I definitely like the 5G model's features better than my 4G iPod. The 30GB iPod Video I picked up recently surprised me when it remembered where I left off of with multiple tracks; i.e., I can be listening to one audiobook, switch to regular music, and come back to the audiobook without having to remember where I was at. In my 20GB 4G model, if I swapped out from listening to an audiobook I'd have to remember which track and the position if I wanted to continue. What a PITA!
BTW I totally agree about listening to unabridged versions, who are they to tell me what I don't need to hear from a book? That's always bothered me, esp. with all the Star Wars audiobooks I picked up (unfortunately, the originals are all on cassette).
The iTouch is gorgeous, just glad I can't get a hold of one right now or I'd be sorely tempted to get rid of both my older models and upgrade!
