I am currently battling what generation of ipod should I get. Should I crack and get a 3rd generation ipod, or keep on waiting for the 4th generation. With this news about the 60 GB HD, I am wondering if apple will drop the prices on the 15, 20, and 40 GB ipods. Any suggestions?

Well, the story at .com says "this fall". You want to wait another 4-6 months? That's something only you can answer, depending on how much you like having your music with you and how much you imagine yourself using (or needing) an iPod right now.

Personally, I got tired of waiting, strategizing and playing that whole stupid game, and finally bought a 15GB model at Target two months ago. And I use it ALL THE TIME, so you gotta weigh that whole "immediate enjoyment/instant gratification" thing against the "gee, if I wait another 6 months, it might come in colors!" routine.



I'm glad I got one because I love it and I have no regrets whatsoever. I can't even fill up 15GB, so I don't really give a damn about 60GB.

I'm a real "why put off 'til later what I can enjoy now" kinda guy, so these kinds of questions are usually pretty easy for me.

Good luck.

Personally I'd say wait for the 4th generation to see if they release a new design, but that's just because I absolutely despise the 3rd generation iPod design. Touch buttons =

I have a 15 GB ipod now, which I will sell as soon as the 60-gigger shows up. I need the extra space for data transfer. If you need additional space, wait; if not, buy now.
