The iPhone is a very cool device, and beats the iPod hands down for video, but as an in-car audio device - which is what I use my iPod for most often - it doesn’t hold a candle to my aging iPod.

The cool thing is that you dock your ipod onto it like the BOSE sound dock, and therefore the quality is quite good. Also I believe that you will be able to store mp3 files in your car system, but I'm not sure. Apple is debuting a new car kit that you must install into your dash like a CD player.

Again, it's a price/performance decision. Also snagged their Airplay FM transmitter. Not an A+ but pretty decent for the money--and a buddy said better than the iTrip. For what it's worth!

Also, this would be a prime time to start with <a href="http://www.audioscrobbler.com/" rel="nofollow">Audioscrobbler</a>. It'll handle the offline listening data when you synch, as I recall ... worth it if you're going for that personal panopticon thing or are, like me, always on the lookout for new music.

I’m going to rate my entire collection and use the ratings to get rid of the stuff I don’t really listen to.

However you can only use the cable rather than the dock to sync. My wife bought me the Belkin ITrip which works quite nicely. The sound is good but not great using an FM transmitter.
