I'll probably act disappointed for a day or 2 after the announcement if it uses GMA, but in real-world use, I'm sure I wont notice the difference one whit. Me, too.

Costco used to stock iPod+HP for about $30 off list plus 10 free iTMS songs. I think Apple is just restoring this retail opportunity, hopefully for the long term.

Bump.
