So this time around I was very happy to fulfill my Amazon order (32GB) with Launch Date delivery. I keep getting random jolts of excitement just thinking about the FedEx/UPS truck driving up to home...oh the fun I will have tomorrow!

Let me see what people think about the new generation first. Although, if they come up with a 64GB, I may take the plunge. My music collection is up to 32GB on its own.
