I just want an app called Time Banana.

If I already owned the 3G, I wouldn't upgrade to the 3GS, but as someone who has, until now, been unable to purchase an iPhone (thanks AT&T for your 2-year contracts!), I'm definitely going to be picking this up.

It has all these great features, but if you don't have enough storage then who gives a fuck.

By being observant and realizing that HD video files are quite large.
@planetarian: When's the last time the iPod Touch and iPhone advertised themselves as an HD audio and video player? Oh that's right, they don't.

@planetarian:
That's actually what I would expect them to do. That is, if most consumers weren't morons. But since people will buy this anyways and rationalize their needs around the storage available they could have packaged this with 4GB and people would still buy it.

Remember all of the comments that went like this: "zune is so behind because they are coming out with 120gb, but ipod will have 240gb!!"

You can tell it's flash-based because of the size. Meaning that the absolute best possible outcome would be 64GB, but seeing as how they're already integrating a bunch of other expensive, battery-draining features into the player, don't expect more than 32GB, especially since the higher the GB the more batter it drains.

"The Food and Drug Administration says General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, is making inappropriate claims about the cereal's health benefits. Enforcement action may include seizure of violative products and/or injunction against the manufacturers and distributors of violative products."
But also man, do you get a hard on from the Pre? Because that is a hilarious fetish. You must go through one of them a day at least with such "love"!

um... how?
I had an ipod touch. HAD.
Music on ipod touch: go to the main menu and look for the music app... load music app... go into playlists.... realize you want artist... hit back... go to artists... pick artist.... go to album... play song
Music on zune: tap music... go into playlists... realize you want artists... swipe a time or two... pick artist... go to album... play song.
And every time you want to get in and out of videos or music on the touch you have to open that app. Want to look at pictures while listening to music? pick song/playlist/whatever, hit home, go to the pictures app... look at pictures...
That sounds really intuitive. On zune if I'm looking through pictures and want to listen to music, I open music, got to song/playlist/whatever, hit back a couple of times and I'm at the picture I was just at. Crazy, huh?

Look for music app? Put it in your doc k.
Load music app? My music app never "loads", it's nearly instantly there.
Go in to playlists? Sure.
Wanna go to an artist? Quickly hit back and go to Artists. It's not like it takes you more then 2 seconds to click "Back"

I forgot about the little thing on the bottom. Click "Artists" and walla.

voila

They find a profitable market, enter it with a first gen product, and then just keep spending cash while they make the product incrementally better and better until nobody can remember when they sucked. See: operating systems, video game consoles, etc.
They're not first, they're not best, but they've got the pockets to outlast anybody. And that makes them dangerous.

You, my friend, are talking out your ass.
Is this product good? Sure. But Windows sucks. And if it was all about money, Windows would be miles ahead of OS X and Linux.

Why does it get so side tracked if I go off playlist?
I play one extra damn song from Fiddler on the Roof cause I'm just a dork and it makes me navigate back to my top rate.
WHY WHY?
Does the Zune figure this out? Cause if so I would switch just for that!

But yeah, the UI has some pretty fudgy spots. I take issue with the "genius" playlist button being really easy to skim over by accident, but that's a minor quibble.
