i really hope that there is a 30GB only version, beacuse i bought my a 30GB iPod over the 60GB because it was thinner, so i dont want a case that is thicker than it needs to be.

i agree; I would really like a 30 GB specific case.
My problem is this only supports headphones with small plug (like the apple ones).
My Sony head phones with a right angle plug will not work
hopefully they will come out with an adapter.

Hey I’m about to buy an iPod video, but did some research first. I started out with Creatives ZEN-model, which had a 2,5” screen cantaining 265.000 colors. Now I checked out the NEW iPod 5G but it said that this new ipod only had 65.000 colors?
i mean....IS THAT TRUE? HAS APPLE REALLY NOT PUT MORE COLORS INTO THIS NEW RETOUCHED, 66% BRIGHTER, DEVICE THAN 65.000 COLORS??
