Judging by what's in my iTunes library, about 500 MB is pretty typical, but it varies some (looking at purchased hour-long shows that are actually 45 minutes of video)
Maybe I've always been here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm, thanks. That does make the 64GB iTouch a possibility. Before I'd only been thinking about the 160GB classic.

let me complicate your choices
I have a 32GB ipod touch (though, now I have a 32 GB iphone) and if you use AirVideo, you can stream video from your computer to your phone over wifi - which I have done not infrequently.
So if you have a reliable connection, don't try to pay all your money for extra storage, get the 32GB and stream what you can't fit.

This would be for toting video around with me--I can stream any of the video in my house to my TiVo or Apple TV.
And my music is currently just about 28GB worth, so I'd be looking to go bigger than 32.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This is why I don't even have a smartphone yet. Too many options!
Hell, I can't even decide if I want to buy a refurb TiVo. Dish Network is a frustrating unreliable signal and Comcast's DVR is a pile of user-unfriendly suck, so a TiVo would solve the problems ... but what if I don't like it? Dither

Only crazy people don't like TiVos. You might like something else more, but you can't not like a TiVo!

A ringing endorsement. Okay, I'm stopping being ridiculous and buying the TiVo.
Now, perhaps a Droid Incredible? But what if it isn't... Incredible?

The only real downside to Tivo is that it won't work with DirecTV, which is of course the provider I have to have. But you can do the cablecard thing with Comcast.
And if you really hate it, you can sell it.

Well, it does, but you can't do the dual tuner with DTV.

It does? I've got a Series Two that just gets the free channels right now, can I hook it up to the satellite signal? I thought I couldn't.
