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 -------------

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... ------------- Shaft!

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. |

Ive got a 3rd gen 10gb ipod. My experiance tells me that you should go for the new 4th gen 20gb for $299. You are gunna use it as a hardrive as well so you are gunna need the extra space. right now the 20gb 4th gen is the best deal. it has a 15 hour battery and a cool click scroll wheel. you cant go wrong with an iPod. just cause it costs $50 more than other mp3 players at its level you cant beat the quality that apple gives you. i khnow some guys at ipodlounge.com that have had their generation 1 ipods eversince they came out. If you have any questions at all you should visit www.ipodlounge.com -------------

As far as I know, the smallest 3g iPod was 15gb, and the 4g has a 12 hour battery life. |

For real, give them a year, they'll be gone. I got a mp3 player from RCA. 6 hours of music. Do I go anywhere 6 hours from here? No. It's all just to say I got 40 Gigs. Meh....... -------------

iPods have been around for about 2 to 3 years, I know I've been wanting one for about 2. I also know I will never fill up 40 gigs of music but I will use it as a portable hard drive, and that will be useful. iPods are a fad, yes. But there is some praticallity to them, and once the prices drop on MP3 players, I think CD's will fade away into MP3's and other digital storage devices (i.e. thumb drives and the like). Just as cassete tapes and floppy disks have. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

I have a 4th gen 20gb Ipod and I love it. I don't really like how the battery runs out pretty fast though. ------------- |

Have you considered a different brand. Iriver,Creative. Creative Nomad's are sweet, the new ones are cheap and small. -------------
