P.S.: I just gained permission from my wife for a b-day iPod - it's only the 3rd b-day request I've made in 10 years, so she gave me the green light
Congrats (on the b-day and the iPod). Let us know how you like your new toy. ^

...or you can buy ScottC's old one the day after the new ones are on sale. ;)

Thanks for the Help!
 
After looking at a few previously owned, I decided to simply buy a brand new iPod. I picked up a black 60gb video for $340 including tax from a wholesale dealer down in Chinatown. I also bought a new, unlocked GSM cell phone to use in China for the next few months.

I'm still in shock - a Mac notebook for my wife and an iPod all in the last 2 weeks; I'm slowly warming up to the "Dark" side..... I'm starting to like mac stuff :eek: :D

I have a 60 gb and love it. I do have one complaint though and that is that the video KILLS the battery life. I was on a 7 hour flight yesterday and was fully charged at take off and adding about 30 minutes of video to my music playing almost didnt leave me enough charge for the flight. Made it but the battery indicator was on red. I think I need a Nano for, um backup ;)

I've been flying with a shuffle for over a year now. I mostly listen to podcasts but over half the 1GB is devoted to music. I've tried language lessons and they sound fine though I personally prefer a book where I can see the pronunciation. My wife's car radio tape deck died about 6 months ago. I bought her a 512MB iPod and the AirPlay transmitter and she's quite happy with it.

What is a "True" video ipod? Am I walking around with an "Untrue" one?
