I will prefer to acquire an iPhone instead of this new iPod Touch considering the price of the lastest MP3 player.

It's a nice way for those who wish to have "All in One" (phone, MP3 player, etc.) to get something well designed, intuitive and beautiful to look at.

Will it be able to use the builtin WiFi to play through Airport Express?

No, not for now, but it only needs a softwareupgrade, so hopefully in the near future..

Seems like a sensible upgrade route for Apple, built-in iTunes sharing on the iPod touch.

That would be a significant new feature though. In they did hardly ever throw these in via simple software update but through a new generation.

If they would do the touch with an 80gig or more harddrive, that would convert me. The wifi itunes streamining or itunes remote functionality would be icing on the cake. OK, if somebody would do an Itunes/Front Row remote on it, I woul deven buy a 4 gb version of it .... who are we kidding ....

you can do this with Signal from alloysoft. It turns your ipod touch or iPhone into a remote control with album art for itunes - which can play through airport express. You have to leave a computer on but this seems like a pretty cool solution.

Thanks Ryan for the tip on the Signal software.  I have used it on my iPhone and it works well.  It is a great iPhone wifi remote control.

Thanks for the Signal link - just what I've been looking for. 

I'd hoped that Apple would introduce this functionality but until they do, this is a great compromise. It almost takes iTunes into a Sonos-like set-up... almost.

and btw, the iPod Touch is amazing. I've had it for three days now and loving it. 

The internet browser is surprisingly useful.

i don't know why everyone's so obsessed with having a massive capacity in their ipod , my 80 gig is basically 75% empty - despite me having every album by queen , zep and the who on it and loads of games and videos etc etc

with the compression in itunes and quicktime ( more than acceptable pic and sound for dramatic space savings ) , you can fit a gigantic amount of audio and video into 8 to 16 gigs
