*votes iPod nano*

Shuffles SUCK! They have no screen, they're stupid, they're stupid, and (you guessed it) they're stupid!

You can get a Creative MuVo for cheaper...they're better, have longer battery life, AND THEY HAVE A SCREEN!!! MuVo's have been said to be the best line of flash (non hard drive) MP3 players on the market

If yer gonna go with a 2-4GB MP3 player, go with a nano, IMO.

I personally wouldn't want a nano...just because I couldn't fit all my music on it...I wanna get the 60GB iPod color

Buy a pmp, which actually has an os and 100 gig for less than 200 quid, you can watch tv on it, store photos mp3 and any kind of file really. Ipods are for people with no appreciation of new technology and who like to be parted with cash for very little reward. ipods shouldnt really cost more than 30 quid and we know it.

You could buy a combined usb key and media player and still have enough money for your fishtank. And it probably wouldnt break if you dropped it. Ipods do that.

This is true for the nano, as it is for the ipodvideo. I'd get a cover asap if you're going to buy either.

If you NEED to carry thousands of songs with you, that's just sad


If you worked nights in a grocery store listening to grocery store music you wouldn't think it's sad

I don't see how they're stupid. No one really thinks they need to carry thousands of songs, but having your whole collection in the palm of your hand is convenient for some. For someone with a lot of music, its much easier than fumbling with a huge CD case. Ipods with flash drives are also good for people who workout often and want to listen to music.

People who use Ipods as status symbols would probably find something else to show off if there were no Ipods.

Just because someone has a different style of listening to music doesnt mean theyre stupid, sad, etc.

There was a great deal of mirth regarding the nano's instability. So a bunch of luelinkers put it to the test. They dropped the thing off first story windows, out of a car at various speeds, etc. It finally stopped working after being chucked out a car window going at 60 mph. Not as flimsy as one would think. Besides, the new ipodv has only two hours of videos. Not enough to merit shelling out that much money. After having purchased a nano, I would never be seen lugging around a huge ipodv.

What should I get?
An ipod shuffle? If I got that then I would be able to get a 20gal tank as well.. I think..

An ipod nano? If I got that I would have no money left But a cool ipod

How about a 40g tank? Or a 20g and a purdy light

Scott, that's what I'm getting, as soon as I get another couple pay checks.

I say either get the new color iPod, or get a salty tank. Those are the only ways to go.

Dont get the shuffle...they're just weird. >.<

Get the 20g Ipod! It costs the same as the 4g Nano but you get 3,500 more songs. Or a new tank, which is always fun

Also, I have heard that the Nano is a bit on the flimsy side. Think twice, act once as they say.
