I didn't expect to see so many things come up in discussion - poor sound quality - poor camera - zunehd - people really do want FM radio
I don't think the sound quality is that bad, I agree the headphones are not great but the reason they are not top quality is that it would increase the price too much. If you want AWESOME headphones buy them but don't expect them to bundle great cans into each ipod.
the old camera was not so great, the NEW camera that is being discussed in this tech article that was scooped on techcrunch is the awesome camera in the new 3GS. it is good and I'm not sure of commenters are confused or just being haters.
ZuneHD won't work on Mac so I'm out.... I think it's a great looking gadget but if it wont work with my macbook, then I'm out. it's simple.
and lastly the FM radio a few years ago I wanted an FM radio, but now Podcasts have really filled in and I can get lots of talk radio to help fill in when I don't want music. Have you heard commercial radio lately? it's terrible... they keep screwing over their best talent like Adam Carolla. So I'm sticking with Adam and I get his podcast and I haven't been missing FM radio at all.
I'd like to see the new ipods get the advanced camera in them surprised to see soo much criticism. the craziest one for me is the wish for FM radio because I think FM radio sucks now. (I'm in NY btw)
Your argument about the headphones just can't work. Apple headphones are very expensive and, lets face it, suck. For the same price you can find headphones with a much better quality, and you can find those in about any mall. No need to go to an obscure tech shop or geek site. To be honest I own an ipod touch, and the first thing I did was to invest 15€ into decent headphones and ditch the apple ones
FM radio is close to useless, but AM radio on a portable player like an ipod or Zune would be great. AM has most sporting events, talk radio, news, and local traffic and weather.
Anyone asking for AM radio on an iPod haven't really explored podcast. You can get just about anything today with podcasts, and more. News, sports, tech, educational, free audiobooks etc. etc. With no long commercials, and the added comfort of listening on your time-frame.
