no worries
super-greg like i mentioned/hinted in my 1st post on this subject.. expect alot of minor glitches and limitations on the 1st generation i-pod... only major issue will be looked into asap like

os crashes..) expext the 2nd generation decemeber 2007 no later than march208 to address all those issues as well as offering a new phone with more hard drive...(20gig) much better
as with the verizon issue.. i fully expect there will be a i-phone for all other carriers
after the cingular contract expires in 2 years...
like you.. I will be waiting..
