iPod preference

[JediTimmy]

which iPod would you really prefer; the new iPod, the nano or the shuffle.

for the me i think i'd prefer the nano, if i want to watch video i'd stick to a tv or a computer. i dont think i'd get much of a chance to watch video on the go.

I like the nanos. So small, I like. I got a green mini right now, though. Plan on keeping it till the battery dies. And anyways, I don't have enough money for a nano, trying to buy a Mac Mini.

[JediTimmy]

i more so want to get my mini set with accessories before i buy an iPod nano.

The nano is extremely sexy, but there is no comparison to the new iPod. Traded my Nano for a 60gig Video and never looked back. Of course, they both have their draws to different types of people and their individual needs.

the nano looks really cool, but the storage capacity just isnt enough for me. its a great item if you only wanna take part of your music collection with you, like for the gym or something like that.

for me, i prefer the 5g ipod. compaired to a 4gig nano, a 30gig ipod is only $50 more and you get an extra 26gigs worth of storage space, which i think makes it a good value. the new ipods are also slimmer than before and does not seem as bulky as past generations.

this has been a question that ive been asking myself lately as i am trying to decide on which ipod to buy myself. i think im going to go with a black 30 gig video... but something tells me i should just buck up and get the 60gig...

If you don't mind reloading the music frequently, and don't have a lot of money to spend, the shuffle works fine. I have a 512MB shuffle that I got free; it does the job adequately for me. I just plug it in when I'm sick of the music that's on it, and it automatically reloads. It's just part of my routine now and takes no time, really.

If you are buying a shuffle, there's the high price per MB for the storage to consider--the more expensive ones are a far better deal in that regard. But you are paying a much higher price up front to save that money overall.

The one practically sure thing you will see at MWSF in January is a new shuffle version, so if you can hold off until after the holidays you might get a screaming good deal on the current shuffle.

Don't have an iPod yet, will prolly wait for the real iPod video. But picking from what IS available now, I'd get the 60GB iPod with video. The nano is nice, but it doesn't have enough storage. The whole point for me is to be able to carry everything with you in one package. Otherwise you need multiple ipods. That to me is too much clutter.

I used to have a 60GB photo, but I sold it and bought a Nano. The smaller form factor really increases the usability for me exponentially. I actually don't worry about scratches or anything, I just toss it in my pocket and go. The 60 GB was on a belt clip and much bulkier by comparison. During my time with the 60 I found that I really did what I was doing with CDs anyway (that is, listening to a group of albums and then switching them out from time to time) so I didn't really need the 60GB with me all the time even though I have a 270 GB music collection at home.

So, the "super capacity" and the video don't really interest me, but it's great that there are choices out there for those with different needs.

Well I've currently got a 1gb suffle, and i love it, but I would really like more space and a proper interface, so I'm trying to decide between nano and video. So far, storage per £/$, the video wins hands down.....but the nano is just soooooo small!

[wergan]

Personally I think the new Ipods are ugly. I dont like the flat cut design on the fronts. Also I feel the screen looks to big on the Video. My little brother has a nano and my friend has a video so I have seen both in real life. I am going to go buy a Photo off ebay. (If anyone wants to sell there Photo send me a PM )
