iPod (5th Gen) vs. iPod nano
My iPod (3rd Gen, click wheel, n/ color), recently broke, so I am looking for a new iPod. And I'm kind of confused. I really like the iPod nano. It's sheer size and sexiness is very appealing to me. Also, its accesories are awesome (lanyard headfones, armbands, Incase wallet and folio). However, I have heard that the screen is to small and that photos don't look that good. With the new iPod, it is appealing to me because Lost and Desperate Housewives are two of my favorite shows, and I am really excited about having TV Shows on my iPod, and the screen is a definite plus. However, I'm just not sure how it will handle when I excercise with it, and it might be to big. Do any of you have any insight on this? Are any of you facing the same predicament? Any advice would be awesome...

lol same here...i think im goin with the 30 Gig though...I only have about 700 songs on iTunes and i know i won't have to many pics...so that should leave enough room from like one season of a TV show, plus lots of music videos...But I think i am going to wait until the new iPod is in stores so I can see it for myself and then make a decision...I hope it doesn't get sold out and delayed like the mini...and the nano...
I absolutely LOVE the nano it is excellent for everyday use it's excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. I have adjusted the way i handle my music to compensate for only having 4gb rather than 40.
Not to fear I have the 60gb 5G on order.. nice to have ALL your music with you but i can seriously say having the Nano as well means I will be sharing my time between them 50/50.
Nano for daily use in the pocket, washing car, gym, walking dog.. 5G for MOVIES (joking) mainly in the Bose (which is excellent and i would also recommend to anyone) car journeys and times when i will be away from the mac with all the music on for more than a day.
If I had to choose one or the other.. 5G i think just because i am used to having ALL my music available to me at any time. but that would be the only reason the nano is almost perfect.. I'm just used to 10x the capacity

Get a 2 GIG nano (white) and a 30 GIG and be happy for about 6 months.
