Am I the only one that remembers that the 120 GB classic replaced the 160 GB classic and that Apple is just bringing back something it had previously killed?

Well, yes and no. The new classic is a thin single platter device for $249 whereas the one from 2 years ago was a double platter device sold for $349. But yeah, they're otherwise pretty similar and nothing much new.

I too expected a camera on the new Touch. But I bet the new nanos and Touches sell like hotcakes this holiday. Time will tell. Not that I really care either way. The only iPod I plan to buy any more is the next gen (2010) iPhone. __________________ 64 GB iPad 2 WiFi, Apple TV 2, 32 GB iPhone 4 Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" (dual boot with Windows 7), Early 2009 Mac Mini
