Bonus: Comes in pink!
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Steph, I have an 8g iTouch (bought new in August)
I am quite happy with it -- connecting with Wifi to get online, check emails, watch YouTube is easy when you live in a city, video quality is better than our TV.
Okay, you folks have convinced me (or confirmed my decision)! I have to go for the 32g one, though, because I'm going to want to keep photos, etc. on it in addition to music and such.

How limited is the Windows 7 Starter Edition (compared to, say, XP Home, and on a netbook does it really matter)? I've been thinking about a Black Friday netbook myself.

Steph, I have the 32G one. If you go lower than that, you lose some functionality with the Touch. I was trying to decide between the 32G and the 64G. The 32G is nice and light, so I'm glad I got that one.

That's right -- I remember reading that in a CNet review. Hell, when I bought my ancient iPod mini 4 years ago, it was a refurb, and it was still ~$210-ish, IIRC. For a 4G mini. So $279 for a *new* 32G Touch is fine w/me.
Gah. There's an Apple store in the mall across the street from my office, and, being Instant Gratification Girl, I really want to go get one NOW.

I'd love it, but I would need to download to the home computer and I'm sure that it will get snatched up by the time I get home.

I'm not sure I qualify as a lurking Buffista, but Deena I'd love to use the key. I've been curious about this software for a while now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I love my ASUS netbook. I agree with the recommendation to try out as many keyboards and configurations as possible. I couldn't have coped with a smaller keyboard.
