I like the new 4G iPod Nano design compared to the squashed 3G iPod Nano
 
I am going to be getting a new mac when I get myself sorted out and I get my pay rise sorted, so I may well buy an ipod at the same time. I really like the idea of the 32GB touch but the memory just does not seem enough for me. I have a 20GB Archos at the moment and that does not even hold about 25% of my CDs. May end up with a classic, bought one for my dad last crimbo and it seems nice enough.
 
I had a first gen classic (still do actually), a shuffle (weird gift) and now I have an iPhone (I hate phones, but I actually use this one for the first time).

I thought that I needed all my music on my iPod so I was annoyed when I first got a smaller one. What I do though is put all my 3+ star rated tracks on the iPhone and sync a random selection of the remainder each night when I charge it after work. I don't miss the rest and if I want something specific, I can just put it in a playlist and sync that.

Husband's finally getting a Touch now and he's going to have to start doing something similar.

I think I'll get an ipod touch, but to be honest, I'd rather ebay the older version but one with more memory rather than a newer one with less memory for the same price.

I would just get the classic, but I want to be able to read eBooks and browse the internet really easily. Also, in theory, the ipod touch will 'last longer' - Soon most ipod's will be touch screen, if not all, so there's no point getting a classic now; And then in less than 1-2 years, it being 'out of date'.
 
I have never wanted or needed a mobile really, so don't have one. However knowing/seeing people with the iphone I am starting to waver, although having to pay so much a month for a contract and only using it for the net is a bit too much for me. Although I think there is going to be a pay as you go soon but the phone is a lot dearer.

You could always buy one, and jailbreak it - It's pretty easy :p
 
I always told myself I'd not get an iPod (that I'd stick with less popular mp3 players)

But that 8GB Orange Ipod nano might just swing the balance.

It's so prettty :eek:
 
Well, i recently bought a Ipod Touch, and if i had 1 word to describe it, it'd be: excellence!

its brilliant beyond what i only thought it did,
It uses Safari internet to get onto the internet.
has a button directing you to youtube
can import movies/music vids/Misc video's
import pictures,
plays music whilst on the internet or looking at pictures.
can set your own wallpapers,
lightweight and easy to use,
looks stylish,

only fault i have with it is common for touchscreen, the smudging look :/

awwell, stick it in your pocket and the next time you look at it the smudges will be gone :p
 
The older iPods were far more reliable. God knows how many times I dropped my iPod Mini and it never once stopped working or have any problems. My 30GB iPod video (3rd or 4th gen I think) has crashed/frozen many times, and it won't even let me put videos on, even when I convert them to MP4/iPod format.

I'll be getting a good MP3 player next time.

I have a few spare styluses for one of my DS's (yes I have two), so that would prevent smudging. Head over to GAME and pick up some styluses.
