I think apple phasing out the classic is something for a few years
time, I doubt its an immediate thing. The Nano is the same price as
the clasic not because they're making the clasic cheap, its more that
the Nano is as expensive as the clasic. That much flash memory is
still quite expensive when your talking of over 100GB and you pay for
the very small size.
I'm thinking of a Nano but although I really do want one I'm not
looking at how I would have done even just a year ago. Now that my
phone Talks and has a decent music player on it the value of an iPod
is to take my whole music collection plus a few extras with me. On
the other side though, the Nano does have 24 hours music playback and
I don't always want to use my phone.

that explains why the nano and classic are the same price (or at least
they were both $249 but I suppose the nanos might have come down?) I
have more than 16 gigs of music, etc on my computer so went with the
classic. Hopefully it will be around for a while. :)

To be honest, at this point although flash drives are coming down in
price, your still looking at $1,000 or so for 64Gb and probably not
that much less for a smaller drive. The thing is they won't do it
unless it's reasonably affordable. Why turn out a 20Gb or even 40Gb
iPod that is flash drive-based if it'll cost the consumer $500 or
more dollars. This is just my speculation of course.
