If she just wants it for music and maybe photos you can’t really go wrong by just getting a 1 or 2 GB nano. I’ve only got a 1GB but it’s all I really wanted/needed and I love it. ---

there isnt really 30gigs on the 30 gig they round up i believe it has 27.4 gigs or somethin i have one have filled like 6 gigs in the past 6 months they are about 250 at the store and if ur handy wit the computer u can drag album covers next to the song create play lists etc… i recommend the 30 gig only because 1 or 2 gigs will not be enough in most cases …also your ipod can serve as a large file transfer device ---

Formatting a drive does not result in having less disk space. Most likely the 30GB is based on 1KB = 1000KB instead of the proper 1KB = 1024. ---

anywho the video might be more than she needs. What is her “needs” for it, if she wants compact and easy to use, just get a shuffle. If she wants something with a screen then get a video.
