i'm not a fanboy by any means...in fact, i loathed the one ipod i ever owned, but I'd argue that the 40gig increase in storage for the slimmer classic model is an upgrade. however, it's sad to see that they didn't put out a larger-capacity thick ipod classic.
I doubt that, touch devices are too expensive currently.
I agree with you that the classic is probably on it's last legs, and we won't be seeing that again, but the nano is easier and cheaper to produce with a click wheel, and Apple isn't going to change what could be best decribed as a 'winning formula'. One day, perhaps, but not for now.

So they upgraded the 80GB to 120GB and discontinued the 160GB ? Is that what passes for an upgrade ?
By the way the best description of a fan boy is someone who defends losing 40GB of capacity as an "upgrade"
