I LOVE my iPod nano!! I have a 20GB iPod; my husband offers to lend me
his 80GB video iPod, but I really like the Nano. It's small, light, and
is the last pink one sold before the new ones were released. If I were
buying a new iPod, I'd get the 8GB video Nano or the iPod touch for web,
photos, video AND music and podcasts.
I like the flash memory better than the hard drive. It's faster, and
much easier to fast forward and go back in podcasts. The size of the
Nano is perfect for me, although I wish I had video. The only color I'd
consider is red; the others are too boring. I'll have to borrow my son's
iPod touch when he gets his soon [I won't be bored with that, either].
Go to the Apple Store and play with the iPods. The Nano screen is
remarkably clear and easy to see, although small. You can still get the
2nd gen Nanos online; they do audio and photos but no video.
Install iTunes, select the iPod when it mounts, set prefs for sync or
not. Easy. From iTunes, go to the iTunes store to find some podcasts.
Many web sites also have links to their own podcasts.

I have just found out that my wife would like (read: is expecting),
an iPod for Christmas. I know next to nothing about them other than
that they store and play music. In looking at the Apple website, I
would think that something like the iPod Nano would suffice;
something that would handle a decent amount of songs and is able to
select songs if wanted. No video involved at this point. I just don't
know what's involved in the process of getting music into the iPod ,
and/or is there a better one than others as far as ease of use and so
on.
Any thoughts, reviews or recommendations will be welcome. Thanks in
advance.
