Let us hope this happens…

8GB is definitely very tasty, especially thinking of that kind of capacity in such a wee device. Headroom is a wonderful thing. I could load a nice group of Rhapsody Channels on the Clip, rather than reserving my listening to just two.
But, for locating that favorite track, I am quite spoiled with the display size of the e200 and Fuze.

I guess 8 gb makes a statement and attracts attention (something this small, with 8 gb), especially where Apple failed to upgrade its small player in any way apart from some extra colors.
I do wonder, at the same time, about the value of an 8 gb player–for me, 8 gb is in that netherland of not enough to store one’s collection, and simply allowing more time before transferring files off of it. But that has value, and I guess it also is nice for recording, where the Clip records to wav and not mp3 or other compressed form.
That would be nice if they made a 8gb clip
Well, at least Apple can change colors…I don’t think paint will change the fact that the Shuffle is one step above a Shaker, with no display.
I’d like a pearl white (cool gold pearl at that!) 8GB Clip, rather than silver metallic. I know, the 'Pod has stolen the thunder from white, but it would look cool. Tasteful and understated.

I could use an 8GB Clip. I’ve about 130 megabytes left on my 4GB Clip, and really don’t want to get rid of any music. I like taking my entire MP3 library around with me. I did recently get a very cheap, brand new Sansa c240 (v1) at Wal-Mart on clearance ($22!) and that’ll act as an overflow, especially with some 2GB MicroSD cards I got on-line. So, yes, I could use an 8GB Clip…
All the best,

If you like FLAC, you will want an 8 GB clip.
8GB would definitely be cool. However, they need to address some navigation limitions before it would be feasible. I can’t imagine navigating 8GB of MP3s on a Clip without some kind of alphabetic index/filter and accelerated scrolling. It’s already brutal on my 8GB Fuze, the Clip would be even worse.
Yeah 8GB of FLAC is like 2GB of OGG
Does anyone have any idea when this might be released based on previous IFA shows? If it’s more than a month I guess I should get the 2GB one now. Not keen from what I’ve read about the silver coating on the 4GB.
A tech. blog I read said the 8 gb would be out for December holidays.
As to the 4 gb, the reflection issue really is not an issue, for inside use; it only would be an outside issue if you use it alot outside in the sun (and I find that the 2 gb has a degree of that same issue as well, outside).
