Now I can download as much as I want without worrying that I only have little space left!

Just bought the 500Gb version myself. Barely bigger than an iPod classic. Partioned for Time Machine and general storage. Perfect.

I bought a 500 GB hard disk a few months ago, it was a real bargain too, just 49'99€. Crazy, you get one gygabyte of storing for ten euro cents!! The only down is that it needs two usb ports. Oh, and that they sell you 500 gb and actually you get 465

No you get 500e9 bytes, which is roughly 465 GiB. Difference between computer standards and the Standard International.

Harddisk companies use SI units. But most computer software use the other standard. Thats why there is a mismatch between what you see and what you buy.

Also there is some overhead in the filesystem, that is also deducted from the raw storage capacity.

I went out this afternoon to work, on the way thought I might get some new music and came back with a new iPod touch 32GB. Good score.

Not sure, gotta wait two hours to get home first. Do the 3rd gens usually have OS3 for anyone who bought one this year or late last year?

Then I'd be guessing it has OS3, but that's with the search function isnt it? I fucking hate that but ah well.
