80 gig iPod-thoughts?

[aikomhoch]

As an educator, I'd really like to take advantage of the iPod rebate bundled with a new Mac. I need a new laptop, and I plan to get a Macbook. I'd really like to get an 80 gig iPod over the current 60 gig. I was wondering what thoughts all of you shrewd Apple observers might have regarding a possible (probable?) release of this higher capacity iPod. Anyone think it will be out before the end of this rebate offer (end of summer)? Thanks for your thoughts,
Michael

Very soon now if you listen to the wardrums... or maybe not. Certainly before Xmas, I think. An 80gb iPod will be my next iPod.

Whether or not an 80GB iPod will be forthcoming, my opinion is that the iPod promotion will be over before they are released. I wouldn't hold off if I were you.
