I'd still get the "classic" iPod, if I didn't hate that one too. And only if it came in solid blue. They cost so much, but you can't even have a choice in color. Black or white. What a BS. Besides that, at 160gb, it has 4x the capacity of my desktop. (I live in the dark ages)
Touch screen is snazzy alright, but besides the novelty value, I don't see the point. It's just a mp3 player. And if I wanted novelty, I'd get this instead.
