80GB iPod seems like the only model with good value/price ratio. :D The home sync feature is an especially nice touch, something people predicted since the 2G iPods.

I hope Apple releases an iPod software update so those of us who already own 5th generation iPods can take advantage of all these new features.

I'm very happy about the gapless playback, and battery life, but generally all these updates are pretty disappointing.

From what I saw in the presentation stuff, 5G iPods get everything software related; movies, gapless playback, and games.

Exactly what I'm hoping.. I bought my 5G like 3 weeks ago, the only real difference is the software, I don't use videos enough to notice the brighter screen.

all good improvements, but pretty disappointing considering that the 5G was approaching 1 year since release.

Pretty sure new iPod is still classed as 5G.

iPod games are compatible with fifth generation iPods only
