I figure there are enough of us with these now that it's probably worth having a thread where we can talk about them without pooping all over an eeepc thread.
![]() So far I'm loving mine. I found a good solution to the video transcoding dilemma in the for of the Xilisoft Video converter. I endcoded a couple of videos with it yesterday and it worked great and only takes about 15min. to transcode a 40 minute show which seems perfectly reasonable to me. I haven't decided whether or not to install the 5 App pack from January since I don't really need any of them. I can check my gmail through the web interface and even that is hardly necessary. Bottom line, if Apple can find a way to drop the price about $100 per category so that the 32GB version is under $400 I can see these things taking over the world.

They could drop the price by a $100 now and still have pretty high margins, however as long as sales numbers keep meeting expectations we won't see a price job till a refresh in the lineup. Probably sometime in the summer when they finally get around to releasing a 3G iPhone.

Both fair statements about the price.
I'm just waiting to see how it goes with the whole SDK situation and how much they're going to charge Touch users for the privilege of being able to add Apps. I don't fully understand the situation as it is right now but saw the whiny thread on HF so I know something is up with Apple limiting what Touch users can do compared to the phone folks.

Well they announced push-email and exchange support for the iPhone yesterday should be huge for helping it get into the enterprise market a little more. Of course it also helps that blackerry has had two nationwide outages in the past month
. Personally I'm waiting for the 3G version to come, EDGE is so fucking slow it's unbelievable.

Blackberry seems to always have outages and service shut-offs (whats the phrase I'm looking for here?) for their 'legacy' products. I'll take the slow edge over an outright outage any day.
I have to admit, as an iphone user, once the 32GB touch dropped, I have been considering ditching the iphone and getting the touch. I use the ipod and web features more than the phone. If they ever make a 64GB touch, I dont think I'll be able to resist.

That said, I believe their original estimate was US$300+, so this has already been corrected updated at least once.

And yes, buy a million opamps and you'll pay pennies on the dollar for them compared to mouser price.

well i remember hearing that flash prices are going down, so that there may be a $100 drop in prices of the iPhone/iPod Touch. this of course would be accompanied with Apple dropping the lowest storage ones.
