If durability is your concern, then go with the nano. Flash memory-based players will survive far longer than hard drive-based players with moving parts.
It also depends on how much space you'll need. If you only need 2-4GB of space, then the nano is a good choice.

Can't be beat. Lightweight, scratch-resistant, solid battery life, 6gb capacity. You won't be sorry.

but thats just my opinion
my friend bought an ipod nano
first thing is its not worth the money
around $200 for 2 gigs
i know it changes the format of the song to fit more, but thats still really not alot of space
itunes sucks more than anything in the world, just for itunes i would never get an ipod
the color screen really isn't all that great, trying to put photos on there ended up deleting every single picture on my computer, that really pissed me off
the thing seemed to scratch more easily than anything else, my friends looked like it went through a tornado
then he dropped it one day and put this dent in the back that completely fucked it up
the battery life didn't last long at all, and the only way to charge it was through a computer, i thought that was gay
the whole thing just pissed me off
this is just my experince with one of these things
if your like a skateboarder or something then this thing is pretty small and shit and easy to skate with but other than that apple is an evil corporation

The Nano is by far the WORST.
Try and get a 40Gb Photo, even the U2 Version...that was sexy..
The 5th Gen is incredible, but a little over the top.
As for you people that say 'iTunes Sucks', the by far better alternative is EphPod, Completely Free. 100% better than iTunes..you can download news to your notes section and organise your calanders...Recover lost songs, and completely rebuild the iPod after a whipe...

Mind if I ask where you bought it and for how much?
Anyway, back to the question. I personally think the Nano is a rip. Sure, it's tiny, but it holds so few songs. Why either
A)Slap down the $300 for more battery life, many more songs, and a bigger screen
or
B)Get a used one, like a 3G on the cheap.
Almost no one wants old B/W iPods, so they are really on the cheap. You might want to take a look at them on eBay.
Sure, the full size iPod is bigger, but, in my opinion, it's a much better value and much better constructed.
Post by: killerbootsman on February 12, 2006, 12:03:00 PM
it's awesome, the video resolution is great, and you gotta love the color.
you can get a $30 discount at apple.com if you are a student: http://store.apple.c...outingpage.html
plus about $15 in tax
my total was $285 shipped.
I would never buy one on ebay as it seems ebay has become the palace of scams lately.

The 3rd Gen IMHO was the best thing to ever happen to Apple.
Agreed. I love my 3rd Gen iPod. Even if it is only 15gb and doesn't play videos or any of that shit.
Unfortunatley, I've only got 500MB free on it, and it's my birthday in a few days, and that space will probably be lost. My only chance is to buy a bigger HD for it and upgrade. It's half the price of buying a new one, and by far much cooler to have a 60-100gb 3rd gen iPod, in my opinion.

My Ipod Nano is small. I like it. Sure I can only listen to music on it and it only hods like 500 songs. But honestly, who needs more then 500 songs at a time? And who the hell is thinking watching movies on a tiny little IPOD is a good idea???
you wouldn't even believe how good the quality of it is. I enjoy while i'm in bed trying to go to sleep, and i can just turn it on and watch it in the comfort of my bed.
Post by: Arjun on February 15, 2006, 02:13:00 PM
OK what are you planning on using the iPod for? If it's for the gym and small stuff liek that, go for a nano. but if you have a large music collection, get bored easily, take long trips, or whatever go for the video. Or just buy both
Post by: ubernewb on February 27, 2006, 07:55:00 PM
then buy this to keep it safe from scratches and minor impacts...
i did and couldn't be any happier. i have over 40gb of music and several movies that i love to watch repeatedly so anything smaller would have been dumb for me.. i also have a dock installed in my car so i can pump video out of my ipod into my 7" indash monitor.. absolutely incredible!

Hell even if you dont know the kid im sure someone else would know him there.

A decent human would have left a note and phone number. (Hell it could rain and ruin it if you leave it or the next "agressive skater" could steal it. ) This is just another reason to hate anyone who skateboards.

As for the people bashing on the prices, tell me where you can find an MP3 that size with that fuctionality at all. You have nothing to compare the price to, so saying it's expensive won't get you anywhere.
Ummm... Thishttp://www.creative....4&product=14331
Much better product and you don't have to use iTunes. You can use the windows software already on your computer. You don't have to convert audio. You can share files, it isn't locked like with iTunes. You don't have to spend $1 a song like with iTunes. You can use Napster or any other company for unlimited downloads for a small monthly price like $15-20.
Why don't you tell me how any ipoohed is better in any area than any of the equivalent devices from this company. There are more companies also, by the way. I just prefer Creative products.

Like I said read before you even attempt to insult me. There was NO ONE near the IPOD it was at the park closing. In my opionion if you LEAVE anything of value like that a phone/mp3 player I don't care what it is you don't deserve to have one. It had an alias/nickname on the back not an actual person's name so in actuallity what proof would that person have to prove that its that particular person's ipod. My friend is the person who really grabbed it and ended up just giving it to me right after we left because I gave him my PS2 awhile back when his broke.

So if you were walking by and seen an IPOD just laying there with nobody around it you wouldn't take it? If you said no you can go fuck yourself I bet 90% of you would in a heartbeat.

And to the fag who stole an iPod saying that 90% of us would steal one, dont try to act smart and use statistics against us, since im 100% sure that atleast 90-99% of people on this earth have MORALS. I even saw 2 ipods laying on the ground in our parking lot coming back from a bombthreat. So I got them to the office and the owners got it back.
You're scum.
What if it was your iPod and you left it somewhere on accident, and someone stole it and said because you left it there, you don't deserve it. Humans aren't perfect, they forget things once in a while, then you scumbags come a profit of them because you cant do it like everyother human and get a job. You just steal theirs.
