An insane amount of money to pay for a music player.

Compare to ~$250 for an Archos 605 30GB (@ Amazon)...from that perspective the Touch looks overpriced. Another alternative is the 32GB Creative Zen (~$250 too). However, given the "open" OS, (decent) wifi, good touch-screen functionality, plus the smug coolness you'll feel by owning an Apple product, I'd say the markup makes a little more sense.

m0f0,
I think pretty much everybody in this country can afford this but the point is that is to expensive for what it is.
I think if you don't care about the price then you should not waste your time looking for bargains.

I got mine on Amazon for $349 no tax no ship. Spent to much but seeing a 15 year old light up will be worth it.

That is mathematically improbable.

I could not disagree more.

Mocking paupers like you is not a waste of my time. I obtain great satisfaction and entertainment from poor unfortunates, such as yourself.

It's definitely overpriced like anything from Apple. However this is a great device. At least it was until they updated their firmware and screwed up my entire WiFi situation with no option to revert back to the firmware that actually worked.
Until last week I thoroughly enjoyed reading the morning news on mine, using it as a remote control for my stereo, using it to remote desktop into the server in my basement, watching movies and TV shows while traveling, getting driving directions from it, and playing hundreds of free games and other apps for it. It apparently also plays music, or so I've been told.

You can get a Zune that holds 4 times the music/movies for $150 less. It does lack 3rd party app support and wi-fi but you can get those on your phone.
