Anyone else quite interested in these? They actually look really nice, and that A5 dual core will probably mean fast goodness. The new headphones seem cool too, not sure if they are any good though.

The one thing I really wish they included though was some form of extra storage, like that you could connect through that lightning connector or something(since micro sd isn't cool :p)
 
I am totally interested. I really wish they'd quit making the damn things thinner and thinner and thinner. Not only because it's harder to type on (in my experience, anyway), but they can't stick a big enough battery in there, so you're lucky to get 4 hours of useful life out of it. If they'd left the thickness of the casing the same and filled the void with battery, it'd be a killer product.
 
I'm not big on the nano replacement. I like the integrated clip for using it at the gym. I could care less about video on a 2.5" screen. It's a bit of a step backwards.

The touch is a nice upgrade but with the proliferation of iphones, it seems like more people will just hand their old iphone off to the kids to use as a touch/ipod.
 
I'm interested in the iPod touch - and a little annoyed at the same time. I mean, I know it's going to have an A5 in it and all the other goodies from the new iPhone 5, but why couldn't they put an A6 in the darn thing? This is going to be a collossal pain in the butt for developers, and will likely mean they will program for the lowest common denominator. In other words, I think the only real A6 improvements, at least for a little while, are going to be from Apple themselves.

Dissappointed that the iPod classic hasn't changed. Either update it with a larger harddrive or kill it. Also dissappointed in the fact that we won't see a 128 GB iPod Touch.

But - the iPod Nano looks pretty neat to me. :)
 
I am sorta upset at the new Nano. I wish they would have kept the same form factor so that they could continue being used as watches in addition to being an audio player. In fact, I sorta hope that they would have designed it so it would have been MORE watch friendly, but that didn't happen.

Touch looks nice, but still no GPS, no A6, and no 128GB option. If they did those 3 things and set it at the same price, it would definitely be a killer deal, but I suppose we can always wait for next time...

I think they should do it like motorola did with the Razr. Make 2 versions, one that is cheaper with the regular battery and the other that is slightly thicker with a bigger battery. I guess you could always get one of those case/battery combos, although they do make them very thick
 
I just want more storage. Got 800gigs of music and would love to be able to put even a quarter of it on my ipod.

They really should have included an SD slot for the 64gb version(so that the lower versions can still sell without making the 64gb useless).

Then again, I mostly use spotify now and only download a few songs/lists that I listen to regularly
 
Starting price at 300 is what kills it. You could spend the extra 50 dollars and buy an unlocked galaxy nexus for 50 dollars more or buy a nexus 7 for 50 dollars less. To be honest jellybean on both those devices runs better than ios 6 as well and they both include gps, 1gb of ram, nfc and many other features. The galaxy nexus could be used on $30 unlimited t mobile prepaid for data as well if you want although it works fine on wifi as well.
 
The lack of GPS is a glaring flaw. For 300$ - it should have been included. Its on other consumer devices (e.g. cameras) and would have been a great addition for those of us that use them to run and prefer not taking our phones.
