What about a 3 year old 5G? Not that Apple has innovated much on the Classic in years, but they could support the newer features on the 5G if they chose.
Price is never a factor?
They'd have to put wireless in the Classic and Nanos first...
It's not, though. It directly competes against the classic. Plus, how many songs can you download on a Touch for $15/month?
Let me know when you fit 120GB on that Touch. Oranges to oranges.

Sirius/XM has 18 million subscribers and still loses money, not a very solid argument. Pandora and last.fm are free. Is the Zune Pass free? Rhapsody Unlimited? Napster Unlimited? Nope. The people like to own their tunes, not rent them.
A 5th gen iPod cannot utilize the new features of the current iPod lineup because it does not have OS X as its operating system. I thought we covered that?
Only until recently the Zune was the exact same price as the iPod classic and iPod Nano. Recent price drops have changed that, but are they enough to sway someone on the fence. Is cheaper really an argument for better?
The Zune competes with the entirety of the iPod lineup sans the iPod Shuffle. The screen size is similar in size to the iPod touch, has wireless capabilities like the iPod touch, storage like the iPod Classic and iPod nano.
As for how many songs can I put on my iPod touch for $15? Well that depends on what music store I am purchasing from and the price of the songs. You see, I don't believe in wasting my cash on renting music. If iTunes offered a subscription, I would pass on it.
