I hate using platitudes but good things do come to those who wait. My iPod of 3 years and half has been showing its age; battery life is now less than 4 hours, the monochrome screen (yea, it's not even in colour) is "fading" and the Firewire cable is not syncing with iTunes. It's still a beauty though; just not as pretty and nifty as the new iPod touch.
I don't care if iPod touch is just a version of iPhone without the phone; It's definitely time to play Goodbye My Lover.
Note: Yo bro, make sure you cross the pond with an iPod touch come December or you can sleep on the streets of London. They won't be nice and cosy that time of the year.
