not everyone is jump on the apple train.

I love my sansa player like to get it re furb cheap. If something happens to it no big deal.

Same with cell phones My razor 3 t mobile was my recent upgrade just because my old razor took a walk. One more reason not spend big on cell phones. They take walks to easily get lost or stolen. Not worth the hassle of investing in .

As a generation Y-er and having first hand experience in owning the first generation ipod, the 2nd generation nano, the 3rd generation nano, and finally the ipod touch, it's safe to say that this ipod KILLS every phone and mp3 device out there. Not only is it my portable computer/organizer/wii on the go, but it's a great complement to any cell phone. I own a Blackberry Pearl and although I am stuck in a contract with T-Mobile, I am going to get an iphone and switch to ATT. I'm pretty sure I can speak for most people my age and in my generation. If you look on youtube alone, you will find tons of kids uploading tutorials and videos on how great the ipod/iphone really are. And you won't be able to get most Apple users so familiar with the App store to switch over to using the Blackberry store when we already have everything we need. The Apple App Store developers are always listening to customer reviews and creating free updates for everyone who already has that certain app. It's a no brainer.

I'm happy with the iPhone. I don't feel the need to store a lot of music. I prefer to listen to it without earphones stuck in my ears, so I'd rather just listen to it from the computer.

It is simple, everyone is now upgrading to the touch because you can access the web anywhere with wi-fi. Not to mention the apps for itouch and iphone rock. You can listen to Pandora though the wi-fi and download songs directly to the itouch. Now that the prices have dropped, it is a no brainer why the have been selling out.

Yet another example of analysts not knowing what they are talking about.

A lot of the people I know are looking to get iPod Touch, or iPhone, and let's be clear: Everybody has an iPod. So most of the sales that occur are upgrades, just as 90%+ of cell phone sales replace perfectly functional units.

These guys should sit down and shut up.

I've had a 16Gb touch for over a year now. I love the thing. But now I need a 120-160 classic for everyday use because of the storage capacity. My 80GB viseo is starting to show it's age and I'm a little worried about it's well use hard drive.

Apple celebrates its 25th anniversary continuing to bring innovative new products to market. The iPpod touch is being tracked as a media player but is actually a small handheld computer. It contains a Unix-based operating system (OS X), WiFi, Mozilla-based Safari browser, etc.

At 21 Million units per quarter Apple is now selling two iPods for every Dell Computer. (Dell shipped 10 Million PC shipments for 3Q 2008, Gartner). It would be interesting to see Apple break out the iPod numbers vs. the traditional iPods. Combine that with the Mac and you may have over 10 Million units shipping per quarter.

Now that the iPhone is the #1 selling smartphone for 3Q 2008, and Mac shipments are up 30% vs. Dell sales nearly flat, and their short-lived #1 spot lost to veteran innovator HP, Michael Dell must feel the pain as he watches his factories close while listening to his lame DJ Ditty on his Windows-crashing laptop. Dell products always have and always will suck.

Won't buy an iPod Touch until the GB goes up, like 120 GB.
