The reason for the difference is that the touch and iphone use a different operating system from the classic and nano ones. The Touch/iphone use a stripped-down OSX kernel that takes up almost a full gig. Makes Windows Mobile look awfully efficient.
I've been going back and forth on the iPod Touch. I ordered one yesterday and then canceled it this morning.
I like the screen, hate the small memory. I rarely use my hard-drive based player and mostly use my 4 gig nano so 16 is probably enough for most purposes. My whole music collection would require an 80+gig ipod, but I rarely listen to most of the older stuff.
I like the interface, but am concerned that it will be too difficult to navigate music without having to look at the screen.
It would be great for reading books, but it looks like it will only last for about five hours with the screen on continuously. That's for video, so it could last longer for text files, but who knows... Enough for most people, but where I live plane flights to anywhere are always five hours or more.
I've never been so confused about whether to buy a gadget before.
