Yes, the iPod Touch is all sexy and new. But most folks don't want to spend the extra $100 and are opting for the iPod Nano, according to a new survey from ThinkEquity Partners.

After checking 90 Apple stores and 18 Best Buy locations, researcher Darren Aftahi concluded the 8GB Nano was consistently outselling the well-hyped 8GB Touch.He explains:
