Whether your employees will be happy with that is a point to consider.
The 'real' iPod is a somewhat larger, more robust item, and comes with either a 30 or 80 gig Hard Drive. (I believe the 'Nano' is flash drive driven).
The larger version of the iPod retails for $299 and $399 respectively (probably can be gotten on sale over the net or during the inevitable January sales).
This puppy is a real powerhouse and will hold a kazillion songs and plays quite nice music videos of excellent quality.
Depending on the number of employees you have, if you choose to go the 'real' iPod route you might also wish to change your posting handle from
BKKROP to
BKKRUPT

First, welcome to FT.
Back to the real iPod saga.....given 'your' definition of what is a real vs poor man's version, tell us pray tell how you would define the old mini - which by the way was the best selling model when it was still on the market?
There is nothing wrong or poor re the Nano, nor for that matter the shuffle. Not everybody get's off looking at video's on an iPod and having the smaller poor man's version has some distinct advantages....obviously something the apple folks got right!
