(Side note: I wonder is the reason they didn't add Bluetooth feature is that it most likely would be used by people to file-share their songs to friends with a Bluetooth device?)

When I first saw the demo for this on the apple site I was giddy. I have the 3rd generation iPod, which I've seen very few people with, so I'm dying to finally get an upgrade and what a way to upgrade. The price is annoying me though; 8GB/16GB being $299/$399 but â‚¬299/â‚¬399. That's a huge difference. So much so that I've decided to get mine while in the states in December - I'll get the 16GB cheaper than it would cost to buy the 8GB in Euros. Saving more than â‚¬100. Waiting is killing me but the saving is pretty good.
I didn't actually realise it was flash based but now makes sense that it's so thin.
Regarding the lack of apps; there is a hack for it to add pretty much all the features and widgets that come with the iPhone (bar phone obviously). Will you chance it (it's extremely easy to do apparently and can be done several different ways if you find one way doesn't work for you) or wait and see do Apple decide to release an update that you can just download to upgrade its features?
