Sorry to hijack this thread but.. I think you are right, we may not see an updated touch but i do hope that the market continues to move in this direction though. The ultimate goal should be to completly remove a traditional pc from the equation. When i want to watch a film or listen to music, i shouldnt have to run upstairs to turn my pc on then turn my router on (sorry im the type that turns stuff off when i leave the house), then wait 5 minutes before i can enjoy my media. I did some long research before i opted for the touch and discovered that in my price range (sub £500) the touch is pretty much it. Hopefully the usb drive suggested to me in another thread (by iphone) should fix my own problems with touch and tinysbs. I have seen the sheevaplug, which is a step in the right direction! -- spamtom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ spamtom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81784
