Please help me buy an iPod

The IPOD interface is especially female friendly...that goes for Itunes as well. I bought a 30gb version for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The interface is so straightforward and colorful. Plus, you get album cover art displayed while songs are playing, but also in large format displayed in the Itunes library, which looks very cool. Personally, I like Cowon MP3 players, but they are more technical, therefore, male oriented, and no where near as user friendly as the IPod.

Along with the IPod, get her a pink
Z cover (http://www.zcover.com/) to go with it.

Agree with both posters above, if this not a Christmas gift and you're not in a rush, you can make your iPod buy at Ebay.

I bought a black 30 GB iPod video with cradle, earphones and all accessories for $151.00. The seller seems to have an unlimited supply as there are several closing every day. I think he clears out returns for the Apple Store.

The package had been opened and resealed but the iPod looked absolutely new and the money saved allowed me the luxury of premium earbuds :^).

My Ultimate Ears 5's kill the stock Apple buds, it was absolutely the right way to go for me.

Just get the biggest one they have available... the $$$ differences are trivial compared to this hi fi stuff, and that way you won't need to replace it with a bigger one.

The most important question - would your wife prefer black or white? For me - it's black or nothing

Get her the Nano. I find the regular Ipod bulky.

Thank you all very much for your responses. Should I just stick with apple products? Is downloading missed TV shows or a DVD very complicated, or worth it for that matter?
