I was able to upgrade to the IPOD classic 160 GB last year before it was discontinued. It is a SHAME that Apple is still introducing products with so little memory capacity when memory is so cheap today. When you factor in apps, music, movies, email and games, the lower capacity models will not cut it. In addition to the products Apple sells, the free educational and informational products available on the Apple site cannot be practically used on the lower end devices – the user will have to spend too much time using ITunes installing and deleting apps, songs, audiobooks and movies to make room for new content. This is frustrating enough on a desktop. I hope the IPod touch line is extended and improved and I hope that HD FM Radio and GPS navigation, along with Improved battery life are introduced in the next model along with at least 512 GB of storage.(The IPOD Shuffle should have at least 16 GB and the IPOD NANO at least 128 GB of storage.)
The IPod was the big product in Apples corporate turnaround. People who otherwise would not have invested in Apple products embraced the IPOD, which served as an entry point to the Apple ecosystem and the IPOD touch, without the contract obligations and data costs of the IPHONE can continue to fulfill that role. Given its manufacturing costs, it remains a very HIGH MARGIN product for Apple. I would hate to see it kicked to the curb.
