I got a 30GB Photo iPod for free as part of a research grant 
I was ehhh about them before I got one. But it’s pretty cool to have an MP3 player. I actually use it a lot. My wife was the same way and I can’t pry her iPod Mini out of her hands. Creative and Archos make some real nice MP3 players. I just got the iPods because the price was right.
We might be discounting the iPod Minis that we have late next week, so I’ll make a post for them. I have no clue on what Apple will let us clearance them for. I would guess they knock $20 off making them $159 and $209.
