Someone point me in the direction of a good IPOD

[jcuk3tm0]

whats up niketalk? i'm thinking about buying an ipod but i'm clueless as to what kind i should get. i'm not really worried about price but idon't want to buy one and then a month later they come out with a new one, i hate when that happens. also, where should i go besides itunes to downloadsongs at that wont give my computer viruses? again, i have no clue so any advice would really help. thanks

they just came out with updates for the ipod nano, touch and they adjusted the size of the ipod classic.

you're safe buying any ipod just about, just browse through their features. I just bought a 80gig classic refurbished for like 180$ which is a lot cheaperthan the now standard 120gig at like 250$.

you're on your own for downloading free music, I would avoid that as to not get banned on here.

Differece in Ipods Nano (small and very portable) Classic (Bulkier but with lots of more space and you have the video option) and Touch (just like the iphonewithout the phone) you decided what you want it for ... exercise go with the nano .. regular day to day usage and for high storage go with the classic and ifyou want it to play games surf the net hold music look cool go with the touch ..

[tylerhundley]

It's funny that you'd make that joke. Did you get the ipod or your money back?

nah nothing ...

 

[infamousod]

^ nah next year will be focused on laptops. they update ipod models bi-annually by precedence but there's little else other than increased storage spacethat they can change (that will be useful).

OP I would go with a nano if you have no music right now. because you probably won't get over 8 gigs of music for a long time. Nanos have more tech rightnow than the ipod classic, they are smaller and the solid state flash memory is less likely to break down compared to the ipod classic (which I have).

if you want the whole experience of an itouch thats a different story.

 

[cincoseisdos]

cant go wrong with any iPod

I have the 160gb black, 1st gen 16 gb touch and a pink 6gb mini. All work well, hell i've had the mini for over 3 years now with no problems

The iPod Classic gives you the most memory for your money. $250 for 120GB. If you dont mind carrying around something thats relativey large, anddont mind the fact that it has a hard drive with moving parts, go with this (this is what i own)

The iPod Nano is great for portability, and it has solid state memory (no moving parts). However, the screen is kinda small if youre gonna use it to watchvideo, and the HD can only go up to 16GB.

The iPod Touch is relatively expensive, but has wiFi and gaming capabilites. battery life is significantly less than any of the other iPods, and the screenwill have to be cleasned constantly or protected. Comes in 16GB and 32GB

iPod shuffle=gimmick. Dont bother

EDIT

Go with the nano. You wont have to worry about damaging the hard drive while youre moving working out, and weight will be less of an issue

 

[urbenyouth]

iPod Touch. Look no further.

 

[2g00d4u]

grab the iPod touch 2g. I'm typing this as we speak!

 

[crcballer55]

you'll LOVE working out w/ the nano with the new "shake" feature.

Only thing i would say to get if you really have the money is the iTOUCH.
Other than that, nothing.
Go to your local wal-mart and check out the mp3 players, alot of them come with better features,more GB's,and for a cheaper price then mostly all ipods.
