The apple store is down currently and so is spymac. However, on spymac's page it says that they are closed due to apple announcing their new ipods: 10 15 and 30 gigs with itunes 4. Is this really true? If so sweet.
If I'm reading the specs right, it looks like you can only connect via the dock...which reduces the iPod's utility as a portable storage medium. It was definitely better when all you needed to carry with you to connect to another computer was a FW cable...
Edit: maybe that was too hasty...a FW to dock connector is listed in the accessories, so it might go straight into the iPod as well...
Love the redesign execpt for the buttons. It is going to be much harder to press the pause button at the gym without taking it out of the case. Other than that and no DMB (Dave Matthews Band) at the new Music store.....nice updates.
The new connectors suck - I'd want to use it as a portable hard drive as well, but now I'll always have to have that twin cable in my pocket and not be able to just use a firewire cable that someone has lying around wherever I'm going :-(
