For the most part, I am pretty disappointed in yesterday’s unveiling of new Apple iPod music players. I kept hoping that they would do a little more.

I mean, the iPod Touch is awesome, but why did they end up putting only 16GB of flash memory in there? Why didn’t they just put the friggin bigger hard-drive in there and make it a tad fatter? I just can’t understand! That would have been so nice if its storage size was at LEAST as big as the former video iPod’s. Geez. DO NOT WANT.

And I know that Apple is trying to get their product lines all in sync, but c’mon…doing away with the white version of the Apple iPod and instead replacing it with a silver?! WHAT IS THAT?! Why didn’t they just keep the white and just add on the silver version as another option? It’s not like they’re really trying to skim down on choices since they now offer so many different versions of the iPod line (too many, I think). Anyway, the tacky silver keeps making me think that the new iPods are Chinese knock-offs than actual real iPods. Now at least one of the new iPods look as nasty as those new silver iMacs. DO NOT WANT.

And wow…can the iPod nano get any uglier? DO NOT WANT.

I’ll happily wait this first batch out before I purchase another iPod. The second generation iPod Touch surely should have better specs. I’d say the only great thing about these new iPods is the revamped interface. It’s a tiny bit smarter.
More images inside if you haven’t already seen them.

So, which iPod are you?
