    This would be nice for my 5th gen iPod if only it was a PATA drive. Toshiba does has a 240GB drive for it though..

    If you read the information on their site, this really does make perfect sense for the market they are going after.

    @Bababoof is amazing: Two generations ago, Apple had an 80GB and 160GB. The generation before this, they decided to get rid of both and instead offer a single 120GB. Now, it appears they "went back" to the 160GB to replace the 120GB, though it's innards might or might not be different, as there was some type of upgrade.

    Why they did this, I'm not sure.

    @FlameEye: The old 160GB model was thick, about the size of a cigarette pack. The 120GB model was the thinner, standard Classic size. This new 160GB model is also the standard size. They dropped the original 160GB model because of the physical size of the device (which also took a nasty toll on the battery).

    Joke's over. I know all about the 160GB classic, having had two in my apartment with dud power connectors. My ex-gf's 160GB broke almost exactly a year ago.

    I won't ever buy a classic. They were unreliable hunks of junk then and I have no reason not to believe the classic iPod classic won't also be a dud.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Really? Then why does my 1.5-year-old iPod Classic tell me that it has 160 GB of storage? Is it lying?

    @OMG? Ponies!:
    Apple actually did have a 160gb Classic. They used to come in 80gb and 160gb, then they released the 120 and discontinued the other two.

    What are you talking about, Frooch? Apple never had a 160GB classic. 120 GB has ALWAYS been the largest capacity. This classic is something new.

    Sheesh - does Gizmodo ever fact-check?

    @OMG! Ponies!: Actually... there was a 160 GB iPod Classic. Before the 120, there was an 80 and a 160. They compromised on the 120 because they said the 160 wasn't selling well enough.

    @superberg: Better question is, who has 160GB worth of music? Even at 320kb/s, you'd have to have a massive library of music to get anywhere near that.

    Heh. What I want is NOT what most other people want. I cannot use a Touch with gloves, nor cannot use the touch wheel on the Nano with gloves - I would like these "game controllers", the ones with announced support in the latest iPhone/Touch firmware, like the zeemote to be announced - and confirmed useable for the GUI. The current remotes (like the official FM tuner remote, iJet, EZClick), do not allow full use of the GUI. While I do not have a Touch, I would gladly buy one for this reason.

    I also want a water resistant iPod. I don't plan on swimming with it, so I shouldn't need an Otterbox (which does not allow access to the dock) or any other case. Just want more sweat resistance and a bit of rain resistance. Cases are bulky.

    Lastly, the wireless freedom of BT audio is great for me - enough of an advantage to deal with a hit in quality of audio. The Touch now has BT audio, but would prefer a nano - this is a music device for me, I don't need the features of the Touch.

    Again, a dream list.

    So if the classic does die out, which I think is unlikely, does the nano just become the iPod?

    Beatles special edition iPod - possibly the Yellow Submarine iPod of legend.

    Comes with the full back catalog already installed.

    Paul, possibly Paul & Ringo, to take part in the launch event with Jobs.

    Exclusive iTunes deal for starters - Zune users left wondering who the Beatles were, and why they only have 'modern cr@p' in their Zune marketplac.....

    You can't fail to notice that the Beatles are releasing their entire back catalogue on the same day as this Apple event...
