Wait to open 80 GB iPod Video? - SeattlePhotog - 12-29-2006
So, I got a nice shiny iPod for Christmas! A top-of-the-line Black 80GB iPod Video. Complete with a gift receipt! It was something I had almost purchased for myself a month ago, until I remembered that the MacWorld Expo was just around the corner.
And that the iPod was sort of due for an update!
Question: would YOU rip off the wrapper, open the box and start filling your iPod with iTunes right away? Or would you tough it out for a couple of weeks, hiding the box out of sight (and out of mind), to see if Apple wows us with a NEW AND IMPROVED iPod at the MacWorld Expo?
Side note: the gift came from someone who would never be offended at a gift exchange. This is more of a patience issue.

heck, why not just wait until 2020 and see whats out then? =)

I got some money & certificates for this very thing and I'm waiting 10 days, 00 hours, and 09 minutes before I order anything. So I have to disagree with JDC on this one. An 80 GB iPod would be a nice switch-up for me from my 40 GB, but I'm going to wait and see what January 8 has to offer. Even if it's something I don't really want (I'm not all that hip on a full-screen iPod) the 80GB one will come down in cost.

LOL -- sorry -- missed the sarcasm tags again =)
nothing until after MWSF on anything -- but to be honest -- most every mac product is near the middle of their cycle... except for maybe the mini -- but i dont expect that upgrade until february

Your logic is SO flawed!

Hi DaviDC,
Whose logic is flawed, and why?
Thanks!

While I'd bet money there will be no new iPod at or mentioned at MW, there's no way I'd buy a Mac product now, unless I'd loose hundreds of dollars a day by not doing so.

Loose?
What's loose about the iPods? I thought they were built to tight specs.
I'd hate to lose a piece of my new iPod just because it was loose.

No, I'm talking about letting hundreds of dollars loose, because I couldn't corral them, not having new iron.
As long as I can keep a tight reign on 'em, then I'm not buying nada until MWSF.
See ya'll there!

The way iPods sell on eBay; you could use the iPod for a couple of weeks and sell it and break even.
