angry angry angry I JUST bought an 80gig iPod 3 weeks ago. If I had known this was coming out, at $100 cheaper, I would have waited and picked this one or the new iTouch.

To the OP:Apple routinely unveils new products and upgrades in early September every year. Buying an iPod in August when there was a very real potential of an upgrade coming out in Sept (the old ipods hadn't been updated in 2 years) was a bad move, obviously. oh well- obviously that ipod is worth $350 to you so it's not like you lose anything from it- you just missed out on a better deal. You'll know better next time.

I understand your frustration... and so can all those people who shelled out $600 (or more) for a new iPhone, only to see the price drop $200. Apple smoothed it over a tiny bit by issuing them a $100 Apple Store credit. Whoopee.Imagine the poor saps who paid well over retail for the iPhone just to have one of the first ones?

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

If it is in good condition you should be able to return it for the full purchase price. Then you can buy different one.

If you think you feel bad? Try being an owner of a 80gb iPod and then having it stolen from your vehicle. Hey! S..T happens, and you have to learn to take the good with the bad. I was taken for $350.00, but I didn't go out and buy a new iPod right away. My patience paid off, now I can go get another 80gb with new added features and for a cheaper price.

You were happy to buy it for the price you paid, but are unhappy other people get it cheaper???If you didn't want to pay the price you did, you could have waited knowning that the price of all technology drops. The rumours were out there as well - you just needed to do some searching.Would you have been grumpy if they waited another few months? If not, you should ask yourself if those extra months are the difference between you being happy or being angry.

I did the same thing and took it back last night. Since there was a 30 day return policy they took it with no questions asked. Try the retailer you purchased it from.

I tried to download my I tune file for my music and other video. I had some problem, the seller asked mo to go the Apple store to check out.I was told my apple that this phone is previously owned. I bought fro Amazon as new. I dont know, if this is actually pre owned. Seller should tell it new or used. I bought it as new per the seller.

I ordered mine on Sept 21 and still have had no luck, unfortunately, I can't just cancel my order and buy straight from apple because of some amazon gift cards I used to purchase it. When these gift cards are gone, I hope to not be doing much, if any, more business with amazon.

D-a-a-h-h! I don't feel very intelligent right now. I went home last night and looked at itagain only to realize there was already an insert in place, so of course another wouldn't fit on top of it!!!! All is well now, just need to figure out a way to have the iPod on the dock and listen to the radio...without the earphones.Thanks so much :)

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o) Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication.

Hi Eunji,Did you buy it? Was it the Full Version as you expected? Recently I've been ripped off with a seller named Apple Worship about this particular issue, and don't want to screw this up again. I'm sure Amazon is a much more reliable seller.Thanks.

I did the same thing ordered on the 12th @ $299. Hopefully the iPod will qualify for Amazon's pre-order price guarantee where we get the lowest price the item sells for, since we did pre-order them. Mine has shipped out already so I can't cancel and re-order.

In my personal opinion this is the only true "iPhone Killer" I've ran across. Like the popularity of the iPod and iTouch, of course accessories are not as abundant as the Apple Products (only, due to pure marketing by Nokia). Please share your opinion regarding this subject. (Present owner's of this item please respond)?

I never had to look up the warranty information because my device has performed flawlously. As of this writing I have transferred over 3,000 songs to my computer and downloaded them to my IPOD. I admit I had some difficulty figuring out how to use the device due to the poorly written instructions and the lack of detail content. However, I am very happy now that I have figured things out for myself. Maybe, that's the point. You know......learn more completely through massive experimentation, Good Luck.

It'd probably take awhile till they ship out the NEWER iPod Touch for the same great price. Haha, it's not even listed on amazon.com yet.

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.

What I want to know is, after reading these reviews both good and bad, I am wavering about whether I should keep my Striiv. How is the company going to support me if and when the devices freezes, stops working altogether etc. I am a citizen on a fixed income and really bought this device at great sacrifice to myself. I would appreciate an answer ASAp

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

I just bought 30 gb video ipod. I get about 6 hours playing music and maybe 2 hours with video.I was told thats normal. I use it work and all the usb port are disabled here. After reading these posts, looks like instead of buying a AC charger I should just replace it with another one. Still with in return policey time.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

*Steps on soapbox*I cancelled my order. I even ordered it with two-day shipping so I was expecting to at least get a estimate on when it would be shipped. I called cs and I also got some moron from India. All I wanted to know was if they had an updated date when they were going to get the shipment so they could fulfill my order. Instead he basically said verbatim everything that I already knew, and when I asked for any new info, moron began to repeat the exact same stuff he had already said. I cut him off with a Thanks for Nothing and then hung up. I have been a long time customer and now this single incident may just turn me off from any major purchase from Amazon ever again. I just ordered from Apple and was informed that it will be shipping today. So if anyone else is wanting a Touch any time soon, I suggest you cancel you're order that may or may not ever ship and get it for certain from Apple.*Steps off soapbox
