The nano seems great to me. But still the iPod Touch has some mistakes.

First: the storage is not enough. Yes, it's enough for games and some sounds. But if I want to use it for films, it's not. Maybe a new iPod touch - maybe called iPod media ? - with harddrive could help here.

Second: it's not compatible with apple-devices for older iPods. For example the camera-connector would give an improvement to the touch, because it's one great device to have a look on your photos. But when you're on vacation or stuff, you won't be able to sync camera and iPod unless you have a clumpsy notebook with you.

Third: make the app-store more transparent. Open it up for programs like Podcaster or stuff. It's absolutely not helpful to not know what programs can possibly be invented for the touch.

What about GPS and a camera? I think this is not the purpose of the iPod touch. Especially a GPS is totally useless unless you don't have internet. Thus you could see your point on Google-Maps - but without the fitting map underneath the spot. So why the hell do you want a GPS in the touch?
And a 3 MP camera is trash. I would rather want to carry a 7 MP professional camera with me, when I could sync it with my touch via camera-connector on the way as I've mentioned above. I don't need another trashy, blurry camera with me.
That's why the remote has also some buttons in the middle.
The users of iPhones are still beta-testers - not the users of Windows Vista, because on Vista I can already use copy & paste and I can install all kinds of programs there and not only the programs Microsoft wants to be installed. C'mon Apple: you mentioned OS X is running on the iPhone. That's called OPERATING SYSTEM. But until this point the iPhone is not even turing complete.
MacBook Air for a few hundreds? I knew Macs are expensive, but this a whole new dimension.
Aha? More storage than Apple? Which player offers more GB of flash-storage than 32?

Cowon? Nice player but only 16 GB so far.
iRiver? Only 8 GB? Are you serious?
Creative? OK, you got me. But the software it total trash.
Sandisk? Same as Creative. Might be okay if you like long waitings.
Sony? Nice players but not 32 GB.

All of these might be superior to an iPod in some small aspects - and if it only is pricing. But my experience is that the iPod is a machines that just works and has good or at least average quality in all aspects (very good especially in the software). Of course it is expensive, but that's exactly how the people want it to be.
I must admit: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

HP ist that crappy company that can't even port a printer-driver from 32bit to 64bit (mine is lj 1010), so how are they going to create an operating system?
Bill is much more funny than Seinfeld. He has such a great look, when something odd happens - that's pretty close to Leslie Nielsen.
Geee, I'd love to have a tiny black hole on my own. Well, actually I don't really know why I want do have it, but I think it must be cool. You sucking nerds, your iPhones are not better than my black hole!
Great! Everything comes together. At first, Steve Jobs will turn to the messiah and present the gate to heaven on tuesday and on wednesday all the foolish unbelievers will be sucked up by the Larg Hadron Collider! Yeah, it fits!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
