Hi,

I've been waiting to upgrade my 4th Generation color iPod for some time, since I want to be able to watch video podcasts (mainly), music videos, and (in extremely rare occasions) movies (since I work full time and study at night and I dont have time to watch movies on the go. I would only watch movies on a plane, which I only go once or twice a year). I commute on a train everyday and i would like to watch podcasts. I have a PSP but I want something smaller.

My usage would be: 75% Music, 25% Videos

I dont want a full screen iPod but I fear upgrading right now because nobody is sure on what will come next. I already got burned when I bought my 4g color 2 months before the 5th generation. What features am I waiting for? 1- FM Radio (I would use it every morning) 2- Maybe a less scratch prone surface.

Im concerned since the recent upgrade was labelled 5.5G, meaning the 6G will be coming out in a few months. But if the 6G is the full screen, Im not interested and will buy 5.5G 80gb. But if the full screen is a separate iPod line, that means there will still be a 6G coming soon that nobody has any idea what it could be like.

What do you recomend? Wait for 6g or buy the 80gb 5.5G?

I'll appreciate your advice.

Now's the time, my friend. The fullscreen iPod is the next high capacity iPod, and I doubt we'll see an update to the current flagship for quite a while. Enjoy your 5.5 g!

You know Apple sells a wired remote that adds radio capability, right?
