Seeing that it is becoming more and more likely that new ipods are going to be released this week, I would like to see how many of us here are going to jump right in and buy one.
Got a tip for us?

i am....the minute it comes to retail stores...i'll try bestbuy first.....closest apple store is 125 miles...
i hope it has wifi too.
if it has wifi are you hoping for safar(i am) or something like music streaming or iTunes store?
I work not far from an Apple store, and I'll be there as soon as they have some available. I'm hoping for boosted storage but honestly, I'll live with it. I don't even care about WiFi what I do care about is whether I'll be able to turn it off. I prefer a decent battery life
As for waiting out potential problems, well, that's what AppleCare is for. I suppose I would wait for a while normally, but in my case my long standing 20GB gave up the ghost a while back and I've been using a first gen shuffle since, which is great but I much prefer having my whole library on me. Of course, I haven't been able to do that for a while, but a lot is better than nothing at all. My library is 57GB now, so 120GB futureproofs me for a good while!

Yup, if it has Safari then I can go on Meebo and use MSN,GTalk etc. on my iPod
and also send free text messages (my school has WiFi all over). Also with the mic accessories (if not built in) I'm sure there will be a way to use Skype Out on it.
No, all my money is tied into buying new lenses for my camera and I have a perfectly good iPhone that I use as my iPod.
If there's a touch screen then I can use it as a PDA (limited at the moment) so I will be buying that - unless its too expensive.
WiFi will bump up the amount I am willing to spend a fair bit.
If the Touch iPod has a HDD not flash I might hesitate and buy a flash ipod and wait for the iPhone to come to Oz.

It's gotta have OS X, a touch screen, and wifi for me to consider it. I know that's sorta demanding, but I wouldn't use it much for just music. My collection isn't even 2gb...
im going to come home after school, check if theyre in stores right away and then drive to the apple store as soon as i can
iPhone-schmiphone. It's very cool, but my priority well and above a phone is music. 8GB is just nowhere near enough for the whole phone/music combo to be a sensible get.
We're talking about the next iPod, not the iPhone
So far, we do not know what the 6G's storage numbers will be (it will most likely not be 4 and 8 GB)
I want to go to the Apple store in Sagemore Wednesday if they are announced and "available today"

Bah, I forgot to quote the previous post to mine. If the 6G iPod only comes with 8GB, I might have to reconsider my vote, haha.
Not in the immediate future. I need a new one since my current one is full (I've got about 20 more gigs of music I'd like to store on there). But, I don't use it often and I'm trying to save money so an iPod isn't really a necessity right now.
And I won't buy anything that doesn't have at least 100 gigs of storage. So even if I had money, if these new iPods max out at 80, I won't buy one. My music library is 78 gigs (so it won't fit on an 80 gig since it's more like 75 formatted).
