oh, damn. looks like i'll be out $300 (edit: $425-- christ, someone help me) this week.
the ipod touch. w/ wi-fi. w/ safari. w/ youtube. and now, a wi-fi-based itunes store. holy god. His Steveness has delivered. hark! what's that i hear? the collective croak of windows fanboys the world over.
my only gripe: 16 gigs? seriously? dude. well, it's better than 4. i guess.
the church has also unveiled the new nano, which, frankly, is busted. damn thing is a hobbit-- the frodo of the ipod! but it has video capabilities, so there you go. also, they're keeping the classic ipod, which they've called, um, the ipod classic. you can get an 80GB for $250 and a 160GB for $350. so if you're cool w/ the older ipod's classic look, and more concerned about storage capabilities, then this ipod is your best bet.
i've never owned an ipod, which is strange because i'm obsessed w/ music, but i was usually spending any extra funds i had on gear and the like. i tried to buy a nano when they came out in '05, but that first week they were impossible to get a hold of. eventually i just gave up and bought a bass. but now i know why i heretofore have never bought an ipod: it's because i was meant to buy this one.
christ. must suck to be a zune owner right now. hahahaha.
