I am so getting a iPod Touch. I would personally like to play with one first...

i am not too up on the whole iPod touch thing, if i were to buy it i would just get the iPhone, especially with its price being slashed by a third.

but i really like the iPod Classic's especially the 160GB one, all that storage, all that play time, its like a dream come true

i take that back, maybe the Touch is a little cooler than i give it credit for.

I want a Touch!!!!

or an iPhone but I don't have AT&T so that doesn't work out... BUT I would like a touch it looks pretty cool after seeing the review unit!

i just really like the really long battery life and the really huge HDD of the iPod Classic, i have a lot of music, and a friend of mine just offered to let me rip their entire 500+ CD collection to MP3 as long as i give them a copy. i like just about all types of music, so when someone offers to let me rip their music as long as i give them a copy, i say no problem and clear off my external HDD

Yea the iPod classic is wonderful, but I think I want a touch...

I like all types of music too but not to much rap but sometimes...

i dont know, every time i see an iPod Touch, or like the video i just watched on the apple site, i want one of those too, but then i look at the battery life and the HDD size of the Classic, and then i consider getting an iPod Classic and an iPhone which is like an iPod Touch with cellular technology

Yea, I would get an iPhone but I don't have Cingular so that doesn't work out... haha

But just out of curiosity wouldn't it be hard not to hit keys in a pocket with iPhone but locking the keys? I have a chocolate bar phone and don't have too much trouble but I'm sure you must have to lock the keys on the iPhone.
