The apps are flashy, but im not really sure if they will enhance my life in any signifigant way.
So basically my dillema is storage against a really cool toy. Please enlighten me. I have a fairly significant library of music on itunes (about 60 GB's) but most of it i wouldnt feel the need to include in my portable device.
Thanks

The 32 gig iPod Touch holds a lot of music, more than you are likely to need or want on the go. I have thousands of songs on mine, plus roughly 20 episodes of an hour long TV show, plus podcasts and about a dozen apps and I still have 5 gig free.
A ton of the apps are crap, and the signal to noise ratio for finding great apps is all over the map. That said, once you find a decent core set of utilities, info apps, etc, its very handy. The lack of demos for the pay apps can be really frustrating - it sucks pruning your app collection when you have an app you'll never use again but paid money for.
If you can hold off just a little longer, see if the Touch gets any major hardware revamps in the coming months - lots of rumors swirling about the new iPhone hardware, and Apple may not keep parity between the Touch and the iPhone, but I believe they will keep it close to avoid splintering the app store market.
Being able to buy music directly on the touch can be a really nice way of treating yourself on a friday afternoon stuck in an otherwise quiet office.
