I'm definitely saving up (and hoping for mid-year bonus which for some reason comes out end of this month) to get the ipod touch.

For me, 16gb is enough, I have a 5g 80gb ipod video and though i've loaded most of it with videos, I've found that I hardly use the ipod for long enough time to watch all the videos i've put into it...

I got to admit though, the huge size of the new 160gb ipod is ingtriguing but lets take a look..

From Itunes, an average movie is about 1.3gb in size which runs for aobut 2 hrs.. don't forget though that itunes increased the size of the itunes video files, you can easily encode your own videos at the original resolution which is more than adequate for watching on the touch's screen..

if i remember correctly avg movie sizes was abt 700mb, so having 16gb i'll take half of that to store 10 movies or equiv video, which is about 20hrs? (even at full res i'll get about 15).. and the rest for music..

then again, its just me, i've never filled my ipod nano much less ipod 5g with music more than 1gig, so the touch is just right for me.. and having seen that freeking video tour online where that guy used his fingers to "pinch" for zooming in and out of photos, I'm sold!! smile.gif

Next month couldn't come soon enough !

I'm concerned about the screen thing, i have a creative zen vision and its a b*tch having to tilt the damn thing to get a "good angle" to watch videos...

Strange that the PCMAG review mentions nothing about this

As mentioned, this is clearly a serious problem but yet no mention has been made by the PCMag review.. a paid review perhaps?
