I think you're right - the OLED screen is going to have a powerful WOW factor if it's as good as other OLED screens I've seen. In a store it should have big impact. But this is assuming of course that Apple won't come out with an iPod Touch with an OLED screen too...it's all about the one-upmanship.

I tend to agree with you, but over in the Zune Thoughts forums, I'm always amazed at the number of people who cite the FM radio as being a big selling point for them. I listen to radio when I wake up in the morning, and maybe in the car if I'm sick of the CD I have in the deck...but that's about it.
