well, I suppose that it could have benefits. If you're hanging out with some friends and want a particular song that you don't have. or if you are going to be away from you computer for a while (business trip, vacation, etc) and will have a wi-fi connection...
at first I balked at the 8 and 16GB limitations, but then I realized that I really don't listen to all 40GB of my music, especially when on the go. as such, if I had the money, a nano would be great for size convenience, a touch would be good for the internet and such when I don't carry my laptop, and a classic would still be the best way to carry my entire library with me. each one is good depending on the situation you need one for. actually, a 16GB iPod touch paired with my free Motorola RAZR (ugh, it's a piece of crap, but still...) is a nice alternative to the iphone and AT&T.
