Hey, I was wondering if anyone here has an ipod, i am getting one for my birthday but dont know if i should get a mini or a regular, the regular can hold more songs and can use more accesories but the mini is $50 cheaper

i guess i need to know how much memory things like audio books, games etc take up because i am planning to get those

Uh if you have less than 5000 songs then you will have plenty of space for other things.

Dont get a mini. I suggest you get a Gen 4 instead of a Gen 3 as Barrel suggested. Gen 4s are just so much nicer/easier to use. (I have a 20Gig)

I just bought a 40 GB about a month ago...

I figured, in that price range, an extra 100 isn't that bad for a $50 accessory and the ease of mind of never filling up the memory...

Unless your set on the mini, go for a latest generation full size...

Yupp what he said. The click wheel is so much nicer in my opinion. Im not saying the 3rd gen iPods suck or anything. Im just saying there a little easier to get use to.

I say get what YOU NEED, if you only have 200 songs, then why would you need the one that holds 5,000 songs, and battery life isn't that big of a deal I don't think.

Read some reviews. Last I heard, minis had a pretty big design flaw that made the sound go screwy.

 

I got the 20 GB, because it's a generation above the 15 GB so it will have fewer flaws, and for a year and a half before it burns out I coudn't imagine using more than 20GB just on songs.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
