Yes, for you it's not worth it. I'm just pointing out the *many* advantages of the Touch over the (now discontinued) SB3, and these advantages will drive sales and generate new interest in the entire SB lineup. And all for the same introduction price point as the original SB3. They are essentially taking the SB3 (which was wildly popular at $300 to many people), added numerous features and functions, and are offering it at the same introductory price point. Your options: buy used SB 1/2/3's, wait a year or so for the Touch price to drop to current SB3 prices, buy lesser capable streaming devices. I'd love to buy a 3rd generation 64gb iTouch at the same price as what the 1st generation 8gb iTouch is selling for. But then.... reality sets in. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
