If these are any good (and are released worldwide, not just the US) it could put a bit of pressure on Apple. I'm really disappointed with the new iPod line and would consider a Zune if it offered the right features.
I don't think it will flop, but if it doesn't do well in the UK because of its problems (lack of 3G, MMS, A2DP etc) then it would force Apple to release the updated version sooner, with all the features that it should have right now.
I'm pretty disappointed, I really thought we would get the 3G iPhone, and maybe a larger 16GB drive.
I'll probably pick up a Touch and wait for the proper iPhone to come out next year, which I would say a few other people will do.
I'm still disappointed that it doesn't have A2DP bluetooth. Being in the UK I may wait for the iphone release here and hope that they add A2DP (as well as 3G).
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
