Just looking at it, I don't think it's going to be a world beater. Not at first anyway. It's too thick / clunky looking. The world expects thin and svelt from Apple now -- they've created a market monster with very specific tastes and expectations. I don't think this will quite do it.
Once they do the "iPod Pequeno" treatment on this thing and v2 comes out that's half as thick with the kinks worked out of the features, then it will take off.

I think this scenario is a safe bet with Apple. You never want Apple's first try at
anything.
