Do they still make 160 gig apple TV? Do and or are they still going to make the original one?

Apple does not make the 160 GB Apple TV. The only Apple TV Apple makes is Apple TV MD199LL/A [NEWEST VERSION].

I have 70Gb on a 160Gb iPod, and all the CDs to match. The problem I have is that iTunes is the only practical way for the touch, so unless they allow Winamp to be used with the touch I will have to stick with my old style iPod. I hope the 4.0 operating system allows 3rd party software to work, if it does then there's a 128Gb iPod touch in my future, if it doesn't then there isn't. The touch actually has two memory devices, so a 128Gb chip allows a 256Gb touch or a 128Gb iPhone. The 64Gb parts are currently going in to mass production, which allows 128Gb touch and 64Gb phones.

I can agree with you with the size capacity. However in the design they probably had to go to flash to keep it smaller. And there was a 160gb iPod classic before they dropped the first iPod Touch with 8gb and 16gb.

No, you can't. As all Apple device. But 16g is enough space for a small device. Unless you are using to store videos.

J.B.An hour-long TV show typically takes up 200 MB. I download shows (such as CSI and Monk) regularly from Apple's iTunes Music Store. I have the 30 GB player, but kind of regret not getting the 60 GB. I currently have about 22 hours of video content and about 580 songs on my iPod. Between the videos and music, I've used up about 10 GB (1/3) of space and I have yet to upload the bulk of my music collection.With all that being said, if you are budget conscious, you can still make do with a 30 GB model -- as long as you rotate your video content out of the player, which is easy enough with iTunes. Whichever model you decide, I hope you'll enjoy the iPod. I certainly wished I'd had purchased mine sooner! J.B.An hour-long TV show typically takes up 200 MB.

For me, it's not a big deal with updated storage as 64GB would suffice the "app twitch" i'm experiencing. I have an 80GB classic right now, and have about 20GB free but I'm not going to say I would complain about a 128GB touch. ;-)I care more about the updated hardware components (camera, etc) than I do about storage capacity when it comes to iPods.With the integration and creation of 64GB flash modules, there's two options that I see. It's either Apple makes the case smaller and keep a single 64GB module to save on space and integrate more and faster hardware components, OR (what everyone else is speculating) is integrate 2 64GB modules to make it a 128GB Touch...which would be saweeeeet!!</rant> For me, it's not a big deal with updated storage as 64GB would suffice the "app twitch" i'm experiencing.

you guys don't even realize less than 1% of the country have the bandwidth necessary for decent 1080p. why should Apple, or any company, waste money on a feature hardly anyone could run? if you think there is a huge difference between 720p and totally compressed 1080p over a WAN connection, then you are living in make believe land, which is fine, because someone has got to buy all the Monster Cable.

I have placed an order through MacMall for $760 (after $40 shipping mail-in rebate). They do not have it in stock but gave me ETA of 1st week or March. I do not have any type of cable service currently. How does this tv display OTA TV channels? I plan to use it for OTA that will be digital soon and DVD and w/portable video player.

The last 7Gb on your Classic! I think you are already effectively maxed out, as our iPods need a bit of breathing room and the 7gb would be that room.

When will they be available?Looks great combination of features & price-I really want a good viable alternative to the Apple.It will support/play Adobe Flash too, which Apple doesn't, & it's High Def, which Apple isn't

Excellent review. My questions are: 1. After you made your 17 Gb movie did you burn it into iDVD? If so, how did you fit that size movie into a 4.7 GB DVD?ThanksSony DCR-SR100 novice mac user (G5 imac)

I was interested initially in the 40A550, but ultimately went with the 40A650 because the important features were a priority for me, maybe a bit of futurizing. But now that I've had the 40A650 for 10 days, I've just made the plunge and am exchanging it for a 46A650. I figure I haven't bought a tv in 16 years, let alone a flat screen or high def, so I'm getting exactly what I want and I wouldn't want bigger..but for me the type I want came first if that was the only choice..don't know if this helps but as this post was 4/08, you may be past this by now..Good luck..

For me it's real hard to shop apples to apples for anything. I do feel that this TV is the best bang for my dollar. Why was it discontinued?

The classic 160GB. Huge capacity, great screen, easy to use. Wish is was available in other colors, but that's my only complaint. It's also quite a bit cheaper than the largest touch model, which can't touch it for capacity.

Dear Laura, I researched this product well before I purchased one. I tried it out for about an hour and immediately returned it the same day. Yes it will work on an apple TV but I have to warn you about a huge flaw that no-one mentioned in the website mock up. That flaw is this. It really has no way to adjust the aspect ratio. What the box does is, it takes whatever signal is channeled to your TV and it streachs it out in an unnatural way to fill your screen. That means you end up with a wide bar at the top and bottom almost as if you were watching a movie in wide screen which by the way is a 16.9 aspect ratio. But not everything is broadcast in 16.9, the next popular ratio is 4.3 and that is the One that fills your whole screen. What the company left out is that regardless of the aspect ratio this box streachs everything like I mentioned earlier in a wide unnatural way to fill your screen, so what you end up with is a picture of short, squat looking people and objects. If you have a zoom feature on your TV which I'm sure an apple does you can correct this problem. However, when I did it the 1080p resolution the device claimed reverted back to a standard signal and the picture became blurry. I hope this helps you, to me the box is a straight out rip off. But you can sell anything if your website looks good enough. Sincerely Arthur McBride

I have the 160GB iPod Classic. The cable arrived today and, unfortunately, does not work.
