I have a black Ipod Nano and my wife has a pink Ipod Mini. Both are 4GB. Sure it would be cool to have a 30GB or 60GB but I didn't think I would ever need that much space so I went with the smaller, sleeker looking Ipod.
I've got a 4th gen 60G iPod photo. I only chose the ipod because it integrates into my Pioneer head unit in my car and the others won't. I just plug it in and throw it in the console. It's like a 600 disc changer.
Ipods are good and all but they are way over priced for what they do. I may be old school but I dont quite understand why people need to listen to music at all times. I personally would never find a use for the ipod as my radios at home and car work just fine. Maybe if I had to use public transportation, but then I would prefer to pick up radio stations...

I don't know about the others but I live in a valley, more of a plateau actually but that is another story. Look at any map of California and you can see roughly where I live. To the north of Los Angeles is a large brown triangle shaped area. I live in the western point in the foothills of that triangle. We don't get very good radio reception. We don't get good television reception. Almost everyone has digital satellite television in the area. There is a cable company but they serve less than 50% of the region. There are four local radio stations, none are really good. Anything else, forget about it in most circumstances. We could get XM or we can get an MP3 player and take our music with us in the car. I can actually go to a place not to far from home where you can get 10 different radio stations on the same frequency due to the signals bouncing off the granite and quartz in the canyon.
We could get XM or we can get an MP3 player and take our music with us in the car. The MP3 player is just more convenient. That is usually where I listen to music. I can't listen to audio books while working because it would be distracting plus they lack substance. Give me a hardcover and a hot cup of chai any day. Music in the background provides noise but isn't distracting while I work. However for that, I just stream off my PC.
