i'm gonna have to go with wait. i can't see the iphone technology not being incorporated into a new generation of ipods.

if you're completely against that idea you might want to look around for the older 60 gigs. they are as big size wise (i think they have the same dimensions) as the 80s but they are usually 50 to 60 dollars cheaper. they're a bit hard to find new because apple has stopped making them but they are probably the best bet.
