So the new widescreen iPod that everyone was waiting for was announced a few days ago. Most of the discussions I’ve seen focus on the fact that you can’t change the battery, I got ripped off because the iPhone was reduced in price, iPods suck, PCs suck, you suck, etc.

What about the most obvious issue? Hello! It’s an iPod with a bigger screen for watching video, but it only has 16 GB storage! The new iPod classic has the old tiny, tiny, tiny, screen but has 160 GB! This is crazy! I bought a 30 GB iPod 5G when they came out and I’ve been regretting it ever since. I’m constantly deleting files because there just isn’t enough space for my video podcast subscriptions when they update. I’d be happy with 60 or 80 GB and 160 GB would be fantastic… but 16? I can’t do it! Sorry Apple, I’m going to have to sit this one out till you come to your senses. Give me the bigger screen AND the storage and I’ll buy a new iPod immediately.

And, oh yea… The new screen isn’t really 16×9 like it should be. Come on Apple. You guys are supposed to be good at design.
