I have. It's so shiny, it's almost blinding. Definitely meant to compliment the aluminum scheme of new Macs.

Anybody upgraded to iTunes 9?

Yep, I was blinded by the light. I keep my main music list sorted as a grid and in this iTunes version it put the background behind the genre images a blinding off white. I checked everywhere in the iTunes prefs for an iPhoto like option to change the darkness of the background back to what it was in 6 but no luck.
Also when I went to the store my shopping cart disappeared and it moved all the items to a 'wish list' which sucks now because every time I want to add something I have to use the drop down and select wish list instead of just clicking add-to-cart. I want my shopping cart back it really helped me not over splurge on new music tuesdays, as I'd add stuff I wanted go to checkout see the tab and than slim the price down a bit. Guess they wanted to increase sales by making everyone use dumb 1-click buy.

So, is video of the event up anywhere? If it is, I can't find it.

^GL trying to stream the video, many people must be because it won't play worth a damn past Mr. Jobs standing ovation when he walks onto stage.

It's the same source feed, just that one is delivered from QT & the other from iTunes.

Just got my new 32GB Touch and I am unwrapping it/plugging it in. They must have just got them as the sales person looked at it oddly and said this was the 1st one he's seen.

One more thing: battery life is way better (that I see so far) than my 1st gen. Especially considering sound is enabled in everything. I've been using this thing for approximately 5 hours and only a 1/4 of batttery life used. My 1st gen would be at least 1/2 gone, probably more.

I love this thing.

I'm just going to buy a refurbished 8GB for $150 to hold me over until the touch's with cameras do actually come out. And they will. Apple has backpedaled before. They will again. The "touch is a game machine" excuse was just that, an excuse for why they failed. I suspect the problems with the camera modules were real and that Apple actually planned on having a camera in the iPod touch, but had to redesign them a few weeks before the event because of the problems. I feel confident there will be a camera in next years touch if not an update sometime this year. (And maybe even an FM radio)

They "missed the boat" on CD burners. And they "missed the boat" on cameras in the iPod touch. But better late than never.

So until then I will get myself a refurbished 2nd generation. I want it as an internet machine, not really a game machine.
