ipod Touch - Can anyone give me a reason not to buy this?

I have always wondered about the giant screens on these new media players. How common is cracking on them?

ABV is right. Flash memory has huge advantages compared to hard drives. It's less fragile, uses less power, is smaller, etc... Once 40GB+ sizes are available at a reasonable price hard drive portable players are going to be junk comparitively. Until then I can't justify spending big money for an 8 gig player.
