MP3 Players
I have a question for all iPod enthusiasts in this forum. I think my brother is getting me an iPod for my birthday coming up in August.
Now without being rude which iPod do you think is the best and one that I should sway him towards. I think he is probably going to get me the 20 GB iPod. Is there any advantage to getting the iPOD Video over the 20 GB version?
Also, one of my coworkers loves the DELL MP3 player he has and it is awesome, but I assume it isn't compatible with my MAC. I like the way you can scroll on it (it has raised buttons rather than the flat iPod circle) better than the iPod, but again I don't think it is compatible with my computer.
Also, are they going to come out with any updates on the iPod soon? I like the different colors on the smaller iPods (5 GB) but I would prefer more space that the 20 GB version provides. Also, what does the U2 version provide that the 20 GB doesn't? . Thanks for your help!

As far as the buttons and scroll wheels go, I can't speak about the Dell device, but the iPod's functionality is excellent. The fact that the buttons aren't raised isn't anything that impedes getting it to work well. I guarantee you that after you use it for just a little bit you will become quite efficient with it.
I also can't say if the Dell player is compatible, but you could search Dell's Web site and find out. Obviously the iPod is perfectly compatible with a Mac.
If you want to be able to buy music online and want that buying experience to flow smoothly into loading that music on your mp3 player, and/or you want lots of choices for accessories, choose an iPod. If you want a solid, well-made device that has an excellent interface, choose an iPod. You won't be disappointed.

Extra pain for your rear end after you fork over additional $$ to have Apple apply mechanical signatures belonging to a bunch of druggies on the back of your iPod.
so my advice is, if you hav e a big collection and you want your entire collection w/ you, then go for the 20GB, but if your like me and have about 4-5GB worth of music and its growing go for the mini, save some money and such, thats what im doing... my music collection is growing at a nice comfortable rate but i dont need all my music w/ me.... i like to have enough music for a day or so and then i could always alternate playlists and such also...
thats my suggestion, and my brother suggested i go for the mini and i was thinking that the 20GB would be better b/c i would be expanding my music, and now im thinking the opposite, and i dont need all my music w/ me... and now i want the mini..
