Why is the 3rd gen more expensive than the 4th Gen? 4th Gen = £109 3rd Gen = £125 in Argos?

I'd imagine because the RRP is lower in general and Argos have yet to drop the price of the old one...

that IS the killer app of mp3 players. juke box in ur pocket. right now flash players have taken a step back because their other advantages make up for it for the time being while we wait for 80+gb flash units to become affordable. that days coming fast. i guess you dont have much music or don't care about that aspect and thats fine. but plenty of people have collections of higher bitrate mp3 that take up quite a bit of space. and now with video and apps...space disappears quick.

anyways, watching jobs give demo of the new nano makes it look a lot more attractive than when we just got wind of it with leaked pictures.

I have a 16GB iPhone and only have 5GBish left, it very easy to use all the space, I have only synched some of my playlists, (34 on the phone), a bunch of TV shows and a couple of movies.

But still find use for my classic, I rip my CDs using EAC and encode them with LAME so the file sizes are much bigger then a normal mp3 but the sound quality is so much better. I use my classic in the car where it just goes in the glove box and I have my whole collection with me so I can just put it on shuffle and listen to music that is not in my play lists. And also it be used as a portable HDD which is great for carrying around lots of files, ie more videos to watch on night shift at work.

A 128 Touch would be great but at a reasonable price as the current 32GB was just to expensive for me.

I reeeeealy want the new Nano 16GB (it would be my first ever iPod). However, I have precisely 14.5 GB of music right now, and a 16 GB device is really more like 14.5 GB. That means my entire music collection will only just squeeze on, with no room for expansion. I'll have to start deleting things to add room for more. It's not like choosing the best out of a much bigger music collection, it's just slightly too small capacity to sync everything Annoying. The only alternative is a Classic, which looks kind of ugly in comparison.
