I confronted the "now, or wait?" question, and found it was unrealistic to expect Apple would upgrade the Touch as soon as I'd like. During a recent trip to the Apple Store, a staffer speculated it wouldn't be until 2nd or 3rd Q '88 before he'd expect the iPod Touch to be upgraded. (unusual, because Apple staff are discouraged from speculating about such things in response to customer questions, when I worked there we were more honest and would say we have no idea what Apple is going to do next, which is true, 0 advance knowledge about product announcements or changes) but based on iPod upgrade cycles in the past, his observation was credible. Since I was there to replace a stolen iPod, and didn't feel like guessing and waiting for several months, I pulled the trigger and bought the 16 GB model, and am happy with my new purchase. By the time you read this, you may have already ordered yours, I'm sure you'll love it.
