Finally, an iPod Touch bigger then my current 5.5g 30GB iPod Video. Maybe now I can upgrade :)

Oh but wait, look at the price. F***.

I agree. $399 is steep for any mp3 player. Even $299 is still pretty up there for 32GB.

Honestly, I didn't care for any of these iPods. I'm still content with my 3G Nano. The only thing I was excited about was that I was hoping they were going to talk about the next iPhone, but I guess not.

I am very disappointed that the rumor of a camera and mic for the itouch wasn't true. I was all set to buy one, not sure now, maybe I will get the 32MB version. Now I will look more closely at the Zune HD player.

Putting video recorder on the nano and not the itouch? Not understanding that one. First time I've been disappointed in Apple.

Good read pensfan12. Disappointing news. I had the money saved for this. I was ready to purchase a new 32GB Touch with a camera and mic included. I was looking forward to possible skype capability and a nice portable organizer/camera with the occasional game. There probably would have been some sick apps that would have incorporated the camera and mic. It would have been a nice slim device to bring to concerts. I already have a 120GB Classic with most of my music. I would only have put a few of my favorite albums on this one. I guess I am $399 richer as of this announcement. I'm very disappointed in Apple over this.

So according to Job's, the touch is officially a handheld gaming machine? I don't need or want one of those, otherwise I would have bought a DS or PSP already. Over 2,000 games to choose from! How many of those are regurgitated clones? Popcap anyone? One copy of bejeweled is enough for me. I'd rather buy a PSP for $170 and deal with the "limited number of games", and keep my iPod classic for my music than drop $400 for a handheld "gaming machine."

Here's a quote from a random dude named Mike who commented on the engadget article:

Or could it be, Apple wants people to buy an iTouch for music and apps, and then ALSO to buy a Nano for the video camera? I mean, why wouldn't you buy the Nano at that point, if you were looking to buy a pocket video camera? By not putting the video in the iTouch, Apple has sold 2 separate machines rather than an iTouch for perhaps $20 more (to cover the camera cost).

Remember, this is the company that wants you to buy a new iPod every year (its CEO's past words).

If only Apple was as consumer-friendly with its DAP lines as with its computers. Hmm, wonder if market share in each area explains matters ...

I buy into that logic.
