are U gonna get the vid or a mini or nano or what?

The vid is the best thing out there to watch videoes on still. You can try to argue that the PSP is better... but having a big screen can't hold sh*t to it because you can't fit more than 1 or 2 movies on a memory stick, and if you bought 30gb of memory sticks, you could have bought the best possible laptop for less than half of that. Nothing beats having all your movies with u wherever you go. Especially long flights or trips somewhere. Just buy a car charger though... video drains the battery in under 2 hours.

Don't ask for my comment on any other apple products, though.

I went with nano black. I'm almost positive it's last years model, but I checked out the specs compaired to this year's and didn't see anything different.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money, he already has a new tv, plus custom seat covers for his Mazda 3 that weren't cheap. This was one of those gifts that I bought the alarm clock 1st, picked other things up, and decided to go and finish with stuff instead of returning it.

Good Choice! The old black is WAY better looking than the new crap.

And that one matches my video :)

Glad to hear that!

Since he's 21, I didn't think he needed anything more than that. Not sure how much he'll use it.

I think this black matches much better with his Mazda 3

My daughter had a shuffle - she thinks it fell in her garbage can :(

On the plus side - her ipod video wasn't the one that fell in

I didn't even want to see wal-marts parking lot after seeing Lowe's.

Thank you very much. I know others have their own prefs, but I didn't need anyone's input, I wanted what I wanted and got it.

Oh no. I was put in my place.

You wanted an iPod for your child, that's cool. I was just simply making a suggestion that you could have saved a bit of cash (you mentioned you were strapped for money if I remember correctly) by purchasing a different MP3 player that is not overly expensive, and perhaps most important of all, is less functional and feature rich than other alternatives out there.

In either case, enjoy the $200 purchase.
