Apple introduces iPod Touch

Well, they’ve done it. Apple now has a touchscreen iPod, and it’s got some neat bells and whistles — it connects to the Internet via wifi and has the Safari browser built-in — but even the largest (16 GB for $399) is smaller than my current 20 GB third generation iPod. Given that I have less than 200 MB free on my current iPod, even before I add music videos, TV shows and maybe even movies to it, that’s cause for serious thought for me. Either the price needs to drop a good bit (which I think tends to happen after Christmas, or as we call it at the Hesperia Star, “bonus time”) or they need to announce an even bigger model tout de suite.

There’s also a new, bigger, video iPod Nano for $50 less than they were selling for a day ago. I’d expect every high schooler in America to want one.

And iPod Classic now is fully covered in metal and goes up to a whopping 160 GB. That may be bigger than my home computer’s hard drive, come to think of it.
