Keep me away from the Apple Store
This stuff is just too cool - my wallet may completely deflate if I'm allowed to enter an Apple Store w/o supervision.
Jobs answered it [the iPhone buzz] with the iPod Touch, which shares the same touchscreen technology that was the trademark of the iPhone. The device also features the ability to connect to Wi-Fi Internet hotspots and a full Internet browser.
The device will sell for $299 for the 8-gigabit version, and $399 for a 16- gigabit version.
To complement the new device, Apple unveiled an iTunes Wi-Fi music store. Customers can preview and purchase the song over the Web using a Wi-Fi connection to their iPod Touch.
Jobs also unveiled a new version of the Nano, which Jobs said was the most popular music player in history. The new Nano is wider to accommodate a 2-inch video screen and metal design. A four-gigabit Nano is $149, while the eight- gigabit version is $199.

The iPhone 8GB version had a $200 price cut and the 4GB version is being discontinued (also $200 off while supplies last).

I wonder how you're supposed to use the wheel on the new nano with one hand without your thumb getting tired in no time...
Disappointed in iPod Touch capacity

I would have bought the iPod Touch if it had more storage. For something designed for video why would they put so little storage in it? I've actually been eyeing the Archos 605 instead. Not as cool as the iPod Touch, but for $328 you get 80GB opposed to the 16GB.
