Hmm, I actually just lost my ipod touch so I'm in the market for something new.

These apparently aren't being sold in Canada so I could pay a premium to buy one off ebay.  Or I could get a new Touch since there is apparently a huge new revision coming out in response to the Zunes.

The new iPod touch is out. It has a new design: chrome rim, with a tapered back similar to the iPhone, but thinner. It now includes external volume controls as well. It also has Nike+ integrated with no transmitter needed (you still need the in-shoe transmitter, but it has an RFID receiver built-in) as well as on-the-fly genius playlist creation, all included in the new iPhone 2.1 software. It also comes with new prices, available today: $229 for the 8GB, $299 for the 16GB, and $399 for the 32GB. That's $100 cheaper than before. Here are all the features
New iPod touch: All iPod models have been discontinued in the stock databases, so new units are a given, even if they arrive to the shops later than expected. The only question is the feature set. Would it have a new camera? Looks very likely, as new cases pop absolutely everywhere. New storage capacities? It is a very strong possibility. A new processor, once again leapfrogging the iPhone? Perhaps new materials? We will see about that. Hopefully, it won't be just our imagination.
Same price as the Zune + camera and apps?  Zune is going to need a bit more to convince me right now, especially considering Microsoft isn't selling them here!
same price are you kidding? the 32gig zunehd is $289 still more than a $100 less than the similar ipod touch, but yeah i guess that camera really makes up for that $100 ....
I'd have to pay a markup from people selling it on ebay + shipping, so yeah, probably around the same price.

It looks like the camera may be getting delayed. Considering I have no less than two cameras on me at all times that feature really isn't important to me.

nice.. report back with experiences plox. I know at least 3 ppl who are considering purchase.


I was at my parent's today and my mom said she was going to start buying Christmas presents . She will buy one present a week until christams ... anyways I said to her well, I know what you can get me and she busted out with a Zune Hd I know .. my jaw, it dropped. I was going to say something small for the kitchen. Leik <$30. This doesn't mean she is going to get it.. in fact she probably wont. But the fact my Mom remembered the name and that I was talking about it, well it gives me reason to be patient .

So far, it seems really nice. The OLED is nice and bright, an equalizer is finally (finally! ) included, and videos look incredibly sexy. Still haven't watched a full-length movie yet (Full Metal Jacket or Hot Fuzz?), but the battery has lasted still near full even through about an hour of use. The only problem is the lack of an actual instruction manual teaching you how to navigate the menus, but once you figure out how to go to the previous menu, it's simple enough. Internets are a wee bit slow, but that's expected with this running off our wireless network and not off a network like the iPhone.

also, not too lefty friendly, but i digress

Ah, the wonders of watching Star Wars Robot Chicken Episode II on the Zune

Pity I have a physics lab to write up.

They need to make a phone out of it and really take Apple head on. Right now it's the equivalent of an iPod Touch, and if you're gonna get an iPod Touch, you might aswell just get an iPhone

I dunno, it just seems to be too bulky for something to carry around just for media. I'm a type of guy who likes to consolidate all my gadgetry into one single thing. That's why I use my phone as a phone, camera, mp3/media player and all the other shit you get with modern phones. No point buying something like an iPod/touch or even Zune HD these days IMO as all it means is extra shit to carry around.

That's just me though...

I don't want my phone to be my mp3 player.. other than that yea, I'd like to see complete integration between the two. I carry a laptop, a dslr, a point shoot, my phone, aannd my zune right now. Luckily my zune syncs wirelessly so that's one cable I can cross off of my list. The rest? .. in the backpack.

Problem #1 with me getting a zune hd.

I already have an 80 gig like new 2nd gen
