If it does i'm betting the next gen iphone will. 64gb is a limiting factor as well.

A backlit eReader is an epic fail.
I never appreciated this until I started using a Kindle. My eyes can feel a world of difference…

I say 600 but that's wishful thinking. I mean it's just a jumbo touch. ;D

At least it supports ePub which will force Amazon to support that format as well…

I take it back. They really put too much into this. This isn't a huge Touch, this is a computer without a keyboard. I'm gonna raise my guess to $1199 to cover all the software costs.

I'm shocked at the $499 entry point. A bit too much step up in price for the other models, but still, i'm shocked.

I like Kurt anderson's tweet
It's sunny and 51 in SF. And hundreds of people are sitting in an auditorium applauding spread-sheet functionality. You *are* a gadget.

Well, it's not sunny, but yes that is funny.

OK, I guess if I'm being realistic, I'm never going to buy another device that ties me to iTunes. But for a split second I did think about it.
I do like that it will drive the market down and an Android or Win device will have to be a couple hundred dollars less to compete with Apple's branding and marketing. And any non-Apple device will have so much more flexibility that I will have one soon (like a card reader or USB port for crying out loud!). Too bad I just got a Kindle and bought my Nettop (
Zotac MAGHD for those that care) so I'm sure Smackette won't let me buy anything before my birthday.

Not a good sign for Apple….
Says Smackette, who's usually a good judge of the feelings of the general public:
"Looks ri-tard to me. Just an awkwardly large ipod!"
