you can find just as good mp3 players for less money I got a 1 gig samsung for under $150 holds almost 200 songs and use it all the time it runs on rechargeable batt. and one charging last about 8-10 hours couldn’t beat IMHO.

best buy has some kind of deal that you can trade them in after two years (with the insurance plan) for the value you paid for it on another mp3 player because they go outdated

Screens crack to easy…

\<– works for apple now.

If you going to get an iPod, get a older color. Since the video is out their going to be coming down in price alot.

IPods are OK but i think they are overrated…its just the “in” thing.  
a lot of people don’t even call Mp3 players…Mp3 players they call them IPods no matter what brand they are…its just a staple.

the Nanos are nice…my friend got a black one. personally id get something different since everyone & their mom has an IPod but that just me.

before you buy…its worth your time to hit up the sony outlet in grove city.

i was ther about 2-3 months ago & they had a lot to chose from…the little flash 256, 512MB &1G ones also the hard drive 20G+ ones.

this was about $150-$199…forget the exact price(retail for $250+)…they are the underrated hotness.

they also have PSPs…but not that much cheaper then the stores…maybe$20

others that seem nice but shadowed by the lure of the IPod

yeah the sandisk ones are nice too…  
espically cause you can just get new sandisks instead of erasing if you fill up.

if i was going for a smaller 256-2G player i’d probably get a sandisk…but .20G+ i’d get the Sony NW-HD3 @ the outlet…the new HD5 is out but not sure if the outlet has them yet.
