi music store. free previews for all songs. etc.


everything but the capacity is awesome.

oh well.

 

[probune]

Too bad I have 35 gigs of music

 

[gofreak]

:| I'll wait for the second generation of iPod Touch. It's like they're starting over..they'll have years and years of capacity improvements to exploit.

 

[Grifter]

8 GB is perfect for me. woot woot I bet it's $279 with student discount. Sollllllllld.

No more discounts on iPods.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

No e-mail on it either, which I use a ton on my iPhone.

That would have been my killer app. Damn it.

 

[dammitmattt]

Same price for WiFi, touch screen, and 1/10 the storage??? Dammit...

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

WTF

I think that blog is crazy. it doesn't look that bad.

 

[borghe]

wow.. that is pretty damn pricey.... if it had more PDA functionality or was open the price would be a little easier to swallow.. but an ipod with a wifi web browser at $400 for only 16GB.. ouch.

ipod classic 160GB is definitely where it's at.

 

[JonathanEx]

iphone already has wifi...

Does it? Whoops. Then how did they make the WiFi antennae not look good on this?

 

[Johnkers]

I'm almost glad it's only 16gb/$399... i'm torn between this and the 160gb iPod "classic"

argh... see how much they are in Australia first

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Damn. Too much, too little. FAIL.

Well, at least that's a couple hundred dollars back in my wallet.

 

[Aleman]

I think the capacity is fine for the features given.

Yea compare it to the Nano, this thing is a steal. $100 extra for a web browser and a huge screen with pretty much the same battery life.

 

[arcader]

The ipod touch should have been the 160 GB HDDD model with the touch screen for that price.

Fukkin lame

 

[shantyman]

:lol

You knew people were going to say this failed.

WTF do you trolls want?

 

[Stan The Caddy]

ok f the itouch, i now hope that iphone price drop rumor is real

 

[Gary Whitta]

That would have been my killer app. Damn it.

webmail

<JHiLounge> A new application iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.
<JHiLounge> It's on the bottom of the screen, which he now calls the Dock
<JHiLounge> Featured, top ten, search, and downloads
<JHiLounge> you can pick top tens from all of iTunes, any genre you love,
<JHiLounge> top songs/top albums
<JHiLounge> Tap it, free previews over wi-fi for every song in the store
<JHiLounge> confirm with a buy now button and it gets transferred to the iPod touch.
<JHiLounge> Next time you dock, it syncs back up to iTunes.
<JHiLounge> You can search for anything in the whole iTunes store. Same prices, same selection.

 

[TerryLee81]

I think that's clever, low capacity+high price = still a lot of people buying the Classic.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i was expecting 16 and 32GB, but 16GB is decent. It's priced about right when you consider the featureset. And i fail to see how iPhone users are screwed, again, give the price and features of both the Touch and iPhone.

 

[GDJustin]

Does the iPod touch now have a Mail app like the iPhone does? I didn't see a Mail icon....

 

[cjdunn]

Disappointed they went for thin and not for a HDD.
Hm.
I'm back on the fence.
Hm.
One fifth of my music collection but the Web (mostly) anywhere...
Hm.

ipod touch: 16GB flash @ $350

Spoiler

That's my prediction

Well, close enough

I'll probably have to take a long hard look at my music/podcast collection, and if there's enough to fit it into 16gb (with room to grow) then I will probably start saving for the $399/16gb iPod touch.

Still no word on Wifi podcasts or Wifi internet radio -- that will probably be the deciding factor for me.

 

[Aleman]

They stopped the iPod student discount last year.

Fuck!

 

[Timedog]

:| I'll wait for the second generation of iPod Touch. It's like they're starting over..they'll have years and years of capacity improvements to exploit.

I'll prolly wait til 3rd.

 

[NomarTyme]

I think that blog is crazy. it doesn't look that bad.

Yeah, looks fine to me.

 

[Nick]

Touch would be cool if it was fatter and had the 160 gig hard drive. Touch would be cool if it had iChat. But Touch isn't that cool.

 

[theBishop]

Ugh... makes me want a Zune a little bit.

I need at least 30GB, and the Classic looks boring as hell.

Damn it Apple!! Make a Touch with a hard drive!

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

can't you still get your mail online? I know it's not as instant, but...

Yeah, but not nearly as nice to use. G-mail has a few issues when using it through the browser on the iPhone. The Mail App is much better.

 

[guise]

16GB is mine day one

 

[borghe]

Still no word on Wifi podcasts or Wifi internet radio -- that will probably be the deciding factor for me.

podcasting, radio, AND iTMS over wifi would be a lot to sweeten me over.

 

[shantyman]

wow.. that is pretty damn pricey.... if it had more PDA functionality or was open the price would be a little easier to swallow.. but an ipod with a wifi web browser at $400 for only 16GB.. ouch.

ipod classic 160GB is definitely where it's at.

Uh, don't forget the screen size increase. Watching video on the iPod touch/iPhone is WAY better.

 

[gofreak]

Oh wells, I don't need further distraction from my goal of getting a macbook in the next month or two. I just wish they'd hurry up and announced the rumoured new ultra-slim, ultra-light macbook!
