Interesting that the Touch's screen is similarly protected as the iPhone's. That's good news.

Alas, there really is no bluetooth and its not just crippled by software.

Now that its apart, how about someone shove a hard drive in there so we dont have to wait for the day where 80 gigs of flash memory is $100...

Proves that there is no way to upgrade to larger memory. Time to compress my MP3 library...

I just wish that Apple decided to use two of Toshiba's 16 GB chips, giving a maximum capacity of 32 GB (Maybe offering it as a third capacity). Here are the chips: http://www.toshiba.com/taec/Catalog/Line.do?familyid=7&subfamilyid=900116&lineid=900195
If they did that, it would have been a much more viable product for me, and I'd happily drop the money for it now. Now I'm trying to debate whether to replace my 5G iPod with the new 160GB Classic, giving me plenty of room for growth (I have 45 gigs of music and videos for my iPod) or get the Touch and only sync the bare essentials of my music.

@Nick Fox,
Absolutely agree. With Apple's extensive negotiating power in the NAND supply chain, they could get good prices on 32 GB Flash.
(In fact, 32 GB Flash hard drive replacements are not *that* much more than the top end iPod.)
A 32 GB choice would have been a no-brainer for all but the most avid "I HAVE to take it all with me" crowd.
Eventually they will I guess. Hopefully sooner rather than later (is Macworld SF too soon?)
In the meantime, cleverly designed Smart Playlists are a good way of filtering recently played music off and on the iPod if you sync frequently (avoiding "dark matter" where you have stuff on the iPod that you haven't played for 6 months).
